Greetings, using ksh on Solaris, I am trying to identify the current version of a package installed on multiple servers using if statement in a precursor to upgrading.
I have searched the forums and have found many hits, reviewed 3 pages and have tried the different variations noted there. Also checked the site, Bourne/Korn Shell Coding Conventions at OpenSolaris.org to validate operators and syntax, yet I am not getting this to work.
I have tried the following variations and all return some error, most commonly:
ksh: 1.11: unknown test operator
no
Am I missing something simple?
Code:
if [ echo "`pkginfo -x \`pkginfo | grep libiconv | awk '{print $2}'\` | grep sparc | awk '{print $2}'`" = 1.11 ]
then
echo yes
else
echo no
fi
if [ echo "`pkginfo -x \`pkginfo | grep libiconv | awk '{print $2}'\` | grep sparc | awk '{print $2}'`" eq 1.11 ]
then
echo yes
else
echo no
fi
if [ echo "`pkginfo -x \`pkginfo | grep libiconv | awk '{print $2}'\` | grep sparc | awk '{print $2}'`" eq "1.11" ]
then
echo yes
else
echo no
fi
if [ echo "`pkginfo -x \`pkginfo | grep libiconv | awk '{print $2}'\` | grep sparc | awk '{print $2}'`" -eq "1.11" ]
then
echo yes
else
echo no
fi
if [[ echo "`pkginfo -x \`pkginfo | grep libiconv | awk '{print $2}'\` | grep sparc | awk '{print $2}'`" -eq "1.11" ]]
then
echo yes
else
echo no
fi
if [ echo "\"`pkginfo -x \`pkginfo | grep libiconv | awk '{print $2}'\` | grep sparc | awk '{print $2}'`\"" -eq "1.11" ]
then
echo yes
else
echo no
fi
TFM - the echo is just for my precursor test, I will fill with exit or pkgrm and pkgadd based on results.
As for the syntax with = and "1.11", I am still getting the error with the following 2 other attempts:
Code:
if [ echo "`pkginfo -x \`pkginfo | grep libiconv | awk '{print $2}'\` | grep sparc | awk '{print $2}'`" = "1.11" ]
then
echo yes
else
echo no
fi
if [ echo "\"`pkginfo -x \`pkginfo | grep libiconv | awk '{print $2}'\` | grep sparc | awk '{print $2}'`\"" = "1.11" ]
then
echo yes
else
echo no
fi
For comparison, here are the results of the separate commands on my test server:
I figured it out after checking another one of my test using commands. Since I am echo the command results, I actually need to capture the echo as my command and test that. So, more capture the echo command and escape the commands within the echo.
Please can you help me understand the significance of providing arguments under sh -s in
