I have a SNMP agent that sends three arguments to the script to get a value at the end. The first is the LeafNumber, second is the request type (SET, GET, GETNEXT), and the last is a string that represents some value to be set(used only for set requests).
The agent string looks like this:
So it makes the first agument variable(ARGV)=1
The second would be "GET" or "GETNEXT"
In the manual for the SNMP agent it gives a $ARGV[0,1, or 2] in their perl script example, but how would this look in a shell script? Would it just be $1, $2, or $3? This is what I have so far.
I need to go through 8 different variables, but once I have this one down and working, I'll add the rest in. Am I doing this right?
Whenever you find yourself writing the same 4 lines 9 times running, there's probably a better way. I'd suggest a case statement:
You can redirect in $FILENAME at the bottom that way, instead of repeating it over and over. Without a filename, grep just reads from standard input, which is what's being redirected at the bottom of the case statement there.
