Troubleshooting Script
I am fairly new to Unix (Sun OS) scripting with Ksh, and I could use a little help troubleshooting my script. When I run it, I get the error "if unexpected" on the function setYear. If I comment out the setYear function, I get the error "for unexpected" on the function sendEmails. This leads me to believe that the error lies above the two functions, but I cannot find it. I am hoping that one of you might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for the help.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

# Author:    Mark Harley, ISDC Halifax
# Contact:   m.harley@cgi.com
# Created:   01 March 2005
# Updated:   04 March 2005
# Purpose:   This is a test of the automated monthly eBCCS log file backup.
#            The actual copies of this file are on the following servers:  

dmocnu.on.bell.ca, dmocnt.on.bell.ca, dc1c3m.qc.bell.ca

# The following files need to be backed up each month (usually on the 7th):
# Nohup.out
# PHLog.txt
# PSQTLog.txt
# Response-Log.txt
# Access.log
# Weblogic.log
# ServiceAddressQueryResponseLog.txt

# this sets the email addresses that are sent the temp file containing the command outputs
email_addresses="tina.naugler@cgi.com m.harley@cgi.com pamela.green@cgi.com"

# this puts the instance names in an array
set -A instance

a few comments:

1. this
Code:
set -A instance
instance[1]="ont0"
instance[2]="qbc1"
instance[3]="jdbc0"
instance[4]="admin1"

can be made with that:
Code:
set -A instance 'ont0' 'qbc1' 'jdbc0' 'admin1'

the same goes for the OTHER array declaration/initialization.
btw, arrays are ZERO-based - not ONE-based

2.
Code:
function setYear{
  if [ ${DATEmonth} == 1 ]
  then
    DATEyear=${DATEyear}-1
  fi
}

DATEyear is declared as integer and should be compared as such.
Code:
if (( DATEmonth == 1 ))

and substraction should be performed as such:
Code:
(( DATEyear = DATEyear -1 ))

3. for your actual error.... - you need either a SPACE between the function name the trailing '{' OR you need to put '{' on a new line:
Code:
function setYear {

OR

function setYear
{

there are other potential problems with the script, but we'll go slow - fix the ones above first and start debugging the output next.

good luck.

There is another problem that needs to be addressed now, and that is code like:
for ((y=0; y<=${#fName[*]}; y++))
You don't say which version of Solaris you are using. As of Solaris 9, /bin/ksh is based on ksh88 and it does not support the arithmetic for statement.

You could just change that to a arithmetic while. This means moving the "y=0" to just before the loop and embedding ((y=y+1)) inside the loop. (no y++ either) This is what I would do.

There is a second option. Solaris comes with dtksh which is in /usr/dt/bin/dtksh. You could switch to that. dtksh is based on ksh93 and it has the more advanced arithemetic constructs. It is heavily extended from ksh since you can write x clients in dtksh. This slows it down somewhat.

But you need to do something here. You are trying to run ksh93 code on a ksh88 intrepreter.

To simply start to debug then execute that ksh script in debug mode as,

ksh -x <script.ksh>

it will give appropriate location where it is getting problem.

You can not work for loop as lik fore ((y=0; y<=${#fName[*]}; y++)) in shell script so that you can use while instead of it as,

y=0
while [[ $y -le ${#fName[*]} ]]
do
action;;
let y=y+1
done

It will do that trick.

HTH.

I tried to edit the script (without testing) as,
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

# Variables

set -A instance "ont0" "qbc1" "jdbc0" "admin1"
set -A fName "nohup.out" "PHLog.txt" "PSQTlog.txt" "response-Log.txt" "access.log" "wl-domain.log" "weblogic.log" "ServiceAddressQueryResponse.Log.txt"

# these variables will contain the system date to append to the file name
# the DATEday variable can be altered for mid-month backups (but it MUST be reset to the 7th 
after backup completed)
DATEday=7
DATEmonth=$(( \( "`date +%m`" + 12 - 1 \) % 12 ))
DATEyear="`date +%y`"

# filler variables
zero="0"
star="*"
underscore="_"

# if the current month is January, then the backup will be for December of the previous year
function setYear {
  if [ ${DATEmonth} -eq 1 ]
  then
    let DATEyear=DATEyear-1

}

# send the temp file in the body of an email to the email addresses specified above

Update
Ok, thanks to all of your help, I have solved many of the problems I was having. I have encountered a new problem, however, that needs dealing with. Is it possible to verify the existance of files using a wildcard? For example, if [ -f "access.log${zero}${star}" ] (where zero="0" and star="*")? In this example, I want to find all files that bear the name "access.log0...". The original file, "access.log" needs to be ignored by the script, and only the files with the numeric suffix need to be tar'd and moved. I have attempted to run it with this syntax, and it appears that none of the files are detected. Is this another syntax problem? Thanks for all the help.
# 7  
Old 03-07-2005
-f test option is used to check only the existance of one file. Not more file as, access.log0* where start is used to 0-n. But you have to do as,

Code:
for file in `ls access.logo*`
do
  action;
done

It will work now.
