Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Error when executing script Post 303001629 by anaigini45 on Wednesday 9th of August 2017 06:24:47 AM

Thank you so much for all the comments and suggestions.

I have now managed to compile the whole script, but still needs a bit more tweaking as there are few more errors.

Part of my script does this :

Code:
new=1
for f in `find . -name '*.filtered' | sort -r`; do                                                                  
> eximstats -nr "$f" > "eximstats_day"$new"_"$eximBC01.txt";
> eximstats -xls -nr  "$f" > "eximstats_day"$new"_"BC01.xls";
> ((new++));
> done

This returns errors like this :

Code:
bash: eximstats_day1_01082017.txt;
eximstats -xls -nr  ./mainlog.7.filtered > eximstats_day1_BC01.xls: No such file or directory
bash: eximstats_day2_01082017.txt;
eximstats -xls -nr  ./mainlog.6.filtered > eximstats_day2_BC01.xls: No such file or directory
bash: eximstats_day3_01082017.txt;
eximstats -xls -nr  ./mainlog.5.filtered > eximstats_day3_BC01.xls: No such file or directory
bash: eximstats_day4_01082017.txt;
eximstats -xls -nr  ./mainlog.4.filtered > eximstats_day4_BC01.xls: No such file or directory
bash: eximstats_day5_01082017.txt;
eximstats -xls -nr  ./mainlog.3.filtered > eximstats_day5_BC01.xls: No such file or directory
bash: eximstats_day6_01082017.txt;
eximstats -xls -nr  ./mainlog.2.filtered > eximstats_day6_BC01.xls: No such file or directory

However, when I execute the code directly on the terminal, there is no error (without the for loop) :

Code:
# eximstats -nr  mainlog.7.filtered > eximstats_day1_01082017.txt
# eximstats -xls -nr  mainlog.7.filtered > eximstats_day1_01082017.xls

Is there something wrong with the syntax?

---------- Post updated 08-09-17 at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous update was 08-08-17 at 07:19 PM ----------

I found out that the error was variable substitution. I corrected the code like this, and it worked properly :

Code:
new=1
for f in `find . -name '*.filtered' | sort -r`; do
       eximstats -nr "$f" > eximstats_day"$new"_"$eximBC07".txt;
       eximstats -xls -nr  "$f" > eximstats_day"$new"_"$eximBC07".xls;
       ((new++));
done

However, I have another part of the script that has this line :

Code:
eximstats -merge eximstats_day*.txt > "eximstats.consolidated_$MONTH$YEAR.txt"

I did not put the "" for the $MONTH$YEAR, but it still produced the output I wanted. Why is this?

eximstats

EXIMSTATS(8)							       EXIM4							      EXIMSTATS(8)

NAME

       eximstats - generates statistics from Exim mainlog or syslog files.

SYNOPSIS

	eximstats [Output] [Options] mainlog1 mainlog2 ...
	eximstats -merge [Options] report.1.txt report.2.txt ... > weekly_report.txt

   Output:
       -txt
	   Output the results in plain text to STDOUT.

       -txt=filename
	   Output the results in plain text. Filename '-' for STDOUT is accepted.

       -html
	   Output the results in HTML to STDOUT.

       -html=filename
	   Output the results in HTML. Filename '-' for STDOUT is accepted.

       -xls
	   Output the results in Excel compatible Format to STDOUT.  Requires the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel CPAN module.

       -xls=filename
	   Output the results in Excel compatible format. Filename '-' for STDOUT is accepted.

   Options:
       -hnumber
	   histogram divisions per hour. The default is 1, and 0 suppresses histograms. Valid values are:

	   0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 or 60.

       -ne Don't display error information.

       -nr Don't display relaying information.

       -nr/pattern/
	   Don't display relaying information that matches.

       -nt Don't display transport information.

       -nt/pattern/
	   Don't display transport information that matches

       -qlist
	   List of times for queuing information single 0 item suppresses.

       -tnumber
	   Display top <number> sources/destinations default is 50, 0 suppresses top listing.

       -tnl
	   Omit local sources/destinations in top listing.

       -t_remote_users
	   Include remote users in the top source/destination listings.

