Not really, other than now we can make an educated guess and say that you are using a Solaris system.
To know what shell you're using for this script, we need to know how the script was invoked, and, unless it was invoked by giving its filename as an operand to a command interpreter, we need to see the 1st few lines of the script itself. Since you said earlier that the 1st line of the script is:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
so this script is probably being run by a Bourne shell.
Saying:
Quote:
Thanks for the suggestion Don, it didnt work though. I know that the bpend script is being called at the end of the backup as just having a simple "touch filename" create the file.
doesn't help us help you. How did you determine that it didn't work? Did it touch the wrong file? Did it issue a diagnostic message? Did it fail to touch either file?
Please get into the habit of supplying details about what happened and about what didn't work so the volunteers here can more accurately diagnose what is going on and help you find a solution to your problems expeditiously.
Using a Bourne shell:
Code:
if [ "$5" == '0' ]
and
if [ '$5' == '0'
should both issue a diagnostic message,
but:
Code:
if [ "$5" = '0' ]
and
if [ "$5" -eq '0' ]
should both work correctly and produce the same results as long as $5 expands to an integer that fits into a int or a long depending on the vintage of the shell. I prefer the 1st form because it will also correctly test for equality even if the given argument is an empty string, a number that is out of the range supported for arithmetic operations by your shell, or contains text instead of numeric value.
Please add the following statement as a new line of code just before your if statement:
Code:
printf 'Before if: $5 is "%s"\n' "$5"
run the script again, and tell us exactly what happened.
ive attached an unmodified version of the bpend script that i am trying to put my if statement into, if that helps.
ive not been able to run Don's test yet as the server is having some patches applied.
this script runs as part of a backup using Netbackup. so the backup will run, and when it completes, it will trigger this script if it exists (it doesnt have to exist, its used for running post backup commands).
so all i'm trying to do is to get it to create a flag file that says "successful" is the backup status is 0, and "failed" if it isnt 0

# This script is called by NetBackup when bpbkar is finished doing a
# backup on the client. It is also called after backing up the files
# for a user directed archive, but before the files are deleted.
#
# This script:
# receives 5 parameters: CLIENTNAME POLICYNAME SCHEDNAME SCHEDTYPE STATUS
# must be executable by the root user
# should exit with 0 upon successful completion
#
# If this script will not complete within a few seconds, you should set
# the BPEND_TIMEOUT in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file on the server.
# You should also be aware that the time taken by this script will slow
# down other backups that are waiting for this client to complete.
#
# This script should be installed with mode 555 so that user directed
# backups and archives will be able to execute this script.
