Append Status to echo'd line after process completes

Setan · #1 (**permalink**) 01-25-2008

Hello All,

I'm very new to scripting and I'm writing a very simple script to restart a couple processes because I'm getting to lazy to cd between directories.

This is pretty much my first script and I just want to add a little cosmetics to it.

Here's what I have:

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
echo 'Stopping digital processes...'
/usr/local/xgate.ment/xgate.ment stop
/usr/local/xgate.liver/xgate.liver stop

echo 'Starting digital processes...'
/usr/local/xgate.ment/xgate.ment start
/usr/local/xgate.liver/xgate.liver start

point xgate

I'd like to add something that will append the word "Stopped" to 'Stopping digital processes...', when the two processes are stopped, but display it on the same line, so I don't have two lines like the following:

Stopping digital processes...
Stopping digital processes...Stopped

Is there a way to do this.
