Full Discussion: du from list with du of list total
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting du from list with du of list total Post 302191376 by Movomito on Friday 2nd of May 2008 10:52:43 AM
Old 05-02-2008
First off I am home taught so it may be that there is something that i am missing here. If i don't first run an exec how can i "read line" from workslist? But i did see what it was attempting and kept my execs and wrote the body of m script like this:

exec 3<&0
exec 0<$WORKLIST
while read line
do


echo $line
usage=`du -hs /Volumes/image/$line | awk -F/ '{print $1}'`
total_usage=`expr $total_usage + $usage`
echo $usage

#echo $line
#du -hs /Volumes/image/$line | awk -F/ '{print $1}'

done
exec 0<&3


and i got this error:

W00EGS1017426(this is the dir name)
expr: syntax error
3.2G(this is the individual directories size)

as you can see i am still getting the individual size output.

Thanks for the help, maybe you can make more sense of this than I can.

parse_dynamic_clustertoc

parse_dynamic_clustertoc(1M)                              System Administration Commands                              parse_dynamic_clustertoc(1M)

NAME

       parse_dynamic_clustertoc - parse clustertoc file based on dynamic entries

SYNOPSIS

       cdrom/export/exec/sparc.Solaris_2.x/sbin/install.d/parse_dynamic_clustertoc

       cdrom/export/exec/i386.Solaris_2.x/sbin/install.d/parse_dynamic_clustertoc

DESCRIPTION

       This script parses the  clustertoc file before the suninstall(1M) process is run.  parse_dynamic_clustertoc is called by a modified syscon-
       fig script on the install CD.  When parse_dynamic_clustertoc runs, it reads the clustertoc and when it encounters SUNW_CSRMBRIFF lines,  it
       either  checks  the  platform  using the script's builtin function, or calls an external script.  The script exits with  a 0 if the cluster
       entry is included,  otherwise it will be ignored.  If the cluster entry is to be included, the SUNW_CSRMBRIFF =(test test_arg)cluster  line
       is converted to SUNW_CSRMEMBER =cluster.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Checking For an SX Framebuffer

       The  following is an example of a simple external test to check for an SX Framebuffer.  The entry in the  clustertoc file is shown and fol-
       lowing that is the script that must be placed in the  install.d/dynamic_test directory.

       SUNW_CSRMBRIFF=(smcc.dctoc sx)SUNWCsx
       #! /bin/sh
       #
       # Likewise, this file is expected to live under $(TESTDIR).
       #
       case "$1"
       in
               sx)     prtconf -p  | grep 'SUNW,sx' 1> /dev/null;;
       esac
