Hi and thanks for your response... drescherjm how would you get it to do that?? I am a complete beginner to this type of scripting!!!
At the moment here is an example of what my files look like:- my bacula.sh file:- #! /bin/bash Vol=$(echo "st storage=DEV6-Changer" | bconsole | grep Volume: | cut -d':' -f2) echo $Vol /etc/bacula/bconsole -c bin/bconsole.conf </bin/baculacommands.sh exit 0 For my baculacommands.sh file i have something like:- mount purge 3 8 I just want to add the $Vol name that I have found from my first file to the bottom of my second file - but am clueless as to how to pass the variable to this file... Hope this is clearer... Thanks for any help I recieve in advance! :) +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by tqzeli...@yahoo.co.uk via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
