I have a script that does daily checks on my storage environment and is run from an AIX host.
The script currently works great but I have been changing and updating bits of it to make it easier for my lesser colleagues to understand
However now with the updates I have made I have a problem. The thing is where the problem is was created by a UNIX scriptor who has now left and there is no one to help troubleshoot the command:
Problem is with creating a directory structure and my variables for creating this directory structure are:
The directory structure is created using the following command and is the one command in the whole script I do not fully understand or are able to troubleshoot:
Code:
#MAKE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE IF IT DOES NOT EXIST
if [[ ! -d ${_DIRECTORY_PATH} ]]
then
mkdir -p ${_DIRECTORY_PATH}
fi
when I run the script I get the following output:
Code:
+ date +%m_%b_%Y
_DATE_DIR=02_Feb_2012
+ date +%d.%b.%Y
_DATE_DAILY=07.Feb.2012
_DIRECTORY_PATH=/home/isoscwi/CAPACITY/REPORT/DAILY_CHECKS-VMAX/02_Feb_2012
_LOG_FILE=/home/xxxxx/CAPACITY/REPORT/DAILY_CHECKS-VMAX/02_Feb_2012/07.Feb.2012_Daily_Checks
+ [[ ! -d /home/xxxxx/CAPACITY/REPORT/DAILY_CHECKS-VMAX/02_Feb_2012 ]]
./new_daily_script: [[: not found
+ echo
./new_daily_script: /home/xxxxx/CAPACITY/REPORT/DAILY_CHECKS-VMAX/02_Feb_2012/07.Feb.2012_Daily_Checks: cannot create
I am sure this is something simple but I cannot see it myself. The "create the directory stucture" is what the UNIX guy created.
Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?
Cheers
Col

test::script
Test::Script(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Script(3)NAME
Test::Script - Basic cross-platform tests for scripts
DESCRIPTION
The intent of this module is to provide a series of basic tests for 80% of the testing you will need to do for scripts in the script (or
bin as is also commonly used) paths of your Perl distribution.
Further, it aims to provide this functionality with perfect platform-compatibility, and in a way that is as unobtrusive as possible.
That is, if the program works on a platform, then Test::Script should always work on that platform as well. Anything less than 100% is
considered unacceptable.
In doing so, it is hoped that Test::Script can become a module that you can safely make a dependency of all your modules, without risking
that your module won't on some platform because of the dependency.
Where a clash exists between wanting more functionality and maintaining platform safety, this module will err on the side of platform
safety.
FUNCTIONS
script_compiles
script_compiles( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script compiles' );
The "script_compiles" test calls the script with "perl -c script.pl", and checks that it returns without error.
The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.
Note also that the test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl).
This will also be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.
script_runs
script_runs( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script runs' );
The "script_runs" test executes the script with "perl script.pl" and checks that it returns success.
The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.
The test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl). This will also
be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.
