If you cut-n-pasted the script, the first problem is that I see is
that you
declare a variable "varnum" but never use it and second you use a
variable
"varname" that's never set.

I'm writing a script that will be run on every machine that has a
specific NIC installed. However, I may have more than one. I need to
setup ifcfg-ethx "automagically" (no touch script). This is for RHEL4U3
Currently, my test machine has 2 identical on board NICs (seen as
eth0/1) and 2 add on NICs (eth2/3). Manual setup all cards work. This
script is for the addon cards, not the onboards and detects correctly.
Here's what I have:
#start script
varnum=`grep -i "deviceId: 1234" /etc/sysconfig/hwconf -B7 |grep eth
|awk {print $2}' | wc -l`
for i in $varname; do
ethx=`grep -i "deviceId: 1234" /etc/sysconfig/hwconf -B7
|grep eth |awk
'{print $2}'`
netconfig -d $ethx --description="Neterion 612" --bootproto=dhcp
done
#end script
It detects the 2 NIC cards and the wc list shows 2. Good. BUT it only
sets up one ifcfg-ethx.
Deduction:
When the for loop runs, it's either
A: Not seeing both cards, i.e. eth2
B: Not going through both itterations
C: During both itterations, it sees only eth2, never gets to eth3 (what
I'm thinking is happening).
So, how does one say "ok, you've used this number (i.e. eth2), now look
for another (eth3).
TIA,
Roy
