Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting syntax error: `$' unexpected Post 302427705 by pseudocoder on Monday 7th of June 2010 02:57:08 PM

First of all I'd like to say, that AFAIK simply setting the SHELL variable does not actually change the current shell.
Code:
[myuser@myhost /]$ echo $0
bash
[myuser@myhost /]$ echo $SHELL
/usr/local/bin/ksh93
[myuser@myhost /]$ SHELL=/bin/sh
[myuser@myhost /]$ echo $SHELL
/bin/sh
[myuser@myhost /]$ echo $0
bash
[myuser@myhost /]$ /bin/sh
$ echo $0
/bin/sh
$

Second: AFAIK it's not a good idea to use ls in that manner, why not simply try following:
Code:
for file in *SEBE*

Third: IMHO that basename part it completely unnecessary in this case.

Note Increase the level of verbosity by providing additional instances. --quiet, -Q When doing an attribute query using -G, print just the value to stdout. Use this option with -G. --get-value, -G Retrieve rather than set the preference. --delete-attr, -D Delete rather than set the attribute. --attr-value string, -v string Value to set. This is ignored when used with -G. --node-uuid node_uuid, -u node_uuid Specify the UUID of the node to change. --node-uname node_uname, -U node_uname Specify the uname of the node to change. --set-name string, -s string Specify the set of attributes in which to read or write the attribute. --attr-name string, -n string Specify the attribute to set or query. --type string, -t type Determine to which section of the CIB the attribute should be set or to which section of the CIB the attribute that is queried belongs Possible values are nodes, status, or crm_config.
