By the way, wouldn't it be more readable to write the loop as

Code:

while [[ "`cat svn.txt`" -eq "$pname" ]]
do
...
done

well it gave me the same error. I will post my script, not because I want you to solve it for me but because I already trying this since last week and as a new guy where I need a lot of help
__________________________________________

Code:


#!/bin/sh

user=`whoami`
pname="svn `whoami`"
var=0

LOGFILE=`mktemp -t svn_checkout.XXXXXX`
ICONPATH="`dirname $0`/svn.xpm"
list=`ssh $user@192.168.1.3 "ls /esp-server/svn"`
URL=`zenity --entry --title="Subversion: Checkout" --text="$list

Enter repository folder according to the the aboves:" --entry-text="" --width=400 --window-icon="$ICONPATH" 2>&1`

#So until where is everything ok and my script work as I want. The problem was when #I wanted to add a progress bar to my script

if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
  svn checkout svn+ssh://$user@192.168.1.3/esp-server/svn/$URL &> $LOGFILE & pid1=$!
  zenity --progress --pulsate --auto-kill & pid2=$!
  
  while [ $var -lt 1 ]
  do
    ps aux | awk '{ print $11 " " $1 }' | grep svn > svn.txt    
    
#until where is also ok

    infile=`cat svn.txt`
    echo $infile
    until [[ "`cat svn.txt`" -eq "$pname" ]]
    do
#then when it enters where I'm not sure if it works. Like, I know it goes inside the until #because the echo in the next lines are "echoed", but the until never stops and thats #very confusing because my condition is until "`cat svn.txt`" -eq "$pname" and after the svn command is done, the svn.txt is empty and so 
#[["`cat svn.txt`" -eq "$pname" ]] is true and so should go out from the until
    echo $infile
    echo $pname
    
    ps aux | awk '{ print $11 " " $1 }' | grep svn > svn.txt ;
    
    
    done

    $var=2   #this is for exit the while 
    kill $pid2 # and this to kill the progress bar
    
      
    
  done
  rm -f svn.txt
  rm -f $LOGFILE

fi

and by the way, my verbose says error line 44 which is the last if. why

Please help
thanks in advance

svnpath

SVNPATH(1)                                                                                                                              SVNPATH(1)

NAME

       svnpath - output svn url with support for tags and branches

SYNOPSIS

       svnpath

       svnpath tags

       svnpath branches

       svnpath trunk

DESCRIPTION

       svnpath is intended to be run in a Subversion working copy.

       In its simplest usage, svnpath with no parameters outputs the svn url for the repository associated with the working copy.

       If a parameter is given, svnpath attempts to instead output the url that would be used for the tags, branches, or trunk. This will only
       work if it's run in the top-level directory that is subject to tagging or branching.

       For example, if you want to tag what's checked into Subversion as version 1.0, you could use a command like this:

         svn cp $(svnpath) $(svnpath tags)/1.0

       That's much easier than using svn info to look up the repository url and manually modifying it to derive the url to use for the tag, and
       typing in something like this:

         svn cp svn+ssh://my.server.example/svn/project/trunk svn+ssh://my.server.example/svn/project/tags/1.0

       svnpath uses a simple heuristic to convert between the trunk, tags, and branches paths. It replaces the first occurrence of trunk, tags, or
       branches with the name of what you're looking for. This will work ok for most typical Subversion repository layouts.

       If you have an atypical layout and it does not work, you can add a ~/.svnpath file. This file is perl code, which can modify the path in
       $url.  For example, the author uses this file:

        #!/usr/bin/perl
        # svnpath personal override file

        # For d-i I sometimes work from a full d-i tree branch. Remove that from
        # the path to get regular tags or branches directories.
        $url=~s!d-i/(rc|beta)[0-9]+/!!;
        $url=~s!d-i/sarge/!!;
