Re: shell script

There's no need to have the subroutines inside the loop and I changed the line with WHILE on it... other than that it looks okay; however I didn't test it so look it over. I'm assuming the value for $response comes from somewhere else...

Code:

clear
ans='y'

notfound()
{
 echo $response " is not logged in"
}
found()
{
 echo $response "is logged into " $name
}

while [ $ans == 'y' ]
do
name=`ps -eaf | grep "\<$response\>" | cut -b 80-85`
if [$name != "<$response\>"]
then
 name=`rsh server2 ps -eaf | grep "\<$response\>" | cut -b 80-85`
elif [$name != "<$response\>"]
then
 name=`rsh server3 ps -eaf | grep "\<$response\>" | cut -b 80-85`
elif [$name != "<$response\>"]
then
 name=`rsh server4 ps -eaf | grep "\<$response\>" | cut -b 80-85`
elif [$name != "\<$response\>"]
then
 notfound
else
 found
fi
echo -n "New search? [y/n]: "
read ans
done

zgrep

ZGREP(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep  options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
