Friday afternoon headache

Hi all,

It's been a long week and my brain is clearly not functioning right so hopefully someone can help me out here.

I've got a function in a script which just checks if a MySQL database directory exists or not. Code is as follows:

Code:
dbCheck2() {
if [ -d '/var/lib/mysql/$IPdb' ];
then {
	:
             # carry on in parent script
}
else {
	echo "No Valid Database specified. Please try again."
	some_other_function
}
fi
}

For arguments sake let the variable IPdb = test as this value is coming from another function. Now even when the directory /var/lib/mysql/test exists it still displays the else statement.

Can someone put me out of my misery and tell me what's wrong?

Thanks!

OCF_HEARTBEAT_MYSQL(7)						OCF resource agents					    OCF_HEARTBEAT_MYSQL(7)

NAME
ocf_heartbeat_mysql - Manages a MySQL database instance SYNOPSIS
mysql [start | stop | status | monitor | promote | demote | notify | validate-all | meta-data] DESCRIPTION
Resource script for MySQL. May manage a standalone MySQL database, a clone set with externally managed replication, or a complete master/slave replication setup. SUPPORTED PARAMETERS
binary Location of the MySQL server binary (optional, string, default /usr/bin/mysqld_safe) client_binary Location of the MySQL client binary (optional, string, default mysql) config Configuration file (optional, string, default /etc/my.cnf) datadir Directory containing databases (optional, string, default /var/lib/mysql) user User running MySQL daemon (optional, string, default mysql) group Group running MySQL daemon (for logfile and directory permissions) (optional, string, default mysql) log The logfile to be used for mysqld. (optional, string, default /var/log/mysqld.log) pid The pidfile to be used for mysqld. (optional, string, default /var/lib/mysql/mysqld.pid) socket The socket to be used for mysqld. (optional, string, default /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock) test_table Table to be tested in monitor statement (in database.table notation) (optional, string, default mysql.user) test_user MySQL test user (optional, string, default root) test_passwd MySQL test user password (optional, string, no default) enable_creation If the MySQL database does not exist, it will be created (optional, integer, default 0) additional_parameters Additional parameters which are passed to the mysqld on startup. (e.g. --skip-external-locking or --skip-grant-tables) (optional, string, no default) replication_user MySQL replication user. This user is used for starting and stopping MySQL replication, for setting and resetting the master host, and for setting and unsetting read-only mode. Because of that, this user must have SUPER, REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT, and PROCESS privileges on all nodes within the cluster. (optional, string, no default) replication_passwd MySQL replication password. Used for replication client and slave. (optional, string, no default) replication_port The port on which the Master MySQL instance is listening. (optional, string, default 3306) max_slave_lag The maximum number of seconds a replication slave is allowed to lag behind its master. Do not set this to zero. What the cluster manager does in case a slave exceeds this maximum lag is determined by the evict_outdated_slaves parameter. (optional, integer, default 3600) evict_outdated_slaves If set to true, any slave which is more than max_slave_lag seconds behind the master has its MySQL instance shut down. If this parameter is set to false in a primitive or clone resource, it is simply ignored. If set to false in a master/slave resource, then exceeding the maximum slave lag will merely push down the master preference so the lagging slave is never promoted to the new master. (optional, boolean, default false) SUPPORTED ACTIONS
This resource agent supports the following actions (operations): start Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 120. stop Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 120. status Performs a status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 60. monitor Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 30. Suggested interval: 10. promote Promotes the resource to the Master role. Suggested minimum timeout: 120. demote Demotes the resource to the Slave role. Suggested minimum timeout: 120. notify Suggested minimum timeout: 90. validate-all Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 5. meta-data Retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5. EXAMPLE
The following is an example configuration for a mysql resource using the crm(8) shell: primitive example_mysql ocf:heartbeat:mysql op monitor depth="0" timeout="30" interval="10" SEE ALSO
