I am trying to get away from hard coded server names in a script using case for valid name check
This works but is not good because as soon as you add a new server to the NFS mountpoint list the script this is from has to be changed. case $target_system in abinodji | calhoun | itasca | nokomis | pepin | phalen | vadnais | bemidji | millpond | mudlake | terrapin | hadley | hyland ) parm_1="valid";; esac So I tried several variants of this: space=" " delim=" | " raw_list=`ls /clamscan/servers` #read list of mountpoints cooked_list=$(echo $raw_list | sed -e "s:$space:$delim:g") #replace space with case-happy delimiters echo "Raw list = "$raw_list echo "cooked list = "$cooked_list case $target_system in $cooked_list ) parm_1="valid" ;; esac But even though the display of 'cooked_list' seems to be what I want it to be, this never returns a match. Anyone see where I missed the turnip truck on this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
