A shell script question
Hi,
I have a file say xmldir.conf. This is a flat file which contains the data in specific format not other then this. The format is
/backup/surjya/mvfile,noeof
/backup/surjya/mdbase,eof
/backup/surjya/mdbaseso
/backup/surjya/trial,hoeof
/backup/surjya/test,eof
The field before "," is directory names and field after "," is an attribute of the directory. I have written a shell script to list out the directory names from xmldir.conf file according to the attribute. Those names will be listed only if attribute is noeof or eof. If no attribute is there like 3rd row of the file then it is treated as also eof attribute.
Now my program is
#!/bin/sh
conffile=xmldir.conf
dir=`cut -d, -f1 xmldir.conf`
echo $dir
for dir1 in $dir
do
insertmode=`grep $dir1 $conffile | awk '{FS = ","} {print$2}'`
echo $insertmode
#echo $dir1 $insertmode
if [ $insertmode = "eof" -o $insertmode = "" ]
then
echo "It is eof dirs" $dir1
else if [ $insertmode = "noeof" ]
then
echo " It is noeof dirs" $dir1
fi
else
echo " It is neither of these"
fi
done
But it is not working. It fails when it is checked for rows without atribute. So please let me know how can I correct this.
Thanks

vxconfigbackup
vxconfigbackup(1M) vxconfigbackup(1M)
NAME
vxconfigbackup - back up disk group configuration
SYNOPSIS
/etc/vx/bin/vxconfigbackup [-l directory] [[dgname ...] | [dgid ...]]
DESCRIPTION
The vxconfigbackup utility can be used to backup up the configuration information for one or more disk groups. The disk groups may be
specified either by name or by ID. If no disk groups are specified, all disk group configurations are backed up.
OPTIONS
-l directory
Specifies a directory other than the default where the backup configuration files are to be written.
Note: The default backup directory is /etc/vx/cbr/bk.
EXAMPLES
Back up the configuration of the mydg disk group to the directory /dgbackup/mydg:
vxconfigbackup -l /dgbackup/mydg mydg
FILES
/etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.dginfo
Default location of backup file for disk group information.
/etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.diskinfo
Default location of backup file for disk attributes.
/etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.binconfig
Default location of backup file for binary configuration copy.
/etc/vx/cbr/bk/dgname.dgid/dgid.cfgrec
Default location of backup file for configuration records in vxprint -m format.
NOTES
The vxconfigbackupd daemon automatically backs up a disk group's new configuration to the default backup directory whenever the configura-
tion is changed. The vxconfigbackup command is provided to back up the configuration manually at any other desired time.
The disk group configuration backup and restore utilities do not save any data in the public region. This includes file system or other
application data that is configured within VxVM objects.
