Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Script Experts,

Here is my scenario:
1. /var/mqm/qmgrs folder will contain 11 folders as follows:
1. /var/mqm/qmgrs/Folder_Name1
....................../Folder_Name2
....................../Folder_Name3
.......
...................../Folder_Name11

2. if Folder_Name1 exists in /export/home/mqm/DR/ini/Folder_Name1
then delete Folder_Name1 from step 1. /var/mqm/qmgrs folder

3. Go back in the loop, take Folder_Name2 and perform step 2. until all 11 Folder_Name11

NOTE:
I did ls -1 /var/mqm/qmgrs/. which is giving me a list of Folder_Name1 thru Folder_Name11

I don't know how to take Folder_Name1 value and see if it exists in step 2 folder.

If somebody can help me here would be highly appreciated!!!

Warm Regards,

Try this:

Code:

cd /var/mqm/qmgrs
for dir in Folder_Name*; do
   if [ -d /export/home/mqm/DR/ini/$dir ]; then
      echo removing $PWD/$dir
      #rm -r $dir
   fi
done

Run the script once with the echo, then if the correct directories are being shown as removing... then you can unhash the rm statement.

Hi BlowTorch,

Thank you so much for your quick response. Can I ask you a question,

what is $PWD doing in echo removing $PWD/$dir line

Again, thanx a lot for your help!!!

You are just giving a message to the screen telling the user which dir you are removing.
'PWD' would contain the value of current directory. Just

Code:

echo $PWD

and see.

BlowTorch and Raj,

Thank you so much for all your help. It is working great. I really appreciate it.

I have a similar situation where I like do the following:

Here is my scenario:
1. /var/mqm/qmgrs folder will contain 11 folders as follows:
1. /var/mqm/qmgrs/Folder_Name1
....................../Folder_Name2
....................../Folder_Name3
.......
...................../Folder_Name11

2. if Folder_Name1 exists in /export/home/mqm/DR/ini/Folder_Name1
then update a LogPath line in qm.ini file within /var/mqm/qmgrs/Folder_Name1/qm.ini file

3. Go back in the loop, take Folder_Name2 and perform step 2. until all 11 Folder_Name11

NOTE:
This is what I tried, it is generating a new file under /var/mqm/qmgrs but NOT updating the LogPath line in the qm.ini file.

Code:

cd /var/mqm/qmgrs/
for dir in *; do
    if [ -d /export/home/mqm/DisasterRecovery/ini/$dir ]; then
       echo updating Log Path for $PWD/$dir
       sed -e '/^   LogPath/s/LogPath=\var\/mqm\/log\/$dir\/
             $dir\//LogPath=\/var\/mqm\/log\/$dir\//' /var/mqm/qmgrs/
             $dir/qm.ini >ini.new
    fi
done

Looks like my sed is NOT working properly. If I try the same sed replacing Folder_Name as follows, it is working fine.

sed -e '/^ LogPath/s/LogPath=\/var\/mqm\/log\/CIBOTSP\/CIBOTSP\//
LogPath=\/var\/mqm\/log\/CIBOTSP\//' qm.ini.new > qm.ini

Could you please help me out here.

Not really able to understand what you are doing in that sed there. Why don't you give an example for one directory name and then someone could help you with what you want.

Here's a tip: when using sed to match/replace for pathnames that contain the "/" character, don't use the "/" as the delimiter/seperator for the sed commands. Use something like "#" instead.

Code:

sed -e 's#LogPath#lOGpATH#g' somefile

works just as well as the more traditional

Code:

sed -e 's/LogPath/lOGpATH/g' somefile
