ksh script problem

[dcomit]

I can't get this script to work.
What I want to do is to write the date and the result of the ps into the file test.log.
It runs but I don't get anything in the logfile.

#!/bin/ksh
#
DA=`date`
DB=`ps -eoargs | grep lm_qdx5.2_production`
echo $DA >> test.log
echo $DB >> test.log

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried some debugging like set -x as first command ?

Still nothing.
I've tried putting in a line:
echo "Running"

but nothing is displayed.

What's the name of your script and how are you running it? A common mistake is to name a script "test" which is also the name of a shell builtin.

 

[vgersh99]

....or better yet naming it "script".

Thanks,

 

[vgersh99]

next time, pls start a new thread.

nawk -f vptl.awk file

BEGIN {
  FS=":"
}

$1 ~ /Serial/ { sn=$2 ; print; next}

$1 ~ /^[ ]+#/ || $0 ~ /^[ ]*$/ { print; next }

{ print sn, $0 }

Sounds like you're not finding anything with the grep command.

vgersh99: that's really really really nice!!! that kind of codes make me realize that I know just a little bit of scripting!

Cheers.

Where is your test.log located? You might be looking at
a different copy of test.log. Tell the script where the
test.log is located and rerun your script.

example... put TESTLOG="${HOME}/TEST.log"

then just echo to >> TESTLOG...after the run go to your
home directory and check if TEST.log is there.

Thanks everybody, my script is working ok now. The problem was down to file permissions.
