Hi Folks,
New member here. I have been using UNIX systems for the past ~4 years (Linux, AIX, HP-UX, mostly) but have never had the need to write a script for myself. Now, things have changed and I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have, what looks to me like a syntactically correct script that's not quite working exactly as I'd hoped. It's for the BASH shell. Here's where it's failing:
Code:
i=0
while [ $i -lt $count ]
do
trap "ctrlc" SIGINT SIGTERM
if [ "$i" -eq 0 ]; then
date > new && ps -o user,pid,command | grep $PATTERN | grep -v ps >> new
cat new
else
mv new old
date > new && ps -o user,pid,command | grep $PATTERN | grep -v ps >> new
diffProc()
fi
i=$(($i+1))
echo
sleep 10
done
The error I'm getting is:
Quote:
line 62: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
line 62: ` fi'
|
Line 62 is the 'fi' following the call to diffProc(). I've looked at several BASH tutorials and the if statement here seems to be well-formed. I've turned on debugging but that doesn't really say much more than the error, except for the values of some variables. Any assistance you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
