Hey vino my freiend!

Thanks!
You solved my syntax problem,but I still have a funcionality problem with the condition.

Following nir.ksh content:
Code:
#! /bin/ksh

CONF_FILE=nir.conf
export $(< $CONF_FILE)
run_install_sr()
{
nawk -F'[=:]' '$1 ~ "^INSTALL_SR_" && $NF = "Y" {print $2}' "${CONF_FILE}" | whi
le read INSTALL_SR_DIR
do
  rc=$(rsh ${DB_HOST_NAME} hostname && echo OKAY)
status=$?
if [[ $status -eq 0 ]]    # remsh command successful, now get remsh rc...
        then
            if [[ "$rc" = 'OKAY' ]]
            then
                echo " all is well"
            else
                echo "remote failure"
            fi
else
     echo "local failure: remsh"
fi

done
}
run_install_sr

The problem is with the condition:
if [[ "$rc" = 'OKAY' ]]
then
echo " all is well"
else
echo "remote failure"
fi

When I run the script I get the output : "remote failure",despite of the fact that there is no problem to get to the remote server.

I want to check the status which returned back from a remote server.
How to do it right?

Thanks in advance,
Nir

Code:
  rc=$(rsh ${DB_HOST_NAME} hostname && echo OKAY)
status=$?

I think it must have something to do with the above code.

Try something like

Code:
rsh ${DB_HOST_NAME} hostname
status=$?
if [[ $status -eq 0 ]] ; then
  rc=OKAY
fi ;

Thanks pal but I'm still does not catch the correct status from the command I run on the remote server.

My code is now as the following:
Code:
CONF_FILE=nir.conf
export $(< $CONF_FILE)
run_install_sr()
{
nawk -F'[=:]' '$1 ~ "^INSTALL_SR_" && $NF = "Y" {print $2}' "${CONF_FILE}" | whi
le read INSTALL_SR_DIR
do
  rsh ${DB_HOST_NAME} hostnam
  status=$?
  if [[ $status -eq 0 ]] ; then
    rc=OKAY
  fi
            if [[ "$rc" = 'OKAY' ]]
            then
                echo " all is well"
            else
                echo "remote failure"
            fi
done
}
run_install_sr

I changed the command "hostname" to "hostnam"
I ran the script:
Code:
bounty:# ./nir.ksh 
ksh: hostnam: not found
 all is well

I expected to get "remote failure" and not "all is well".

Any more ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Nir
