Thank you, both! Now I had another question if you dont mind. I'm trying to not repeat anymore code than I have to, therefore Im' trying to bundle a few commands into 1 for loop, with some conditions.
Here is what I'm trying to transform into 1 for loop
Notice, all have the same number of parameters getting passed except the second command. Therefore, I need to create a seperate section for that in the for loop.
Here is what I have so far and It's not working quite right. Any suggestions:
Code:
for M in dropLock createApplicationT enableConnects
do
if [ $M != createApplicationT ]
then
echo "Executing MaxL: $M"
. $essbasepath/startMaxl.sh $maxl_script_path/$M.mxl $essb_user $essb_pswd $essb_srvr $essb_app $essb_db $maxllog >> $logfile
_RC=$?
if [ $_RC -eq 0 ]
then
echo "$M : Successful"
continue
fi
fi
. $essbasepath/startMaxl.sh $maxl_script_path/$M.mxl $essb_user $essb_pswd $essb_srvr $essb_temp_app $essb_app $essb_db $maxllog >> $logfile
_RC=$?
if [ $_RC -eq 0 ]
then
echo "$M : Successful"
continue
fi
echo "Encountered Error in MaxL: $M"
echo "Exiting Shell Session"
echo | mail -s "Encountered Error in MaxL: $M" z@z.com
exit 1
done
echo "${_SN} has completed with no errors"
exit
Thanks!

The more I look at it, I think I need to add an 'else' section to capture error in return code under the first command. Is that correct?
Like such:
Code:
for M in dropLock createApplicationT enableConnects
do
if [ $M != createApplicationT ]
then
echo "Executing MaxL: $M"
. $essbasepath/startMaxl.sh $maxl_script_path/$M.mxl $essb_user $essb_pswd $essb_srvr $essb_app $essb_db $maxllog >> $logfile
_RC=$?
if [ $_RC -eq 0 ]
then
echo "$M : Successful"
continue
else
echo "Encountered Error in MaxL: $M"
echo "Exiting Shell Session"
echo | mail -s "Encountered Error in MaxL: $M" z@z.com
exit 1
fi
fi
. $essbasepath/startMaxl.sh $maxl_script_path/$M.mxl $essb_user $essb_pswd $essb_srvr $essb_temp_app $essb_app $essb_db $maxllog >> $logfile
_RC=$?
if [ $_RC -eq 0 ]
then
echo "$M : Successful"
continue
fi
echo "Encountered Error in MaxL: $M"
echo "Exiting Shell Session"
echo | mail -s "Encountered Error in MaxL: $M" z@z.com
exit 1
done
echo "${_SN} has completed with no errors"
exit 0
Moderator's Comments:
For your security, I replaced the actual e-mail address with a dummy one.
If the difference is just one command argument you can use a shell variable for it.
If empty it is translated to no argument. (BTW in this case it must not be put into "quotes". "" would make an empty argument.)
Code:
for M in dropLock createApplicationT enableConnects
do
echo "Executing MaxL: $M"
if [ $M != createApplicationT ]
then
extra=""
else
extra=$essb_temp_app
fi
. $essbasepath/startMaxl.sh $maxl_script_path/$M.mxl $essb_user $essb_pswd $essb_srvr $extra $essb_app $essb_db $maxllog >> $logfile
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
echo "Encountered Error in MaxL: $M"
echo "Exiting Shell Session"
echo | mail -s "Encountered Error in MaxL: $M" z@z.com
exit 1
fi
echo "$M : Successful"
done
echo "${_SN} has completed with no errors"
exit
If you have full access to the startMaxl.sh script, consider making the extra parameter the last one - that would make parameter handling way easier as every parameter would have the same position.

i wrote a while script as part of a huge program. this script, once picked, begins to output data to the person using it. pretty easy, as the person doesn't have to keep typing commands to get the output that the while loop automatically throws out.
