shell script to remove old files and write to a log file
Hi,
I have a script that works on a unix box but am trying to get it working on a linux box that uses shell. I am not a programmer so this is proving harder than I imagined. I made some changes and ended up with the script below but when I run it I get the following messages. Any help would be great. messages ./cleanoldbackups.sh: line 18: syntax error near unexpected token `fi' ./cleanoldbackups.sh: line 18: `fi ' script # ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2>&1 # ----------------------------------------------------------------------- # Check run type - r report, d delete # ----------------------------------------------------------------------- set RUN_TYPE= $1 if [! [$RUN_TYPE == 'r' || $RUN_TYPE == 'd']] then echo "Invalid parameter" $RUN_TYPE exit fi # # ----------------------------------------------------------------------- # Set local variables # ----------------------------------------------------------------------- set LOGFILE= /exlibris/dtl/d3_1/log/cleanoldbackups.log.`date '+%Y%m%d_%H%M%S'` # ----------------------------------------------------------------------- # Switch to backup directory. Find and report/delete files # ----------------------------------------------------------------------- cd /directory/backup #switch $RUN_TYPE case r find . -atime +8 | sort | xargs ls -l >>$LOGFILE breaksw case d find . -atime +8 -exec rm {} \; >>$LOGFILE esac |

I think missing a semicolon
Try:
if [! [$RUN_TYPE == 'r' || $RUN_TYPE == 'd']] ; then Also, I am a little concerned about the spacing. In the future, post code with codetags. If you highlight your pasted code text, and then click on the pound # sign above, the forum will maintain your spacing. |
