Hello, I have been working on a what I thought was a fairly simple script for installing a software kit on Linux and Unix
I am not new to scripting but am far from being fluent in sh scripting.
any assistance would be appreciated.
I have an odd bug occuring when executing the script.
When executing the script in Interactive mode
A series of questions are asked. then verified.
If you run the script and do not choose to use the default directory for install.
for example:
the question asked is
Where would you like to install the software? The default is : [ /tmp/username ]" type /bin and press enter here
then when asked if you are sure you want to use /bin select N for NO
then change it to /var or any other dir.
then proceed by selecting Y
you will then be told that you have http alreayd running...( this is hardcoded with no checks yet. It is a concept)
choose Y or N
the script should proceed.
Where I am seeing a problem is I get asked the question about http Twice ....Only when I change the default directory twice or more
any idea how to prevent this ?
better yet Can you explain Why it is doing this so I can prevent this from happening with other scripts ?
The code below does not install anything ...it simply generates a log file at this time.
Thanks again for any assistance with this bug.

Is it normal behavior for a shell script that terminates to terminate its parent shell when executed with the "." option?
For example, if I have the example script (we'll name it ex.sh):
#!/bin/sh
if
then
echo "Bye."
exit 2

And I execute it like this:

Hi folks,
So I wrote a script to run "top", "awk" out values fro the "top" and send the results to a data file.
I then set it to run in cron every 15 minutes.
Now I'm noticing that the script, and it's sub-commands are not always cleanly finishing and, in my investigations, I am also... (11 Replies)
