The second $counter is not escaped.
Better use ' ' instead of " " and do not escape the " " and $var inside the ' '.
Or rerun the whole script in the sudo context:
Code:
if [ "${USER:-$LOGNAME}" = "root" ]
then
sleep 1 # in case this fails
exec sudo su - appuser -c "$0 $@"
fi

Another question, is it possible to, in a for-loop incrementing until it reaches a certain number, to have it loop again without incrementing? Just have it drop what it is doing when it reaches this command and start again at the same number it was at? I know I could make a while loop and just... (0 Replies)

Hello,
I've written a script to automate encoding of all the MP4 files in a directory (incl. subdirectories). But unfortunately it's running for the first MP4 file only.

while
while(n) Tcl Built-In Commands while(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
while - Execute script repeatedly as long as a condition is met
SYNOPSIS
while test body
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The while command evaluates test as an expression (in the same way that expr evaluates its argument). The value of the expression must a
proper boolean value; if it is a true value then body is executed by passing it to the Tcl interpreter. Once body has been executed then
test is evaluated again, and the process repeats until eventually test evaluates to a false boolean value. Continue commands may be exe-
cuted inside body to terminate the current iteration of the loop, and break commands may be executed inside body to cause immediate termi-
nation of the while command. The while command always returns an empty string.
Note: test should almost always be enclosed in braces. If not, variable substitutions will be made before the while command starts execut-
ing, which means that variable changes made by the loop body will not be considered in the expression. This is likely to result in an
infinite loop. If test is enclosed in braces, variable substitutions are delayed until the expression is evaluated (before each loop iter-
ation), so changes in the variables will be visible. For an example, try the following script with and without the braces around $x<10:
set x 0
while {$x<10} {
puts "x is $x"
incr x
}
