Count increments by one

[maxcrook]

I run a script to eject tapes (found within a list like so)
c00234
c00456
but what I need to do is ensure that the amount of tapes ejected is the same as listed within the tape list.

At the moment I perform this action:

for x in `cat tapelist`
do
dsmadmc -id=me pa=password move dr $x remove=yes
done
fi

Any ideas ?

What's the problem?
Why don't you like this solution?

The script isnt the solution.
I need a count to count the number of tapes ejected.

Meaning the amount of tapes ejected should equal the amount of tapes listed in tape list.
At the moment there isnt a count.

to initialize a count:
N=0

to increase a count:
N=`expr $N + 1`

You probably want to check if your command was successful before increasing;
I don't know dsmadmc command and its return codes,
but you may try this:
dsmadmc ... && N=`expr $N + 1`

Yes definitely need to check that the command was successful! Will use the count you recommend.....

Thanks
