Bash script to import variable configuration

[Anja]

Hello,
Here is the script I am working on

# / Bin / bash if [-e / opt / topnet / mnt / mysql.pipe] then while [-e / opt / topnet / mnt / mysql.pipe] do mysql-u syslog - password = syslog-D syslog </ opt / topnet / mnt / done else mkfifo mysql.pipe / opt / topnet / mnt / mysql.pipe fi

the variable

$ User 
$ Password 
$ Base

A configuration file is available and I did a test on it but the problem is that it is not working.

[Broad-Man]

Even I did had same problem and I created a file config

/ Etc / config.cfg 
VAR1 = v 
VAR2 = w

At the beginning of the script. I also added

source / etc / config.cfg

Can you try to change you code to this and check whether it is working or not.

# / Bin / bash
. . / Etc / mapping.cfg
if [-e / opt / topnet / mnt / mysql.pipe] then while [-e / opt / topnet / mnt / mysql.pipe] do mysql-u $ database - password = syslog D-syslog </ opt / topnet / mnt / done else mkfifo mysql.pipe / opt / topnet / mnt / mysql.pipe fi

The following should be replaced

mapping.cfg contains 
base = db_name

Finally change the mode

chmod + x / etc / mapping.cfg

By cons, the syntax seems to me wrong in the second part of the script, when you want to declare varable SD:

SD = cat 'config'

It seems to me that it would rather:

SD = $ (cat 'config')

So that the "car" is executed because according to your syntax, your variable will be equal to SD Cat 'config "without the" cat "is executed.

My problem is how to create a maintenance rpm that by installing

config / etc / mapping.cfg

file / user / bin / mapping that contains the script

init file / etc / init.d /

Mapping that allows the control rcmapping start / stop and status. By this you can take the complete control of the program.

I have a question , if I do

SD = $ (cat 'config')

then how I can access variable contained in the config file are of this type

user = bh
password = t
base = ata
pipe = ex.pipe

So that my script is

mysql-u $ user - password = $ password-D $ database </ opt / topnet / mnt / $ pipe

Please help me with this. Thank you.
