problem redirecting output of command to variable
Hi. I'm a newbie in scripting and i have this problem: i want to use the 'fuser' command on a file to tell if it's being accessed (for my purposes: still being written). I want to save the output of the command and later compare with the 'not being used' result.
the script:
#!/bin/bash
TATA='ii'
echo 'TATA before: '$TATA
TATA=`fuser LockedFiles/deals.csv`
echo 'TATA after: '$TATA
However, the result of the above code is:
-bash-3.00$ script.sh
TATA before: ii
LockedFiles/deals.csv:
TATA after:
So the output of the command is not going to the variable but to the screen (altough the variable value is erased) and I can't figure out why! Can you help me?
Thanks,
Nuno

GLAM2(1) glam2 Manual GLAM2(1)
NAME
glam2 - Gapped Local Alignment of Motifs
SYNOPSIS
glam2 [options] alphabet my_seqs.fa
An alphabet other than p or n is interpreted as the name of an alphabet file.
DESCRIPTION
GLAM2 is a software package for finding motifs in sequences, typically amino-acid or nucleotide sequences. A motif is a re-occurring
sequence pattern: typical examples are the TATA box and the CAAX prenylation motif. The main innovation of GLAM2 is that it allows
insertions and deletions in motifs.
OPTIONS (DEFAULT SETTINGS)
-h
Show all options and their default settings.
-o
Output file (stdout).
-r
Number of alignment runs (10).
-n
End each run after this many iterations without improvement (10000).
-2
Examine both strands - forward and reverse complement.
-z
Minimum number of sequences in the alignment (2).
-a
Minimum number of aligned columns (2).
-b
Maximum number of aligned columns (50).
-w
Initial number of aligned columns (20).
-d
Dirichlet mixture file.
-D
Deletion pseudocount (0.1).
-E
No-deletion pseudocount (2.0).
-I
Insertion pseudocount (0.02).
-J
No-insertion pseudocount (1.0).
-q
Weight for generic versus sequence-set-specific residue abundances (1e+99).
-t
Initial temperature (1.2).
-c
Cooling factor per n iterations (1.44).
-u
Temperature lower bound (0.1).
-p
Print progress information at each iteration.
-m
Column-sampling moves per site-sampling move (1.0).
-x
Site sampling algorithm: 0=FAST 1=SLOW 2=FFT (0).
-s
Seed for pseudo-random numbers (1).
