I am writing a simple shell script where it checks the condition using if condition.
Code:
if [ $name == "JOHN" ] then admin='YES'; fi
if I use like this I am getting below error
[code]....
I am trying to modify a script for research purposes and am having difficulty here as I have little prior experience with C-shell scripting.
The script looks as follows (it includes tcl commands like runFEP that you can ignore)
#!/bin/bash
for ((old=1, new=2; old<=4; old++,new++))
a1=${old}%50
a2=${new}%50
do
cat > input${new}.conf <<EOF
${a1}
code....
My question: I keep getting a syntax error when defining my two variables a1 and a2. I essentially need these variables to be
a1 = value of variable old divided by 50
a2 = value of variable new divided by 50
Some may recall I recently gave up on bash, rather than give up my programming style.Surely I will have reason to return but that's another story. My little issue now:I am debugging a new [Korn] shell script. I have a function that performs a specialized match on a string and I see that I am able to call that function with no problem, with both of it parameters. The function does not do any print or echo command - it uses "return" for a TRUE (0) of FALSE (1), as is the shell exit code convention. Thus, I have the following test:
Code:
if [[ match_except_release ${PATH_DIR[$LC]} bin ]]
then

I was trying to run small shell script, but could not run. I got the error like in subject.
This is exact way i was trying to do.
I am a Novell (now defunct) CNE tring to learn Linux and am having a lot of trouble finding out where the WB 6-6 is wrong in the syntax for adding local4... the the syslog-ng config file. In the instructions there are discrepancies between commas and simi-comma, they are both in the statements in no particular order. there is no pattern to them. Here is what the book shows:
filter f_local4debug { level(debug) and facility(local4); };
When I try to input this in the Gnome terminal window to try and find out where it goes wrong I get the following: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token "(" If I can get the correct syntax I belive I can use the info to get past the rest of this portion of the lesson. I am desperate to learn Linux as the only jobs out there for a Novell CNE are migrations to MS, which really sucks, since MS really really sucks.
I know it's possible to change the $ user@hostname colors, but is it possible to color different things? Could I make all numbers/integers a certain color. Or set certain keywords to be bold?

Im a bit stuck with a simple script that im practicing with... im trying to get my head around some simple scripting. Basically i want to write a script that will work as below: It will ask the user to enter their userid. If its correct it will say 'Correct' If its the wrong id (But the ID exists in /etc/passwd) then it will say 'incorrect' If its not a valid userid it will say 'doesnt exist'. What i have so far is:
[Code]...
# If the user enters their own userid they will get a comment saying 'correct' $LOGNAME) echo "Correct";;
# If they enter another users ID (That exists in the /etc/passwd), then they get a message to say 'incorrect userid used'. Im not sure what i need to do here to get it to check the /etc/passwd to see if the input exists in there.... im guessing some kind of simple 'if' statement to say ---- "if 'input' exists in /etc/passwd then echo "incorrect userid used"
# If its entered incorrectly and not a valid ID then they will get this comment. Again, im guessing this part would be similar to te above option..... *) echo "not a valid ID";;
Ive managed to work out how the basic Case staements work, but to add a conditional statement based on the input, i just cant figure out. I have tried looking on google, and found some help but it doesnt really explain how i check the input against the /etc/passwd.

My brother has Tri boot Ubuntu ,7 and Vista ..GRUB2 is the bootloader..The problem : At boot after the Lenovo splash disappears , there appears some 4 to 5 lines of error , error:syntax error GRUB or similar..This is visible only for a fraction of a second before the GRUB2 menu pops up...
The OS es load properly on selection in the menu so no loss of functionality One another problem is there is no OS highlighted by default and the timeout message "Automatic Boot in 10 Secs" does not appear Reinstalling GRUB does not solve the issue

When ever i open vim, i get the error that the following error: E484: Can't open file/abcd/configFiles/vim/syntax/syntax.vim There was a .vimrc file in my home folder that i have removed.
Still i keep getting the same error. Presently in my home folder there is no .gvimrc or .vimrc file.
But still i keep getting the same error. I am not too sure where this file is mentioned.
Background info: The SHELL has been changed from tcsh to bash Earlier i had created a .vimrc file in tcsh, i have removed the .vimrc in bash SHELL.
Mental note: ignore start-up process scroll.
Okay, now MySQL is just being (even more) difficult. Prior to boot's starting MySQL, I notice the line
Code:

Near?? Line 132 consists of
Code:
'stop')
Which is proper, and identical to all the other /etc/rc#.d/S19mysql scripts that don't result in errors. C'mon...!
