Functions created don't seem to work 3

[jdespres]

I have created the following functions and have added them to .profile: [ksh]

jobsfor () {bpdbjobs | grep "^ *$1"}
driveson () {vmoprcmd -h $1}
errorson () {bperror -U -problems -client $1}
getallservers () {grep "^SERVER " /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf |/usr/bin/awk '{print $3}'}
getallclients () {bpclclients -allunique -noheader | awk '{print $3}'}
getallpolicies () {bpcllist -allclasses -L | grep "Policy Name:" | sed 's/Policy Name: //'}
getallpools () {vmpool -listall | grep "pool name:" | awk '{print $3}'}
clientconfig () {bpgetconfig -M $1}

The functions where I have added sed & awk do not work...

When I login I get the following messages:

awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
sed: command garbled: s/Policy Name: //}
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1

These commands by themselves work....

Thanks....

Enclose the awk and sed programs by double quotes if you want to include shell variables/parameters

getallservers () {grep "^SERVER " /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf |/usr/bin/awk "{print $3}"}


Or temporarily stop the single quotes

getallservers () {grep "^SERVER " /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf |/usr/bin/awk '{print '$3'}'}


HTH,

Hey P5wizard....

I tried what you mentioned....

Still having issues..

In all your function definitions, you may try this:
jobsfor () {[highlight] [/highlight]bpdbjobs | grep "^ *$1"[highlight]; [/highlight]}

Hope This Helps, PH.

Tried that last one....

getting the following:

.profile[38]: syntax error: `}' unexpected

On my AIX system, it gets really cranky when the opening { and closing } for functions are on the same line.

I defined the function like this:

getallservers () {^Jgrep "^SERVER " /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf |/usr/bin/awk '{print $3}'^J}

and it worked just fine.

Note: To enter the control J, when in edit/insert mode type a Control V followed by a Control J. If you did it correctly, you should see ^J on the screen. Additional verification - if you move your cursor over it, it should jump the ^ and J as 1 character.

Hi,

You can put all your functions in the file .kshrc located in the home directory of the user ( create it if it does not exist).
add the following line to the .profile file of the user

ENV=.kshrc

Solaris was cranky as well....

This works:

getallservers () {
grep "^SERVER " /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf |awk '{print $3}';}

I was hoping on getting my cake and eat it to...

But this is better than nothing!

Thanks!
