Script error

Katkota · #1 (**permalink**) 01-22-2008

folks;

I wrote this script for our Solaris 10 to restart an application we have on reboot, but every time i run this script to test i get this message:

then: then/endif not found
Would any one help with that?
thanks in advance

Here's the script:

#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 3 60 30
# description: Starts and stops application

mode=$1

TOMCAT_HOME=/opt/abc/apps
CATALINA_HOME=/opt/abc/apps
JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk1.5.0_08
export TOMCAT_HOME CATALINA_HOME JAVA_HOME

case "$mode" in
'start')
# Start daemon
su - devuser -c "$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh $mode"
;;

'stop')
# Stop daemon. We use a signal here to avoid having to know the
# root password.
$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh $mode
;;

*)
# usage
echo "usage: $0 start|stop"
exit 1
;;
esac

you are probably getting the error from catalina.sh, not the startup script.

But i didn't touch the script

..yeah, but you are calling it.

Let's say I have a script called tester that calls a script named script2...

Code:

# cat tester

/opt/script2

#

Now, script2 has a syntax error; in this case, ommited the "fi" at the end of it.

Code:

# cat /opt/script2

COUNT=0
if (( ${COUNT} < 3 )); then
echo "is bigger"
else

#

If I run tester, I get:

Code:

# ./tester

/opt/script2[2]: syntax error at line 4 : `else' unmatched

#

I don't see an if/then statement in your script, so it must be from catalina.sh, or something else catalina.sh is calling.
