Static variable in shell
Hi All,
I want a static variable in shell script.
I have a script in which I want to send mail on certain condition and it happens that when that condition is met it start mailing as i have set my cron job to execute every 15 mins.
And what i want is to run that script after every 15 mins and send mail only for 10 time and then stop for the day.
What i plan to do is I will have a variable (static) that will keep track of this count that how many times mail has been sent already and then stop and start again next day for which i think i will use date or time as a parameter.
Please suggest me or propose a better solution.
I am not interested in autosys job although.
Thankyou
Yagami

Hi,
Where are the static variables actually stored in memory. Is it in .bss? In that case how is its storage different from global variables? From the ELF data is it possible to see the storage of different variables used in the program?
eg:

int gtemp1;

atf-sh
ATF-SH(1) BSD General Commands Manual ATF-SH(1)
NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs
SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script
DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library.
atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter-
preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not
use any non-standard extensions.
The following options are available:
-s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL.
ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a
specific interpreter.
EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with:
#! /usr/bin/env atf-sh
Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode
the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter:
#! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash
ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.
