Need help with IF script

[fsanchez13]

New to scripting and I can't seem to make this script work any help would be great

ps -ef | grep "telnet 10.0.32.36 1011" | nawk '{print $2}' > pidchk
ids=`cat pidchk`

if ($ids < 0)
then
echo restart
else
echo good
fi


I keep getting this error from the script. the name of the script is keepalive
keepalive[4]: 0: cannot open

I didn't test your script in my unix machine. Just a suggestion.
Change as follows:

if (($idx < 0))

Use:
if [[ $ids < 0 ]]
or
if [ &quot;$ids&quot; -lt 0 ]

...otherwise you are trying to read from a file named &quot;0&quot;
