Thanks

Hi Guru,

Thanks for your response.

From your suggestion, that means I've made the wrong assumption that the exit command will exit out of the script.

BTW, is my checking under case correct though, i.e. the Y|YES thingy?

I put some echo line for testing and am expecting the echo of ${v_database_set} should show whatever I enter when prompted by the read v_database_set line. How come that does not seem to be the case? That is, the value of v_database_set is null/empty? Am expecting it should show Y, N or whatever I enter when prompted by the read command. It seemed like the variable is local to check_argument, is that how it is supposed to be?

Output from running the script:

Code:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+

Start running <- x ->
DATE : Mon May  3 16:25:52 EST 2010


+----------------------------------------------+
 Database running on vinhns-nwp01 :
 DATE : Mon May  3 16:25:52 EST 2010
+----------------------------------------------+

Or you set on the current database to check [Y/N] ??? x

v_database_set --> X ...
Invalid answer !!! Exiting ...


+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
Search and remove tmp files on /oracle/BIP/102_64/OZONE/scripts/sql ...
         /oracle/BIP/102_64/OZONE/scripts/sql
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+

ls: x.tmp.*: No such file or directory

Check the report file -> x.report

v_database_set -->  ...

Running report_01 ...


Running report_02 ...


+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
Search and remove tmp files on /oracle/BIP/102_64/OZONE/scripts/sql ...
         /oracle/BIP/102_64/OZONE/scripts/sql
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+

ls: x.tmp.*: No such file or directory

Check the report file -> x.report



Echo placed on the script:


Code:
########################
# SUB : check_argument #
########################
check_argument()
{
   echo "+----------------------------------------------+"
   echo " Database running on `hostname` :"
   echo " DATE : `date`"
   echo "+----------------------------------------------+"

   echo ""
   echo "Or you set on the current database to check [Y/N] ??? \c"
   read v_database_set
   echo ""
   v_database_set=`echo ${v_database_set} | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]`

  echo "v_database_set --> ${v_database_set} ..."
   case ${v_database_set} in
      Y|YES) v_db=$ORACLE_SID
             echo ""



......
......
......

########
# MAIN #
########

on_start                | tee -a ${this_report}
check_argument  | tee -a ${this_report}

echo "v_database_set --> ${v_database_set} ..."
sleep 5

report_01               | tee -a ${this_report}
report_02               | tee -a ${this_report}

on_exit                 | tee -a ${this_report}
