Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I have the following curl command out of which I want to get two values in two separate variables -

Code:

curl -w '\ntotal_time=%{time_total}s' -s  http://blahblah.com:9999/cgi-bin/jboss/service.java/check?method=ping

THE OUTPUT -

Code:

{
        "alive" = "ping";
        "exp" = "-1";
        "request" = {
                "method" = "ping";
        };
}
total_time=0.506s

VAR1 - I want to capture the word "alive" and if its present in the output then print "OK" and if not present or timed out print "ERROR"

VAR2 - I want to capture the string "total_time=0.506s" as is in variable 2.

I am able to do this by two separate invocations of curl but can this be done in a single invocation of curl without saving the output to a file?

Thanks,
Allan.

Please use code tags and use a useful, descriptive subject text.

Code:

set -- $(curl -w '\ntotal_time=%{time_total}s' -s  http://blahblah.com:9999/cgi-bin/jboss/service.java/check?method=ping |awk '/alive/{a="OK"} /total_time/ {t=$0}END{ print (a=="OK")?a:"ERROR",t}')
echo $1
echo $2
