How to check whether a variable is empty or contains some value?
hi,
i want to check whether a a variable contains some value or is empty in a shell script. so if the variable contains some value i want to do some job and if the variable doesnt contain any value then i need to skip that job.
here is a sample script
read_filenames.sh contains
Code:
FILENAME=$1
FILE="s1.txt"
if [ -n $FILENAME ]; then
FILE=$FILENAME
fi
echo "FILE = {$FILE}"
so, when i run the script without passing any argument, variable "FILE" should contain "s1.txt". so the output should be
Code:
$ sh read_filenames.sh
FILE = {s1.txt}
but when i pass an argument to the script, then the variable "FILE" should contain the argument value. so the output should be
Code:
$ sh read_filenames.sh p1.txt
FILE = {p1.txt}
currently i am using the above code, but if i dnt pass any argument to the script. the output is
Code:
FILE = {}
i read somewhere that
Code:
if [ -n $FILENAME ]; then
checks whether the variable is empty or not. but i dnt think that its doing that job. can anyone tell how can i do the above.

rabbitmq-env.conf
RABBITMQ-ENV.CONF(5) RabbitMQ Server RABBITMQ-ENV.CONF(5)NAME
rabbitmq-env.conf - default settings for RabbitMQ AMQP server
DESCRIPTION
/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf contains variable settings that override the defaults built in to the RabbitMQ startup scripts.
The file is interpreted by the system shell, and so should consist of a sequence of shell environment variable definitions. Normal shell
syntax is permitted (since the file is sourced using the shell "." operator), including line comments starting with "#".
In order of preference, the startup scripts get their values from the environment, from /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf and finally from
the built-in default values. For example, for the RABBITMQ_NODENAME setting,
RABBITMQ_NODENAME
from the environment is checked first. If it is absent or equal to the empty string, then
NODENAME
from /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf is checked. If it is also absent or set equal to the empty string then the default value from the
startup script is used.
The variable names in /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf are always equal to the environment variable names, with the RABBITMQ_ prefix
removed: RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT from the environment becomes NODE_PORT in the /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf file, etc.
# I am a complete /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf file.
# Comment lines start with a hash character.
# This is a /bin/sh script file - use ordinary envt var syntax
NODENAME=hare

NODENAME=hare
This is an example of a complete /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf file that overrides the default Erlang node name from "rabbit" to "hare".
