scripting

[Troyan Krastev]

Hi all,

I attach a script that download an Oracle utility. Download is ok, but the loop after the FTP session doesn't work! If the loop is before the FTP session, it is ok! Any explanation?

Thanks,
Troy.

for I in 1 2 2 3
do
echo "<${I}>"
done

As coded, this is looking for files named "1", "2", and "3" that are, presumably executeable.

This is what I get from that loop...

manaus :/ # ./file
<1>
<2>
<2>
<3>

in either case, supply the set -x output for a quicker investigation..

Later,
Bill

Hi Mark,

Remove the FTP session and run the script again. Without FTP I get:
linus:/tmp/tr #./patchsetlogs
+ PATCHSET_FTP=oracle-ftp.oracle.com
+ PATCHSET_UTIL=patchsets.sh
+ PATCHSET_DIR=apps/patchsets/PATCHSET_COMPARE_TOOL
+ PATCHSET_USER=anonymous
+ PATCHSET_PASS=troyan.krastev@ricoh-usa.com
+ + basename ./patchsetlogs
WORK_DIR=/tmp/patchsetlogs
+ INST_DIR=/cpapps
+ [ ! -d /tmp/patchsetlogs ]
+ cd /tmp/patchsetlogs
+ chmod 777 /tmp/patchsetlogs/patchsets.sh
+ echo <1>
<1>
+ echo <2>
<2>
+ echo <2>
<2>
+ echo <3>
<3>
Wich is wat I expect with FTP too.

This is wat I get with FTP:

WORK_DIR=/tmp/patchsetlogs
+ INST_DIR=/cpapps
+ [ ! -d /tmp/patchsetlogs ]
+ [ ! -d /tmp/patchsetlogs ]
+ cd /tmp/patchsetlogs
+ ftp -i -n
+ 0<<
open oracle-ftp.oracle.com
user anonymous troyan.krastev@ricoh-usa.com
passive
cd apps/patchsets/PATCHSET_COMPARE_TOOL
get patchsets.sh
close

EOF

# make the utility executable

# run the utility against every Instance

try changing EOF to ENDOFFTP

Thanks Bill. Can you explain.

Troy.

Most of the time it happens in "for" loop when you are using EOF. So, always try to use some other different EOFFTP instead of EOF.

Thanks
