Shell Programming and Scripting

So is EXIT an entry to the db_tools?

I'm confused

Let's try this as root:-

Code:

su - sybase -c "printf \"13\n\n0\n\nEXIT\n\" | /var/tmp/db_tools"

Does that get there?

Hi Robin,

Perfect perfect perfect...works fine as required.

Code:

su - sybase -c "printf \"13\n\n0\n\nEXIT\n\" | /var/tmp/db_tools"

Thank You very much

So on the menu, where is the EXIT option, and why is it different to option zero?

I should suggest that /var/tmp is not a good place to be storing code. It's the default area used by vi and other tools to store temporary files. Something like your db_tools code would be better under /usr/local/scripts, /usr/local/bin or perhaps /opt/our-apps/scripts and well away from /var


Anyway, glad to be of help.
