Jun 10, 2010I am running a command pretty similar to the one below:
Code:
I need to capture the exit status of that part of the command.

However, no matter what I set "status" to in my_job.sh, it exits with "0".
What can I do differently?

Programming :: Bash - Ps - Psgrep And Read /proc/$pid Make Script Exit
Mar 22, 2011I have not been able to write bash to use a PID file to ensure no other instance of the same script is running! All three methods I can think of to see if the PID in the PID file is another instance of the script make the script exit with a return code of 1 but the same commands run at the command prompt work as expected.
The first attempt was:
Code:
The first attempted workaround was:
Code:
The second attempted workaround (with debug to make the following command prompt copy and paste meaningful) was:
Code:
Here's the command prompt session, testing with a stale PID file and then manually running the problem command and it behaving as expected:
Code:
This on Slackware64 13.1 which has bash 4.1.7.
In desperation I tried rebooting but the behaviour was the same.
Programming :: Get Bash Script Using Zentity To Exit If The User Presses The Cancel Or Close Buttons?

Programming :: Using The Process Status (ps) Command In A Bash Script?
May 27, 2009I am new to scripting and been working on this bash script for awhile now. I been researching this problem, but I can't seem to find a solution. I was wondering if someone could please help me out. Here is my script:
#!/bin/bash
NO="ps -ef | grep NO | grep -v grep"
NOWC=`ps -ef | grep NO | grep -v grep | wc -l`
[code].....
I cannot get this script to run the "ps -ef" command on the client. It get its value from the host machine that I am running this script from. I need this command to execute on the client. When I run the command (ps -ef | grep NO | grep -v grep) on the client, I get something back. Here is what I get when I try to debug the script.
XX# ./test_ps5.sh XXXXX
+ NO='ps -ef | grep NO | grep -v grep'
++ ps -ef

Programming :: Exit In Script Files Cause Konsole Terminal Itself To Exit?
Apr 11, 2010I noticed that if I have "exit" in a bash script file., e.g. script.sh,that when the word "exit" is reached, and the script file being executed is not in the PATH nvironment, i.e. ". script.sh", the whole konsole shell profile is exited! What gives here? Is there another command compatible to "exit" to prevent this, or will I just have the leave the "." part in the PATH enviroment, which is, to my understanding, is not recommended? I desire for a "goto" function in bash script files

Programming :: Why New Threads Exit When Main Thread Exit
May 22, 2010In linux, creating thread is same as process (clone()), except the virtual address space gets shared with the parent.If a running main process(thread) creates new thread, and if main thread exits, why should the new thread too exit? both are different entities, The same doesn't happen if the child thread exits, the parent thread would be alive.

Fedora :: Echo Exit Status After Command Is Run In Terminal?
Feb 19, 2010command will just execute and exit with a status of "0" -"Every command returns an exit status (sometimes referred to as a return status ). A successful command returns a 0, while an unsuccessful one returns a non-zero value that usually may be interpreted as an error code. Well-behaved UNIX commands, programs, and utilities return a 0 exit code upon successful completion, though there are some exceptions."[URL]With the command . . .
Code:
# dosfsck -v /dev/sdb
it could be very helpful (and decide my next move) to see the exit code as 0, 1, or 2 . the man page suggests the command exit code will specify if the message I get - "Cluster size is zero" (I think it is a "1")is a recoverable or fixable error by the utility. or is non-recoverable - a pretty nifty feature if I understand this right. [URL] is there anything like this script COMMAND_LAST used in the following link. [URL] that can be entered in the terminal window after - or at end of - my dosfsck command or any command. just to see if it has a 0, 1, or 2 status ?
