Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Is there a simpler way to achieve this? Post 302416020 by Scrutinizer on Saturday 24th of April 2010 11:21:17 AM

Or something like this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
queryFQDN()
{
  printf "What is the Fully Qualified Domain Name?\n"
  read FQDN
  ! [ -e "/etc/httpd/sites-enabled/$FQDN" ]
}
until queryFQDN; do
  printf "FQDN already exists.\nYou will have to choose another value.\n"
done

Which could be reduced to something like this without a function:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
while : ; do
  printf "What is the Fully Qualified Domain Name?\n"
  read FQDN
  [ -e "/etc/httpd/sites-enabled/$FQDN" ] || exit 0
  printf "FQDN already exists.\nYou will have to choose another value.\n"
done
