Shell Programming and Scripting

normally when i type:
condor_q | tail -1
command line returns:
0 jobs; 0 idle, 0 running, 0 held

I want use the number in front of 'running' in a series of equality tests to submit more jobs when my queue gets low. Someone showed me how to do it a few days ago by setting an array equal to the command. I thought it was:

#!/bin/csh
#
set qu = ( condor_q | tail -1 )


But this is not working..... any ideas?

i think may be use
set qu=($(condor_q|tail -1))

i test the statement in bash:

Code:

$ ls
a.sh                    hsperfdata_root         https-admserv-9d93b4d6

Code:

$ arr=( $(ls))
$ echo ${#arr[@]}
3
$echo ${arr[0]}
a.sh

That one returns:

Illegal variable name.

Try this:

Code:

qu=`condor_q | tail -1 | cut -d" " -f 5`

or

Code:

qu=`condor_q | tail -1 | awk '{print $5}'`

they both work... thank you very much
