Dam script will not work - ;^0

Paula J Frazer-Campbell — Wed, 05 Sep 2001 18:09:21 GMT

Hi to all

I have written a new script but no matter how I try it will not work.

I have set it to 755 and it is owned by me but still refuses to carry out its commands.

Any suggestion or other scripts gratefully received.

Paula...

Are you missing a quote at the end of
your a's definition??

b's definition.. c' definition also...

a=`cat /usr/sysadmin | awk '{print $1}'`

Try with these correct quotes for other variable settings also.

Hmmm... Lemme try it...

#Aged
a=`cat /usr/sysadmin |awk '{print $1}'`
if [ $a != 21 ]
then
a=21
fi

#Sexed

b=`cat /usr/sysadmin|awk '{print $2}'`
if [ "$b" = "A lot" ]
then
b="Sex God"
fi

#Incame

c=`cat /usr/sysadmin |awk '{print $3}'`
if [ "$c" != "Not Enough" ]
then
b="current x 3"
fi

try this and see if it works?.

Hi Sridhar

I have put the quote in but still problems

Read the script and what it is trying to do --

It is just for fun.

Hmmm,

I get the following message when I type in 'sex':

sex: not found

Sounds about right.

The multiplier for your salary seems low. I'd try upping it to x 5.

Hi John

I have tried the x5 but all I get is: -

Insufficient recourses

I have looked in money.log and the last entry is a negative value could this be the problem.

Let's see now:

Step 1: We should all be 21
Step 2: We should all be sex gods or goddesses
Step 3: We should all be making triple what we are making now

Sounds good to me!!!!!!!!!

Re: Dam script will not work - ;^0

John Poff — Wed, 05 Sep 2001 18:40:48 GMT

Ok. It sounds like we should have a Unix command to fix that money problem. Let's try the 'make' command:

make more money
Make: Don't know how to make more. Stop.

Oops. Looks like we're out of luck! ;)

I think I see the impossibility of it all now Paula.

I wish you could get this script to work, though I'd rather be 25. Auto Insurance is cheaper that way. ;)

Paula !

I see a problem where you are using comparison operatos. In Shell there two types of comparison operatos one for numberics and other for strings.
If you are comparing strings use ==, !=, > , < etc.,
If you are comparing numerics use -gt,-ne,-lt,-eq etc.
The script is modified to work.

Thanks,
Madhu

I thought that had fixed it but alas no :-

The errors are:-

age = "You must be joking"

sex = "You are already at limit"

income = "Export cv/resume"

;^0

Paula,

This one would be good enough for me...

#/usr/bin/beer #(the little known beer shell)
#####################################
# Beer
beer=0
drinking=TRUE
while [ drinking = TRUE ]
do
if [ beer -ne 24 ]
then
((beer+=1))
else
sleep 3600
beer=0
done

Cheers!

Madhu Sudhan_1 — Wed, 05 Sep 2001 19:13:00 GMT

Paula !
Your script has the following statment
c= ?current x 3?
Here the variable current doesn't have any value neither initialised nor assigned.

Are you trying to multiply current x 3 or are you trying to assign a string "current x 3" ?

...Madhu

Re: Dam script will not work - ;^0

Paula J Frazer-Campbell — Wed, 05 Sep 2001 19:13:40 GMT

Hi Timothy

You could perhaps use a get and make in your script.

i.e.

if beer = 0
then get more beer
fi

or
if beer =0
then make beer
fi

Lets not get into debuging 401k.scr everytime that program runs. It crashes my entire system with the output going to retirement.out always getting lower and lower. I am thinking I need add a sleep command somewhere maybe a
sleep 31536000
and that should fix it for now.

Paula J Frazer-Campbell — Wed, 05 Sep 2001 19:16:35 GMT

Hi Madhu

Yes I spotted that and defined current as 1 in the script.

The 'beer' shell script is a good example of how processes use pipes:

beer | user | bathroom

Of course, there is always my favorite little script (courtesy of thinkgeek.com - they have it on a t-shirt that I'd love to have!)

cd /pub
more beer
