Need help with oracle backup script

I have written a script to perfrom a cold backup on an oracle database. The script is failing everytime. Can anyone tell me what (stupid) error I am making.

The output from the uname command follows

Linux rayora 2.2.14-6.1.1smp #1 SMP Thu Apr 13 19:55:55 EDT 2000 i686 unknown


The error that I am getting on my script is:

Oracle Server Manager Release 3.1.7.0.0 - Production

Copyright (c) 1997, 1999, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.1 - Production

JServer Release 8.1.7.0.1 - Production

SVRMGR> Connected.

Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SVRMGR> Server Manager complete.
/home/rf/bin/oracle_backup.sh: /home/rf/bin/oracle_backup.sh: line 53: syntax error: unexpected end of file



The script that I wrote follows:

You failed in the "EOT" after the "shutdown immediate" :
svrmgrl <<EOT
connect internal
shutdown immediate
quit
EOT

Check if there is a space after "EOT".
I also failed in the past due to blank space after EOT sign.

I checked the script on the server and there are no spaces on the "EOT" line, either before or after the EOT. However there was a blank space after the "quit" on the previous line, will this cause problems?

Maybe....
You don't need the "quit" at all.
The EOT exits you from sqlplus/svrmgrl

Nir

I have tried it with and without the quit

Your script shows whitespace before EOT which needs to be removed. You indicated that you checked the script on the server but you CODE example shows whitespace. Recheck this since it will hork you up.

I agree with tmarikle.
The EOT must be in the beginning of the line. Otherwise,you'll get syntax errors.
