Hi folks.
I'm trying to install Midtier 7.1 patch 7 on a solaris box. The install script
mt_install stops with syntax error after I answer the prompt about where to
install midtier:
./mt_install_new: syntax error at line 1: `)' unexpected
I have tried this 3 times to make sure my responses to prompts at this point or
prior are not the cause, but I get the same result.
Anybody seen this? If you warm up at the sight of unix shell scripts, please
read on.
-----------------------------
My shell is: GNU bash, version 2.05.0(1)
I ran the mt_install script with "set -x" and this is what I see:
+ CheckSpace ARS_ROOT 120000
CSA=ARS_ROOT
CSB=120000
also=already
+ eval CHECKDIR=$ARS_ROOT
CHECKDIR=/www/apps/tomcat5/remedy/mid-tier
ORIGINAL_DIR=/www/apps/tomcat5/remedy/mid-tier
+ GetAvail DISK_AVAIL /www/apps/tomcat5/remedy/mid-tier
+ [ -d /www/apps/tomcat5/remedy/mid-tier ]
+ [ 0 -eq 1 ]
+ [ 0 -eq 1 -o 0 -eq 1 ]
+ [ 1 -eq 1 -o 0 -eq 1 ]
LC_ALL=C
LANG=C
+ awk -F {print $1}+ df /www/apps/tomcat5/wwwapptest/remedy/mid-tier
+ tr -d \012
+ egrep -vi Filesystem
+ awk -F: {print $2 }
+ eval DISK_AVAIL=/vol/viv0/tradapp)
./mt_install_new: syntax error at line 1: `)' unexpected
Note this part:
+ eval DISK_AVAIL=/vol/viv0/tradapp)
There is an extra ")" at the end.
The code in question is this:
eval DISK_AVAIL=`LC_ALL=C; LANG=C; df /www/apps/tomcat5/remedy/mid-tier 2>
/dev/null | egrep -vi "Filesystem" | tr -d '\012' | awk -F':' '{print $2 }' |
awk -F' ' '{print $1}'`
It's basically trying to find out what is the partition where the directory I
specified resides.
This part on shell prompt works fine:
$ echo `LC_ALL=C; LANG=C; df /www/apps/tomcat5/remedy/mid-tier 2> /dev/null |
egrep -vi "Filesystem" | tr -d '\012' | awk -F':' '{print $2 }' | awk -F' '
'{print $1}'`
/vol/viv0/tradapp
See the partition info displayed correctly without the extra "("
This works too:
$ eval aa=`LC_ALL=C; LANG=C; df /www/apps/tomcat5/wwwapptest/remedy/mid-tier 2>
/dev/null | egrep -vi "Filesystem" | tr -d '\012' | awk -F':' '{print $2 }' |
awk -F' ' '{print $1}'`
$ echo $aa
/vol/viv0/tradapp
See the last line. Working fine.
Where does the extra ")" come from in the script?
I will do the install by editing the script, but what's going on here??
