I have a shell script called exfail.sh which checks for potential extent failures on a database. The script accepts a couple of command line switches.
exfail.sh -p -g "dba apps" TEST Basically this says run the exfail.sh script against the "TEST" instance, (-p) page people if there are problems, (-g) send the page/email to everyone in the "dba" and "apps" group. This works just fine. I have another script which rolls through the oratab file and calls exfail.sh against every database on the host. check_all_exfail.sh The scripts sources in some environment files which set up the command line parameters for the host or database. EXFAIL_OPTIONS="-p -g \"dba apps\"" When I run "set -x" in the script I can see the call from check_all_exfail.sh to exfail.sh is correct just like the first example. exfail.sh -p -g "dba apps" TEST exfail.sh -p -g "dba apps" DEV exfail.sh -p -g "dba apps" FOO ... However the exfail.sh script parses the command line in an entirely different manner. The -g switch picks up "dba as the $OPTARG and not dba apps thus apps" becomes the $1 argument instead of the correct TEST I know I need to tell the check_all_exfail.sh file to parse the line twice (I think) bit I can't remember the command off had to do this. Anyone have some ideas for me to try?
