Too many arguements error in SH script
Getting this error:
Code:
./check_db_locks.sh SAMPLE
./check_db_locks.sh: line 39: [: too many arguments
0&DB2 - None applications in lock-wait state
 
if [ $locks -ne 0 -a $lockwait -gt 60000 ] ; then
        lockids=`db2 get snapshot for locks on $1 |grep "ID of agent holding lock" |awk -F"= " '{print $2}' |sort -u`
        echo "$STATE_CRITICAL&DB2 - $locks lock(s). Possible app. handles are: $lockids"
        exit $STATE_CRITICAL
else
        echo "$STATE_OK&DB2 - None applications in lock-wait state"

Try quoting the variables.
Try using [ ] && [ ] instead of [ -a ].
