Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Guys,

I am trying to delevop this script that eventually will be used to validate oracle database backups.

So far I have:


#!/bin/sh
#varables

today=`date +"%a"`

if [ "$today" == "Wed" ] ; then

#main part of the script
<<EOF_1 su - oracle

<<EOF rman

connect target /
connect catalog rman/rman@rman

list incarnation;
exit
exit
exit
echo "completed"
EOF
EOF_1
exit;
else
echo "is not the correct day"
exit;
fi;
exit;

When ever I execute this, alls I get is that there was an error on line 29 but the file is only 28 lines. Looking at previous postings I am guessing there is a syntax error somewhere. Any ideas?

Without the if statement the script works fine, although I have tested the if statment seperately and it work fine.

Thanks for reading.

well got a bit further... above is what I had, I now have the following:

# !/bin/sh
#varables

today=`date +"%a"`

if [ "$today" = "Wed" ]; then
echo "running"
script
fi
script {

#main part of the script
<<EOF su - oracle
<<EOF_1 rman

connect target /
connect catalog rman/rman@rman

list backup summary;
EOF_1
EOF

}[/CENTER]

this works fine, except during the execution of the script after the "su - oracle" the script falls over.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance.

I think have resolved this myself, just been tweaking a lot. is my first script. Thanks for reading guys. I got to alter it a bit, but don't see why it won't work.

Thanks again.
