exit in unix
I am fixing a production issue. I am running out some problems with the exit command.
This is how the code was in production

Code:
if [ "$ubnd" -le 0 ]; then
        echo 1 > $tmp/b1stat
        exit 1
else
        echo 0 > $tmp/b1stat
fi

I wanted to check for another condition and set a value 3 to the file and exit..

I am trying like this,

Code:
if [ "$ubnd" -le 0 ]; then
    if [ $traceflag -eq 1 ] ;then
        echo 3 > $tmp/b1stat
        exit 1                     ----> This is the issue
    else
        echo 1 > $tmp/b1stat
        exit 1
    fi
else
   echo 0 > $tmp/b1stat
fi

It gives me error when I added the new exit condition. Can anyone advise what am I missing.. I am not clear with the exit codes..

I can't see any error, see the code and output below; please post the error message. Also add a set -x at the beginning of that block and a set +x at the end of this block.

Code:
$> cat mach.ksh
ubnd=0
traceflag=1
tmp=.

if [ "$ubnd" -le 0 ]; then
    if [ $traceflag -eq 1 ] ;then
        echo 3 > $tmp/b1stat
        exit 1
    else
        echo 1 > $tmp/b1stat
        exit 1
    fi
else
   echo 0 > $tmp/b1stat
fi
$> ./mach.ksh
$> ll b1stat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2 19. Mai 08:52 b1stat

Oh and you could write exit 1 once below the if/else/fi since both branches result in it.

This is a web application. Whenever I have that exit command, it gives "internal server error". I modified the code as

Code:
if [ "$ubnd" -le 0 ]; then
    if [ $traceflag -eq 1 ] ;then
        echo 3 > $tmp/b1stat
    else
        echo 1 > $tmp/b1stat
    fi
    exit 1
else
   echo 0 > $tmp/b1stat
fi

When I comment the exit 1 statement, it works fine...Even when I have exit 1 as in my 1st post, it works good. But it fails when I have something like above..

Just a try - if you change the exit 1 vs an exit 0, does the error still display on your webserver?
