hi,
i'm trying to write a simple bash script but with no success so far.
what this script basically does: it checks if my second isdn line is on
and if not it tries to connect it until well until its connected :) it
usually takes more than 2-3 times till the second line is connected.
ok here is the script:
while [ "isdnctrl status ippp1 | grep not" ]; do
isdnctrl addlink ippp0
sleep 10 # wait until negotiation is finished
done
isdnctrl status ippp1 either returns "ippp1 connected to xxxxxx" or
"ippp1 not connected". but the problem is that there is no condition in
[ "isdnctrl status ippp1 | grep not" ] and i found no way to put
conditions on shell outputs, only on files. so the script goes on and on
for ever. any help?
and another script:
i have a simple "lsof -n | grep lftp | ..." and the output is sth. like:
lftp 27818 root 6w REG 9,0 7597656 20379 /DIR/FILE
now how do i can remove "lftp 27818 root 6w REG 9,0 7597656
20379" so that only /DIR/FILE is left? i tried awk but it somehow
didn't work.
thx,
thomas
