When I run that, I get this: syntax error. Last token seen: hours
Garbled time
I have tried everything I could think of to put it differently:
- put quotes from now to hours
- use the at -f <script> <time> format
- put <now + $NROFHOURS hours> in one variable
- ...
None would work.
Do you guys have any idea please?
Thanks,
Koen

Thanks! That seemed to work (and it's simpler). Unfortunately I cannot directly use it in my script: here's what I'm doing:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
set -- `getopt -q h: "$@"`
# Check that both options are given / if not: print usage
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then
echo "Usage : $0 -h <nrofhours>"
exit
fi
# process cli options
while [ -n "$1" ]
do
case "$1" in
-h) NROFHOURS="$2"
echo "You want to schedule it $NROFHOURS hours ahead."
shift ;;
--) shift
break ;;
*) echo "$1 is not an option" ;;
esac
shift
done
/usr/bin/at -f $HOME/test/run_job.sh now + $NROFHOURS hours
Would you know how to get around this?
Cheers
