set variable value based on if string existing in output
I solved my issue by using the following code

Code:
#!/bin/bash
function GET_STATUS {
     #values Active Passive Failed
     ssh  -a localhost '/home/user/fakecommand.sh'
}

STATE="unknown"
until [[ "$STATE" = "Failed" ]]
do
echo $STATE
sleep 5


STATUS=`GET_STATUS`
echo $STATUS | grep Active && STATE="Active"
echo $STATUS | grep Passive && STATE="Passive"
echo $STATUS | grep Failed && STATE="Failed"
done







bash script: I want to wait until the output from function contains certain values

Note: this function ssh's into a remote server runs a command and outputs data to standard out



Code:
function GET_STATUS {    
     ssh  -a localhost '/home/user/fakecommand.sh'
}

Unfortunately the output from the remote command changes length in both line numbers and sometimes it has extra white space..

It looks something like this....



Running command.....


Code:
variable length:stuff i dont need1                stuff i dont need2                        status                          stuff i dont need3
variable length:stuff that i dont need 1                         stuff i dont need2                        Active                          stuff i dont need3

I want to perform actions based on the value of the status column
There are only 3 values..... Active,Passive,Failed

I have written the following code, but i think it could be much better.

Code:
GET_STATUS  | grep "Active" && STATE="Active" # I Set the variable first so that i dont have to wait for the sleep if it is already in Active
        until [[ "$STATE" = "Active" ]]
                do
                echo "Running GET_STATUS" && sleep 1
                GET_STATUS  | grep "Active" && STATE="Active"
done

Can anyone think of a way i can set the the variable $STATE
Any heap would be greatly appreciated


Thanks

dat_ep_modify

dat_ep_modify(3DAT)				     Direct Access Transport Library Functions				       dat_ep_modify(3DAT)

NAME

       dat_ep_modify - change parameters of an Endpoint

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldat [ library... ]
       #include <dat/udat.h>

       DAT_RETURN
	   dat_ep_modify (
	   IN	 DAT_EP_HANDLE	      ep_handle,
	   IN	 DAT_EP_PARAM_MASK    ep_param_mask,
	   IN	 DAT_EP_PARAM	      *ep_param
	   )

PARAMETERS

       ep_handle       Handle for an instance of the Endpoint.

       ep_param_mask   Mask for Endpoint parameters.

       ep_param        Pointer to the Consumer-allocated structure that contains Consumer-requested Endpoint parameters.

DESCRIPTION

       The dat_ep_modify() function provides the Consumer a way to change parameters of an Endpoint.

       The  ep_param_mask  parameter  allows  Consumers to specify which parameters to modify. Providers modify values for ep_param_mask requested
       parameters only.

       Not all the parameters of the Endpoint can be modified. Some can be modified only when the Endpoint is in a specific state.  The  following
       list specifies which parameters can be modified and when they can be modified.

       Interface Adapter

	   Cannot be modified.

	   Endpoint belongs to an open instance of IA and that association cannot be changed.

       Endpoint State

	   Cannot be modified.

	   State of Endpoint cannot be changed by a dat_ep_modify() operation.

       Local IA Address

	   Cannot be modified.

	   Local IA Address cannot be changed by a dat_ep_modify() operation.

       Local Port Qualifier

	   Cannot be modified.

	   Local port qualifier cannot be changed by a dat_ep_modify() operation.

       Remote IA Address

	   Cannot be modified.

	   Remote IA Address cannot be changed by a dat_ep_modify() operation.

       Remote Port Qualifier

	   Cannot be modified.

	   Remote port qualifier cannot be changed by a dat_ep_modify() operation

       Protection Zone

	   Can be modified when in Quiescent, Unconnected, and Tentative Connection Pending states.

	   Protection  Zone  can  be  changed  only  when  the Endpoint is in quiescent state. The only Endpoint states that isare quiescent isare
	   DAT_EP_STATE_UNCONNECTED and DAT_EP_STATE_TENTATIVE_CONNECTION_PENDING. Consumers should be	aware  that  any  Receive  DTOs  currently
	   posted to the Endpoint that do not match the new Protection Zone fail with a DAT_PROTECTION_VIOLATION return.

       In DTO Event Dispatcher

	   Can be modified when in Unconnected, Reserved, Passive Connection Request Pending, and Tentative Connection Pending states.

	   Event  Dispatcher  for  incoming  DTOs (Receive) can be changed only prior to a request for a connection for an Active side or prior to
	   accepting a Connection Request for a Passive side.

       Out DTO Event Dispatcher

	   Can be modified when in Unconnected, Reserved, Passive Connection Pending, and Tentative Connection Pending states.

	   Event Dispatcher for outgoing DTOs (Send, RDMA Read, and RDMA Write) can be changed only prior to a request for  a  connection  for	an
	   Active side or prior to accepting a Connection Request for a Passive side.

	   Passive side.

       Maximum RDMA Size

	   Can be modified when in Unconnected, Reserved, Passive Connection Pending, and Tentative Connection Pending states.

	   Maximum RDMA Size can be changed only prior to a request for a connection for an Active side or accepting a Connection  Request  for  a

       Recv Completion Flags

	   Can be modified when in Unconnected, Reserved, Passive Connection Pending, and Tentative Connection Pending states.

	   TION_NOTIFICATION_SUPPRESS_FLAG, DAT_COMPLETION_SOLICITED_WAIT_FLAG, or DAT_COMPLETION_EVD_THRESHOLD_FLAG. Recv posting does  not  sup-
	   port  DAT_COMPLETION_SUPPRESS_FLAG or DAT_COMPLETION_BARRIER_FENCE_FLAG dat_completion_flags values that are only applicable to Request
	   postings. Recv Completion Flags can be changed only prior to a request for a connection for an Active side or  accepting  a	Connection
	   Request for a Passive side, but before posting of any Recvs.

       Request Completion Flags

	   Can be modified when in Unconnected, Reserved, Passive Connection Request Pending, and Tentative Connection Pending states.

	   Request Completion Flags specifies what DTO flags the Endpoint should support for Send, RDMA Read, RDMA Write, and RMR Bind operations.
	   The value can be: DAT_COMPLETION_UNSIGNALLED_FLAG or DAT_COMPLETION_EVD_THRESHOLD_FLAG. Request  postings  always  support  DAT_COMPLE-

	   Passive side.

       Maximum Request IOV

	   Can be modified when in Unconnected, Reserved, Passive Connection Pending, and Tentative Connection Pending states.

       DAT_INVALID_HANDLE      The ep_handle parameter is invalid.

       DAT_INVALID_PARAMETER   The  ep_param_mask parameter is invalid, or one of the requested Endpoint parameters or attributes was invalid, not
			       supported, or cannot be modified.
