problem in exit in same shell with echo
Hello All,

I am in SunOS usvh3eudv80 5.10. facing problem in my script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
var1=`date +"%m%d%H%M"%S.zip`
 
echo " Hi your current dir is :---> $(pwd)";echo " Changing to home dir:"
 
cd ~ 2>/dev/null || {echo "Change dir failed ....Quiting...." && exit 2 }; ls -lrt
 
echo "..... APPLICATION logs....."

Here I want to check if cd fails then echo the msg and exit the script. But when I try to group with { } it says :

Hi your current dir is :---> /home/tomcat1/Release_Inte
Changing to home dir:
./appslogs_bks.sh: line 9: syntax error: unexpected end of file

When i use () then it is not exiting as it executes in subshell.

How to exit in same shell. Pls let me know if I am not clear ..

Thanks
Krsna..

Why not just use a simple test?

Code:
#!/bin/bash
var1=`date +"%m%d%H%M"%S.zip`

echo " Hi your current dir is :---> $PWD"
echo " Changing to home dir:"

cd ~ 2>/dev/null
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "Change dir failed ....Quiting...."
  exit 2
fi

ls -lrt

echo "..... APPLICATION logs....."

Or try like this:

Code:
cd ~ 2>/dev/null || { echo "Change dir failed ....Quiting....";exit 2; };ls -lrt

Hi Scott,

Thanks, I knew that but just what to write in one line ....

Hi Elixir,
Smilie
Your solution is pefect working fine. But wanted to know is any way to execute such command in same current shell. I thought just by grouping by {} it will do..

Thanks
Krsna...
