Hi,
OS - Unix, linux (all unix flavors)
My requirement. To check directory/file exists and then change the permission of the directories/files.
Iam trying to start with directory and here is my code in the file totalchange.sh (insideragain - is a directory, test1.txt - is a file under the directory insideragain)
totalchange.sh file
Code:
$1 = insideragain
if [ ! -d "$1" ]
then
chmod 550 test1.txt
fi
when i run it, i get the following error message
Code:
rt-opuX4:$ totalchange.sh
totalchange.sh[2]: =: not found
where am i wrong?
Next i want to check if file exists, so
totalchange1.sh
$1 = insideragain
$2 = test1.txt
if [ ! -d "$1" ]
if [ ! -f "$2"]
then
chmod 550 $2
fi
elsif
echo "directory not find"
fi
Can anyone point to right direction for both these files totalchange.sh and totalchange1.sh?
thanks

Thanks for your post.
To answer your question, Yes iam not passing any parameters.
Iam using the var as you mentioned.
I made some modifications and its working fine, perfect.
(The script i changed -
Code:
var1="insideragain"
var2="inside2.html"
if [ ! -d $var1 ];
then
echo $var1
echo "Directory not found"
exit 1
else
if [ ! -f $var2 ]
then
chmod 444 $var1/inside2.html
fi
#else
#echo "Directory not found"
fi)
One more question:
Is there any way to loop it. i mean
if <condition true>
then <do something>
elsif goto nextstep
In windows batch script i can use (In the below case if it does not satisfy i go to "nextstep" and it works from there)
if not <condition true> goto nextstep
then <do something>
endif
:nextstep
<whatever needs to be done here>
Thanks for your valuable input. It worked. I appreciate too.
