Basic Shell Scripting
Hi All,

I am a newbie to shell scripting. I am trying to something like this.
Code:
#!bin/bash
cd /u01/app/oracle/

# then start the process
./opmnctl startall

Can someone help me with this requirement.

Help is very much appreciated.

Thanks
Venkat

try
Code:
#!bin/bash

# start the process from absolute path
. /u01/app/oracle/opmnctl startall

The shebang needs an absolute file path:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

Does /u01/app/oracle/opmnctl exist? What does
Code:
ls -l /u01/app/oracle/opmnctl

produce?

Hello venkat8439,

Welcome to the forum. It's a request please use the code tage while posting the codes and commands as per forum rules. Now for your script yes you are going good. You need to put the same commands in a file which should have execution permission(or depending on your need like if you allow others to execute or not) and then try to execute it. Also keep shebang on top of the script.


Thanks,
R. Singh

Hi All,

Code:
#!/bin/bash
. /u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl status

I am getting this output

Code:
[oracle@xxxxxx obiee_scripts]$ ./start_opmnctl1.sh
/u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl: line 25: =: command not found
/u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl: line 26: =: command not found
/u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl: line 28: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Update your PATH variable at the beginning of your script by adding /u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin to it and try again...
e.g.
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin

Code:
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=$PATH:/u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin
. /u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl status

Is this right ??

If so.. I am getting following message

Code:
/u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl: line 25: =: command not found
/u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl: line 26: =: command not found
/u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl: line 28: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/u01/app/oracle/obiee117g/instances/instance1/bin/opmnctl: line 28: `%commands = ('

Thanks
