The problem is I am using "getopt" to process the switches...
while getopts :pg: option
do
case $option in
p) OPTION_p=Y ;;
g) GID=$OPTARG ;;
\?) print $OPTARG is not a valid argument. ; exit 0 ;;
esac
done
shift $(expr $OPTIND - 1)
After the shift, the $1 arg should be the ORACLE_SID passed in.
When called directly everything works fine...
exfail.sh -p -g "dba apps" TEST
echo $GID returns
dba apps
When called from another script echo $GID returns
"dba
You can see it thinks the double quote is part of the argument for -g, is
also does not thing apps is part of it. The reason is how it is treating
the " double quotes. When called directly it sees them as surrounding the
dba and apps words and all of it is part of the -g argment. When called
from a script dynaically it treats the double quotes as part of the argment.
I think I will paly around with single ticks to see if that works. I think
there is a command that will basically expand the command once before
running it, and I think that will work, but I can't recall it at the moment.
I will keep tinkering.
Thanks,
Ethan

As I understand it, your skip isn't working if there are multiple parameters
passed in, so that when you get your parameters and do your skip, you are
skipping one "word" and then the next parameter fails. If that is the case,
what you may want to do is parse out the multi-parameter string with awk -F"
{'print $2'}. Then count the words separately and skip those.
HTH. BTW, I'm tied up with AppsDBA stuff and am not monitoring the List as
I should. Feel free to email me directly if I can provide addition
assistance.
