Hi

Between the [[ and ]] an expression is expected. And expression != command.

To make your command being executed, enclose it in `...` or $(...).

But probably this will not work as you expected. Better explain your goal and show some sample data from PERCENT_ALERT.txt.

Thanks for the help.

The PERCENT_ALERT.txt is a single line file that only has a numeric value as such.

98

Better explanation is if the value in the PERCENT_ALERT.txt file is less than or equal to 100 then send an email with the text of a different file.

Hope that makes sense.

Hi

If you are sure the file will always contain one integer, then I would prefer this way :
Tested with bash and mksh.

It seems to be working as far as the if portion, however it this is in a KSH script.

When it meets the criteria of the if statement I get several emails in a row with nothing in them other then ALERT as the subject.

if (( $(< PERCENT_ALERT.txt ) <= 100 )); then

/usr/lib/sendmail -v -f "ALERT" "email@address.com" < ALERT.txt

else

echo "File is Empty"

fi;

Not sure why it repeats itself over and over ??? And not including the ALERT.txt information.

Hi

Interesting. What happens when you move the reading of PERCENT_ALERT.txt out from the if condition ?

Still get about 9 emails with only a subject.

Hi

Let us add some debugging. Please post the output produced by this script :

Hi

Looks correct for me.

And if you run only the sendmail command without the rest of the script, still get multiple mails ?

Feherke.
http://feherke.github.com/

/usr/lib/sendmail -v -f "ALERT" email@address.com < ALERT.txt

I only get 1 email when I do this, however I only see ALERT in the sender information. No information from the ALERT.txt file is included.

I was including the if statement at the end of a cron that runs every five minutes. However every five minutes I was getting 9 emails.

Crazy.

Hi

Could you show us more from that script ? Maybe the relevant crontab line(s) too.

I have a get_script that kicks off the other script. The reason is I'm pulling the same data from several places at once ever 5 minutes.

percent=$(< /export/home/live/cperlive/PERCENT_ALERT.txt )

if (( ( percent ) <= 100 )); then

/usr/lib/sendmail -v -f "CPER_ALERT" "email@address.com" < /export/home/live/cperlive/CPER_ALERT.txt

I figured out the issue. Apparently the file I wanted to be included in the email can't have () or : in it. Once I removed those the script works fine.
