Hi guys, hope you scripting gurus here can help me out, the logic in my script somehow not working the way it should, this script part of a bigger backup script suppose to do some checking on the cluster prior to bringing up the package on MC/SG after backend cloning operation, this portion is suppose to check switching parameter if it is disabled, if so then turn it on with command "cmmodpkg -v -e -n hostname package_name", somehow it's not working.


when I run it the output is like this
# ./ccc
enabled <<<--- from echo $PRISTAT
cmmodpkg -v -e -n PRIMARY PACKAGE_NAME <<<--- this is wrong output
enabled <<<-- from echo $SECSTAT
cmmodpkg -v -e -n SECONDARY PACKAGE_NAME <<< -- this also wrong output

which is wrong.

the output from cmviewcl
# /usr/sbin/cmviewcl -v | grep -i current | awk '{ print $3 }'
enabled

# /usr/sbin/cmviewcl -v | grep -i alterna | awk '{ print $3 }'
enabled

can somebody pls help me.

Just to make sure, put double brackets around the if tests and write it like following:
Also you can have a " | od -c " following up to the echo on $PRISTAT to make sure there aren't any other characters in there.

wow zaxx, solid man! makes a lot of difference

# ./ccc
switching mode on Primary is already enabled
switching mode on Secondary is already enabled


one thing tho just for me to understand,

what's the difference between the statement

[ $STAT2="running" ]


[[ $PRISTAT != "enabled" ]]

Both are working, my question is does the space around the = makes any difference?

To be honest I don't know nor didn't try out. I always have a blank on each side of the testing operator/sign for better readability.
