I've been trying to find a bug in this test script, but haven't been able to so far. I'm not lazy, I promise...just new to Bash so am having a hard time catching syntax errors. I call the script with the option -disableVenusBld, and it still prints "Starting build", which it shouldn't be doing right?

I have this project which I've been working on essentially nonstop for the past three days and due to work I am running low on time. I'm new to Linux/Unix and my Teacher has assigned us a scripting project, due for Monday. I have All the functions for the project in a separate file which run as a daemon process when I log in. It has no syntax errors but my Script can not run the functions (I'm not sure where they go before or after the body) and I have one function I'd like you guys to take a look at. It has a Second menu leading to a case statement but it does not run after the Search. I'm Kinda tired of looking at the CLI but I have to finish this.

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.
Solving issues with signed and unsigned numbers in BASH.For a start, Yes, BASH is type independent � I know that. My problem lays in catching executables output into a BASH variable.My executables are not quite UNIX compatible, where returned values are 0 for OK, >0 ERROR. They return 0 for OK, >0 WARNING (only, so move on) and <0 ERROR (abort) instead.

First, I'm trying to cross compile mono 2.6.4 so that it will run on Freescale Embedded Linux for a PowerPC CPU. My host machine is running Fedora 13 on an x86. Freescale provides a copy of the Linux Target Image Builder (LTIB) that has been pre-configured for the particular board I'm using, and LTIB seems to be able to help with the cross compilation of other stuff--you can add in your own packages to be built and included in your newly-built Linux image.
Mono depends on pkg-config and glib-2, so I have selected them in the LTIB package selection config. I've also added a new package for mono that builds mono-2.6.4 from the source tar (after the other deps have also been built).
I'm having a problem getting the glib-2.24.0 package libraries created. Basically they appear to build and link ok, but then libtool runs and errors out claiming it has a syntax error! (numerous wths followed...)
Here is LTIB's temporary build script for only the glib2 package:

Here is the output when building the glib2 package (configure + make):

I am reading Sams Teach Yourself SQL in one hour a day. In this book they work with both Oracle and MySQL to teach you SQL. So I installed mysql on my box and I am creating the empty database they use in this book so I can follow along as I read. I have noticed a few typos in the book and now I have noticed some code errors too. I just don't know enough to fix em. I am working on creating the empty database and I am getting syntax errors when I create certain tables. I have checked both the printed version of the book and the electronic version (which differ slightly) and both give me the same synatax errors. First is Creating the first table of the database. Here is the code given to me to enter. The Electronic version

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.

this might be an interesting one for the bash scripting gurus. I seem to break my teeth on it. The mission:- do a dd over ssh to trasnfer an image to another host- capture the dd PID on the other side- send a USR1 kill signal to it- capture that output on the original host It goes wrong on the last part. This is what I have before that step:dd if=image.gz | gzip -d | ssh host2 "dd of=/dev/vg1/lv1" &PID=`ssh host2 ps aux |grep dd|grep lx05|awk '{ print $2 }'`when I do "ssh host2 kill -USR1 $PIDI get nice outputs to the screen. When I replace the first line with:dd if=image.gz | gzip -d | ssh host2 "dd of=/dev/vg1/l01 2>/tmp/output.txt" &the dd command seemd to die. I suspect a problem with the pipe, since this does work when executing locally on a host without piping.

[ -e FILE ]True if FILE exists.

In a bash script brought over from a Debian/Lenny system, Ubuntu 10.04 stumbles on the left parenthesis in the expression below:NEED_COLS=$[($HEX_WIDTH * 4) + 12]Is it an Ubuntu/Debian script style mismatch, or just post-Lenny? If that can be answered, is there a way to reconcile or syntax check older scripts?
