How to restart the same step when return value is not equal to zero?
Hi Again Guru's
One of the requirements for the shell script is that when the return value of a given function is not equal to zero, it should have the option for the user to re-execute the function that has failed.
Example:
the script has different functions:
func_1()
func_2()
func_3()
func_4()
....
when func_1 fails, it should ask the user to make some necessrary corrections and once done, it should re-execute that same function.
Any idea will help.
below is the sample code.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
#Function to get return value
func_getRetValue()
{
retValue=$?
if [ $retValue -gt 0 ]
then
echo "Encountered ERROR"
func_pause "Press any key when ready ..."
else
echo "NO ERROR FOUND"
func_pause "Press Any key to continue..."
fi
}
#function to wait for the user's prompt before proceeding
func_pause()
{
read -p "$*"
}
#Function to check if supplemental logging is enabled in Aexeo Database
func_enableSupplementalLoggingOnAexeoDB()
{
sqlplus -s ${userName}/${password}@//${hostname}/${oraInstance} <<EOF > ${logDir}/output.out
set heading off
SELECT SUPPLEMENTAL_LOG_DATA_MIN from v\$database;
EOF
#Check the output of the sql statement if it is "YES"
#if not run sql statemet to alter the table
status=`cat ${logDir}/output.out | sed '/^$/d' | tail -3`
if [ $status == "YES" ]
then
echo "Minimal supplemental logging is enabled in Aexeo Database"
echo "Status is ${status}"
elif [ $status != "YES" ]
then
echo "Supplemental logging is not enabled"
echo "Please login to Database and set SUPPLEMENTAL_LOG_DATA_MIN to \"YES\" "
fi
#func_pause "Once corrected press any key to continue ..."
}
func_createPartitionsVPDUsers()
{
}
#-----------------
# Main
#-----------------
step="${1:-0}"
while :
do
case $step in
0) : ;;
1) echo "Running Step 1 : Check supplemental logging in Aexeo Database is enabled"
func_enableSupplementalLoggingOnAexeoDB
retValue=$?
if [ $retValue -gt 0 ]
then
echo "Encountered ERROR"
func_pause "Press any key when ready ..."
else
echo "NO ERROR FOUND"
func_pause "Press Any key to continue..."
fi
;;
2) func_createPartitionsVPDUsers
;;
*) exit ;;
esac
((step=${step} + 1))
done
Your while loop will re-enter the same piece of code if you don't increment the step count, so why not increment it in the "No Error" if block, rather than outside the case statement.
By the way, rather than bothering with a separate return value, you can simply say
Code:
if func_enableSupplementalLoggingOnAexeoDB
then
echo "NO ERROR FOUND"
((step=${step} + 1))
else
echo "Encountered ERROR"
fi
func_pause "Press Any key to continue..."

I'm slowly removing a lot of the bold font-styles from titles of discussions, forum titles, etc
I'm not removing bold for the entire site because we do need bold from time to time, especially in posts and sometimes in other places.
However, the original forum style had way too much... (3 Replies)
