Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi ,

I am an Oracle developer. trying to write a shell script to compile all the forms that are modified in last 1 hour.

Script Body

Code:

cat cmp.sh
for f in `find ./*fmb* -mmin -60`; do "`frmcmp_batch.sh userid=ba/ba@testdb batch=yes module=$f module_type=form compile_all=yes window_state=minimize`"; done
for f in `find ./*err* -mmin -60`; do "`tail -1 $f`"; done

This is what I am trying to do in script above.

1. Search all the forms (*.fmb) in current directory that are modified in last 1 hour.
2. Compile forms from step 1 using forms compiler utility script frmcmp_batch.sh.
3. Print the last line of corresponding .err file created after compilation of each form.

Though the script runs as expected and compiles forms but it also gives error messages like

Code:

./cmp.sh
./cmp.sh: line 1: : command not found
./cmp.sh: line 2: Created form file ./test.fmx: No such file or directory

Note: Text Created form file ./test.fmx is output of tail command.

Please let me know the reason for command not found and No such file or directory errors.

Thanks,
Imran.

Moved script to a better suited forum

"command substitution" ($(...) or (deprecated) `...`) allows the output of a command to replace the command name. (c.f. man bash)
I guess frmcmp.batch.sh doesn't produce any output on stdout, so the do loop tries to run an empty command resulting in the first error message. Same for the second - tries to run "Created form file ./test.fmx" which cannot be found.

Remove double quotes and backticks and try again.
