Full Discussion: Call same function using 2 different arguments
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Call same function using 2 different arguments Post 303038701 by mbak on Wednesday 11th of September 2019 05:37:02 PM
Old 09-11-2019
Kindly excuse my first post. Here is my actual script and I looked around to see if I could edit the first post. I'm trying to find how to pass 2 arguments to the script which in turn passes those 2 arguments to the function. I can make it work for one argument using $1 within the function.

Code:
#./backup.sh <host1> <host2>
# cat backup.sh
#!/bin/bash

function usage {
	  echo "USAGE: $(basename $0) <host1> <host2>"
	  exit 1
}
if [[ $# != 2 ]]; then
  usage
fi

function backup_run () {
SITE=$(ssh -q $HOST cat /serverinfo | awk '{print $2}' 2>/dev/null)
echo $SITE
HOST=$(ssh -q $HOST hostname|cut -c1,2,3,4 >/dev/null)
echo $HOST

#Setting SITE based on region
case $SITE in
  AAA)
    region="AAA"
    ;;
  BBB)
    region="BBB"
    ;;
  *)
    echo "FAIL: Incorrect region"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

#OS Version
REL=$(ssh -q $HOST rpm -q redhat-release-server 2>/dev/null)

# Print KEY value based on host, site and os version
if [[ ${HOST} == "PROD" ]]; then
  KEY="${SITE} NEW ${REL}"
else
  KEY="${SITE} OLD ${REL}"
fi
}

backup_run <host1>
backup_run <host2>

NAME

       privatepw - Change WU-FTPD Group Access File Information

SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       If  a site supports the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands, it is necessary to be able to add, delete and list enhanced access group infor-
       mation. The utility is used to update this information in the group access file This is meant as an administrative tool and not to  be  run
       by the general user population. This command requires read/write permission to the appropriate ftpgroups file.

   Options
       In the options defined below, accessgroup is an alphanumeric name specified to a group. Please see the section for details.

	      Create a new   file.

	      Delete the specified
			     accessgroup information from the ftpgroups file.

	      Use the specified
			     ftpgroups file for all updates. If this option is not specified by default it takes the file.

	      Set the real system group (defined in
			     to the accessgroup specified.  This is valid only when adding a new accessgroup or changing the password of an exist-
			     ing accessgroup.

	      List the contents of the appropriate ftpgroups file.

	      This option causes the program to display copyright and version information,
			     then terminate.

   Background
       After user logs in, the SITE GROUP and SITE GPASS commands may be used to specify an enhanced access group and associated password. If  the
       group name and password are valid, the user becomes (via a member of the group list in the group access file

       The format of the group access file is:

       where  access_group_name  is  an arbitrary (alphanumeric + punctuation) string.	encrypted_password is the password encrypted via crypt(3),
       exactly like in real_group_name is the name of a valid group listed in
