I do not know coding all that well but I can hack the hell out of example scripts! I just cant wrap my brain around this one.
Im trying to run two grep statements in the first IF statement and doing an AND between them. Something is going wrong.... Heres a sample of what I would like to do and what I have tried:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if grep --quiet "WORD-IN-FILE" FILE-TO-CHECK && grep --quiet "WORD-IN-FILE" FILE-TO-CHECK; then
echo both conditions are found
fi
Ultimately, im going out to a status web page, bringing down the index.html with WGET, AWKing the hell out of it then SEDing the hell out of the AWKs results and posting them to a new file. Then, I am running this file (above script) against that new file created by the previous script (which i have written already and it works well). The two GREP statements will look inside that new file created and find conditions and if those conditions are met, email me the results. I DO NOT want more than one email unless the status of the original index.html changes, then send me an email that it has changed.
Short Form: If status page shows abnormal status AND an email has not been sent yet, send an email alerting to the abnormal status and quit. Then (when the file is run again, every 15 minutes) if the status is STILL abnormal, know that you already sent an email and quit. If later checking results in NORMAL status, send an email alerting the status change and quit. Then (when the file is run every 15 minutes) is the status is still normal, know that you already sent an email and quit.
I have already written all the other programs (first prog to get status page and all the send email progs). I just need this one that figure out if an email has been sent. I have been playing around with creating a file and changing the 1 to a 0 and checking that and quitting when an email was sent but it got way too confusing!!
Thanks!!! I will be monitoring this forum all day to add any info that you would need to help me out writing this script.

Hi,
I am running a shell script that executes a program. Inside this program, variables are also referenced using a dollar symbol, eg. $a, $thething, and the shell script is misinterpreting them as variables relevant to the shell script rather than relevant to the program run from inside the...

pidof
PIDOF(8) Linux System Administrator's Manual PIDOF(8)NAME
pidof -- find the process ID of a running program.
SYNOPSIS
pidof [-s] [-x] [-o omitpid] [-o omitpid..] program [program..]
DESCRIPTION
Pidof finds the process id's (pids) of the named programs. It prints those id's on the standard output. This program is on some systems
used in run-level change scripts, especially when the system has a System-V like rc structure. In that case these scripts are located in
/etc/rc?.d, where ? is the runlevel. If the system has a start-stop-daemon (8) program that should be used instead.
OPTIONS -s Single shot - this instructs the program to only return one pid.
-x Scripts too - this causes the program to also return process id's of shells running the named scripts.
-o Tells pidof to omit processes with that process id. The special pid %PPID can be used to name the parent process of the pidof pro-
gram, in other words the calling shell or shell script.
NOTES
pidof is simply a (symbolic) link to the killall5 program, which should also be located in /sbin.
When pidof is invoked with a full pathname to the program it should find the pid of, it is reasonably safe. Otherwise it is possible that
it returns pids of running programs that happen to have the same name as the program you're after but are actually other programs.
