Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Can $? return multiple values? Post 302417414 by laloo on Thursday 29th of April 2010 01:38:55 PM

Thanks for your comments. Smilie

The script is about 1800 lines large. It does call another script to run in the background using:

Code:
nohup setup.sh & 2> /dev/null

and then proceeds to do some work. This setup script is much smaller,though. And the line number for which the error is shown is much greater than the number of lines in setup.sh.

Here are the relevant parts of the script which actually gets the error:

Code:
        get_info.sh $ip key1 `cat /var/t` >& /dev/null
        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
            echo "could not connect"
        else
            echo "done"
        fi

NAME
tgt-setup-lun - creates a target, adds a device to the target and defines initiators that can connect to the target SYNOPSIS
tgt-setup-lun -d device -n target_name [initiator_IP1 initiator_IP2 ...] [-h] DESCRIPTION
Starts tgtd if necessary and creates a target according to the supplied target_name. The format of the target name is as follows: iqn.2001-04.com.<hostname>-<target_name> The target name must be unique. The script then adds the requested device to the target. If specific IP addresses are defined, it adds them to the list of allowed initia- tors for that target. If no IP addresses is defined, it defines that the target accepts any initiator. EXAMPLES
Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections only from 192.168.10.81: tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target 192.168.10.81 Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections only from 192.168.10.81 and 192.168.10.82: tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target 192.168.10.81 192.168.10.82 Create a target that uses /dev/sdb1 and allows connections from any initiator: tgt-setup-lun -d /dev/sdb1 -n my_target Display help: tgt-setup-lun -h AUTHOR
