Hi!
I am trying to write a little script here, which would take input from the user and store them in arrays. But the array part is not working for some reason.
Can anyone help please.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
##Take input from the user
while [ host_name != "."]
do
echo "Please enter the host_name"
read host_name
echo "host_name is $host_name"
store_hostname[$c]=$host_name
c=$(( c + 1 ))
echo "Please enter the username"
read username
echo $username
store_username[$d]=$username
d=$(( d + 1 ))
echo "Please enter the password"
read password
echo $password
store_password[$e]=$password
e=$(( e + 1 ))
done
#Create a destination directory
ssh $store_host_name[c] mkdir temp
#scp files to host
scp -r /root/temp $store_username[c]@$store_host_name[c]:/root/
Hi!
Thanks for your comments. I implemented your suggestions, but it's giving me the following error.
Code:
[root@iqmango nua7]# sh testing.sh
testing.sh: line 4: [: missing `]'
ssh: mkdir: Name or service not known
ssh: : Name or service not known
lost connection
I also tried following things on the while loop, but the same syntax error:
Any idea..?
Hi!
since this is my first script using arrays and user input, I am facing too many problems.
In the script below, even if I enter "done" as a hostname , it still continues to go further and ask username and password.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
##Take input from the user
c=d=e=0
while [ "$host_name" != done ]
do
echo "Please enter the host_name"
read host_name
store_hostname[$c]=$host_name
c=$(( c + 1 ))
echo "Please enter the username"
read username
echo $username
store_username[$d]=$username
d=$(( d + 1 ))
echo "Please enter the password"
read password
echo $password
store_password[$e]=$password
e=$(( e + 1 ))
done
for i in c
do
#Create a destination directory
ssh -q ${store_username[$d]}@${store_host_name[$c]} mkdir temp
#scp files to host
scp -r /root/temp ${store_username[$c]}@${store_host_name[$c]}:/root/
done
