Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I tried to write simple script to push a message to my database server;

#!/bin/bash

txid=1

do
curl "http://10.11.1.100/message/push?Txid=${txid}&Message=This is test message"

((txid=${txid}+1))

done


Question:
1) How i want to stop the script when the txid reach 100 ?
2) Is it possible to record the start date and end date of the script and export it to file? if yes, how?


Hope get your guide. Thank You.

Code:

date +"Start: %Y-%m-%s %H:%M:%D" >> logfile 
while [ $txid -le 100 ]
do
  curl "http://10.11.1.100/message/push?Txid=${txid}&Message=This is test message"
  txid=$(( ${txid}+1))
done
date +"Finish: %Y-%m-%s %H:%M:%D" >> logfile

Give a Try on this

#!/bin/bash
echo "starting Time=$SECONDS" >logfile
txid=1
while :
do
curl "http://10.11.1.100/message/push?Txid=${txid}&Message=This is test message"
((txid=${txid}+1))
[[ $txid -eq 100 ]] && break;
done
echo "Ending Time=$SECONDS" >>logfile

Hi jacoden,

Thank you. It work now. I also tried cfajohson script but got error about "-le". i will try it again.

Did you initialize the txid variable first?