       -include_original_destination
	   Include the original destination email addresses rather than just using the final ones.  Useful for finding out which of your mailing
	   lists are receiving mail.

       -show_dtlist
	   Show the delivery times (DT)for all the messages.

	   Exim must have been configured to use the +deliver_time logging option for this option to work.

	   list is an optional list of times. Eg -show_dt1,2,4,8 will show the number of messages with delivery times under 1 second, 2 seconds, 4
	   seconds, 8 seconds, and over 8 seconds.

       -show_rtlist
	   Show the receipt times for all the messages. The receipt time is defined as the Completed hh:mm:ss - queue_time_overall - the Receipt
	   hh:mm:ss.  These figures will be skewed by pipelined messages so might not be that useful.

	   Exim must have been configured to use the +queue_time_overall logging option for this option to work.

	   list is an optional list of times. Eg -show_rt1,2,4,8 will show the number of messages with receipt times under 1 second, 2 seconds, 4
	   seconds, 8 seconds, and over 8 seconds.

       -byhost
	   Show results by sending host. This may be combined with -bydomain and/or -byemail and/or -byedomain. If none of these options are
	   specified, then -byhost is assumed as a default.

       -bydomain
	   Show results by sending domain.  May be combined with -byhost and/or -byemail and/or -byedomain.

       -byemail
	   Show results by sender's email address.  May be combined with -byhost and/or -bydomain and/or -byedomain.

       -byemaildomain or -byedomain
	   Show results by sender's email domain.  May be combined with -byhost and/or -bydomain and/or -byemail.

       -pattern Description /Pattern/
	   Look for the specified pattern and count the number of lines in which it appears.  This option can be specified multiple times. Eg:

	    -pattern 'Refused connections' '/refused connection/'

       -merge
	   This option allows eximstats to merge old eximstat reports together. Eg:

	    eximstats mainlog.sun > report.sun.txt
	    eximstats mainlog.mon > report.mon.txt
	    eximstats mainlog.tue > report.tue.txt
	    eximstats mainlog.wed > report.web.txt
	    eximstats mainlog.thu > report.thu.txt
	    eximstats mainlog.fri > report.fri.txt
	    eximstats mainlog.sat > report.sat.txt
	    eximstats -merge	   report.*.txt > weekly_report.txt
	    eximstats -merge -html report.*.txt > weekly_report.html

	   o   You can merge text or html reports and output the results as text or html.

	   o   You can use all the normal eximstat output options, but only data included in the original reports can be shown!

	   o   When merging reports, some loss of accuracy may occur in the top n lists.  This will be towards the ends of the lists.

	   o   The order of items in the top n lists may vary when the data volumes round to the same value.

       -charts
	   Create graphical charts to be displayed in HTML output.  Only valid in combination with -html.

	   This requires the following modules which can be obtained from http://www.cpan.org/modules/01modules.index.html

	   GD
	   GDTextUtil
	   GDGraph

	   To install these, download and unpack them, then use the normal perl installation procedure:

	    perl Makefile.PL
	    make
	    make test
	    make install

	   On Debian GNU/Linux you can use "apt-get install libgd-perl libgd-text-perl libgd-graph-perl" instead.

       -chartdirI <dir>
	   Create the charts in the directory <dir>

       -chartrelI <dir>
	   Specify the relative directory for the "img src=" tags from where to include the charts

       -emptyok
	   Specify that it's OK to not find any valid log lines. Without this we will output an error message if we don't find any.

       -d  Debug flag. This outputs the eval()'d parser onto STDOUT which makes it easier to trap errors in the eval section. Remember to add 1 to
	   the line numbers to allow for the title!

DESCRIPTION

       Eximstats parses exim mainlog and syslog files to output a statistical analysis of the messages processed. By default, a text analysis is
       generated, but you can request other output formats using flags. See the help (-help) to learn about how to create charts from the tables.

TO DO

       This program does not perfectly handle messages whose received and delivered log lines are in different files, which can happen when you
       have multiple mail servers and a message cannot be immediately delivered. Fixing this could be tricky...

       Merging of xls files is not (yet) possible. Be free to implement :)
