shell scripting question -- nested mail and ftp statements

Ted Mims — Fri, 13 Jul 2001 20:30:52 GMT

I have run into an interesting problem and was hoping that you might could shed some light.? Below is an example of code followed by the error generated.

put $OUTST
RC=$?

if [ "$RC" -ne 0 ]
then
??????? echo "sample text"
??????? mail tmims@mutualdrug.com <

Hi Tim,

This one is easy. You have whitespace in front of your '!'. Move the '!' all the way to the left and all will be well.

Regards, Clay
