UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Portion of my script below :

if [ ${TODAYDAY} = "Mon" ]; then
NUMBEROFFEILDS=`cat ${BASE_SCRIPT_LOC}/standardfilecleanup.lst|grep -w ${db_file_path}|awk -F: '{print NF}'`
COUNT=4
while [ ${COUNT} -le ${NUMBEROFFEILDS} ]; do
awk_var="$"`echo $COUNT`
file_name1=`cat ${BASE_SCRIPT_LOC}/standardfilecleanup.lst|grep -w ${DATABASE_PARAM}|awk -F: '{print '$awk_var'}'`
file_name=`eval echo $file_name1`
cp -rp ${DATABASE_PARAM_PATH}/${file_name} ${DATABASE_PARAM_PATH}/${file_name}_${TODAYDATE}
echo > ${DATABASE_PARAM_PATH}/${file_name}
gzip ${DATABASE_PARAM_PATH}/${file_name}_${TODAYDATE}
COUNT=`expr $COUNT + 1`
done
else
echo "\n Today is my rest day!!\n"
fi


Code is erroring out at -

echo > ${DATABASE_PARAM_PATH}/${file_name}

Error Message below :

+ echo
+ ./manageOSfiles.ksh_orig[82]: ^J/pgmfggptc/app/oracle/mfggptcdb/10.2.0/admin/mfggptc_webisstg70/bdump/alert_mfggptc.log: cannot create

^J is cause of error.

I tried below command but its not recycling log file.

echo \> ${DATABASE_PARAM_PATH}/${file_name}

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Review your variable:

Code:

echo ${DATABASE_PARAM_PATH}
