Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I am writing a shell (after 6-7 months)that has to receive text from another shell, check if the first line in the text has a key word and then execute different shell.I could come up with the below program structure, please suggest me if there is a better way to do it or please help me with this script.

More deatails:

Have script1, arg1, Myscript (to be writen), triggerScript

*********
# MyScript, should check for keyword inside the text output from script1 and execute triggerScript

arg1="$1"
script1=/./../script

searchText="`$script1 "arg1"`" (Need to get first line of the text out from script1.)

if [ grep for "Keyword" in $searchText && exists/True] ]
then
./tiggerScript (execute trigger script)
fi
********

so you wanna search the keyword in the o/p of the script??
then redirect the o/p of the script to a variable or to a file(to be safe and more specific result) then grep for that word and rest is as you written

yes i want to search for a keyword. My intention was same but I keep getting errors. So was looking for help

what and where you are getting errors??

My trigger script was not getting executed even though I have a key word, If condition is not proper i guess. Plz suggest a generic If condition for my block of code.

can you post the exact code of yours??

Code:

grep -q "keyword" $search
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
call your script here
fi

this what I wrote, forgive me if there are blunders :-)

Args1="$1"
Args2="$2"
SCRIPT1=/u01/.././script1
searchText="`$SCRIPT1 "$Args1"`" (Here i need to get first line from the script1 output which may have multiple text lines)

if [$searchTest|grep "keyword" >/dev/null] ]
then
/u01/../triggerScript "Arg2"
fi
