I'm having an infuriating issue with number comparison. Basically I've written a script that runs in cygwin that SSH's to 4 servers, figures out a success percentage and if it is less than a certain point, triggers an alarm. I've managed to get it to connect to the servers, figure out the percentage and create the if statements. Unfortunately what should be the easiest part, comparing the numbers is driving me crazy.
Here is the script (i've added the part about printing the variables to help debug):
The script runs without throwing an errors, but the logic doesn't work. If the current number is below 97 it does set off the alarm, but it also sets off the alarm if the percentage is 100 or higher. At first I thought it was something to do with the script only understanding integers, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I've tried every combination of single ([) brackets and double ([[) brackets I can think of and still getting the same thing. I've also tried quoting and not quoting the variables, but still the same errors.
I know that this is going to be something stupid...but I'm pulling my proverbial hair out here...
I use standard C random number generation logic in my application.
long nCounter;
long lRndNo;
char rand;
srand48(nCounter);
lRndNo = lrand48();
sprintf(rand,"%010.10d",lRndNo);
However we always find that the rand generated starts with '0','1' or '2'. I could not logically prove if... (1 Reply)

Hi,
I was trying to do a string comparison using if. However, the comparison result is getting treated as a executable statement. I'm not sure where I'm making the mistake!

Any help is appreciated! (3 Replies)

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.
