script that answers y unless output has a string "STRING" in it
Hi all,

I have the following script which I use to chek the output of jobs submitted to a PBS server.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
#recover.sh
#

check()
{
    echo "Do you want to proceed?"
    read answer
    if [ "${answer}" == "y" ] ; then
	echo "... proceeding ..."
    else
	echo "--------- Aborting -----------"
	exit 1
    fi
}


project=$1

echo "Make a recovery def for project: ${project}"
echo "First, look at the project summary."
check

echo "get project summary --project=${project}"
get project summary --project=${project}

echo "Now get the recovery dims."
check

echo "generate strict recovery project --printQuery --project=${project}"
dims=`generate strict recovery project --printQuery --project=${project}`

echo "$dims"
echo "Translate these dims."
check

echo "translate --dims=\"${dims}\""
translate --dims="${dims}"

echo "Create the recovery definition."
check

echo "create definition --group=dzero --defName=recovery_project_${project} --dims=\"${dims}\""
create definition --group=dzero --defName=recovery_project_${project} --dims="${dims}"

echo "Now check the definition."
#check

echo "translate --summaryOnly --dims=\"__set__ recovery_project_${project}\""
translate --summaryOnly --dims="__set__ recovery_project_${project}"

echo "DONE!"
echo "Recovery def: recovery_project_${project}"

Since it needs to be fed with the job id name, and since I have 100s of these failed jobs, I made another script (I am not good at scripting yet) I made this other script:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
for JOBID in `cat jobs.txt`
do
./recover.sh $JOBID

done

where jobs.txt has all the job ids.
Now this is like a semi-automatic script, so to speak, because I have to answer these questions manually through the keyboard.
Most of the time the answer is yes, unless that output of the second check
Code:
get project summary --project=${project}

contains the string "NO FILES TO RECOVER" in this case it should be given a return (enter hit) so that it aborts the current JOBID and falls to the next JOBID in the jobs.txt (which has all the jobs names one jobs id per line)

How may I achieve an automatic yes unless the output contains NO FILES TO RECOVER?

Thanks in advance,

DIAGNOSTICS

NOTES

       projdel deletes a project definition only on the local system. If a network name service such as NIS or LDAP is being  used  to	supplement
       the local /etc/project file with additional entries, projdel cannot change information supplied by the network name service.
