Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

On Solaris 10 I have some problems with awk and sed which work on Linux scripts:

Config file:
# Port(s) for accepting client connections
RTSPPort=554
DefaultStorageFolder=/app/cdr


Code:

bash-3.00# awk -F"=" -v gr="888" '/RTSPPort/{$2=gr;}1' OFS="=" server.ini > server.ini.new
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1

Above in the script instead of "888" I have $RTSPPORT read from user input.

The next one neighter. Dosn't generate errors but doesn;t make the replacement.
Code:

sed -e "s-\(^DefaultStorageFolder=\)\([^#]*\)-\1$INSTALLDIR/cdr-" server.ini > server.ini.new

Thanks,
Bianca

Try the POSIX variants of those interpreters:

Code:

PATH="$(getconf PATH):$PATH"
<your commands here>

If you're using the old Solaris [/usr]/bin/sh you should use the old version of the command substitution:

Code:

PATH="`getconf PATH`:$PATH"

Hi Radoulov,

I use this in the postinstall class ... so you say to add this line

Code:

PATH="`getconf PATH`:$PATH"

before the awk and sed commands ?
But the awk throw those errors. Sed doesn't just doesn't replace. I use /bin/sh.

Thank you,
Bianca

I mean that you could try the POSIX awk and sed interpreters:
Consider the following:

Code:

$ type awk
awk is /usr/bin/awk
$ awk 9 /dev/null
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
$ PATH="`getconf PATH`:$PATH"
$ type awk
awk is /usr/xpg4/bin/awk
$ awk 9 /dev/null
$

If I try this

nawk -FS"=", -v OFS="=", -v gr="888" '/RTSPPort/{$2=gr;}1' server.ini

I get
# Port(s) for accepting client connections
RTSPPort=554 888


It adds the value to the parameter and doesn;t replace the old one. I'm missing something ? This works with Linux awk.

Thanks,
Bianca

This should work with nawk:

Code:

nawk -F= '/RTSPPort/ { OFS = "="; $2 = gr }1' gr=888 server.ini

But you could use sed for such a simple task.

Radoulov,

I didn't understood your suggestion !!! OHH !!

/usr/xpg4/bin/awk -F"=" -v gr="888" '/RTSPPort/{$2=gr;}1' OFS="=" server.ini

This works.

Thanks a lot,
Bianca
