Data Problem with script
Hi,

I am making a shell script but getting the errors.

Script is

Code:
#!/bin/bash

ls /var/cpanel/users > /home/users.txt

for i in `cat /home/users.txt`
do


grep -H PLAN /var/cpanel/users/$i | cut -f2 -d= > /root/oldpkg.txt

oldpkg=`cat /root/oldpkg.txt`

echo "Old package is $oldpkg"


du -kcs /home/$i | cut -f1 > /root/usage.txt

usage=`cat /root/usage.txt`
echo $usage

numusage=$(`expr $usage`)

echo " usage is $numusage"


if [ "$usage" -lt 50000 ]
then
newpkg="less that 50000 k"
echo $newpkg
fi


if [ "$usage" -gt 50000 ]
then
newpkg="greater that 50000 k"
echo $newpkg 
fi

done

The output I get is

Code:
Old package is nolimit
6776 6776
expr: syntax error
 usage is 
account.sh: line 26: [: 6776
6776: integer expression expected

Please help me out.

Thanks in advance

Hammer & Screwdriver issue with numusage
looks like you are putting 6776 6776 into that variable
perhpas try
Code:
numusage=$(echo $usage | cut -d" " -f1)

to only get the first number

Your if statements are using $usage rather than your cleaned value of $numusage

Code:
6776 6776
 usage is 6776
less that 50000 k
Old package is nolimit
280 280
 usage is 280
less that 50000 k
Old package is nolimit
576 576
 usage is 576
less that 50000 k
Old package is nolimit
537508 537508
 usage is 537508
greater that 50000 k
Old package is nolimit
175444 175444
 usage is 175444
greater that 50000 k
Old package is nolimit
3593908 3593908
 usage is 3593908
greater that 50000 k
Old package is nolimit

Without seeing your modifications, I would assume that you are still doing the:
Code:
echo $usage

and not
Code:
echo $numusage
