Hello, I am planning to make setup for warm standby databae in postgres. But I am facing problem when I try to apply WAL files using shell scripts restore.sh.
After applying exiting WAL file in archive directory, it does not wait for next WAL files and come out and write the message in database logfile which show that Archive recovery is completed.Now system is ready for use. I check this restore.sh file and tried to debug which show syntax error in below mentioned line. Can anybody tell me why it is showing syntax error and why it is not waiting for next WAL files Restore.sh #!/bin/bash RESTORE_FROM=$1 RESTORE_TO=$2 DELAY=100000 TRIGGERED=0 TRIGGER_FILE="/home/backup/trigger" copyfunc() { if [ "$TRIGGERED" -eq "0" ]; then cp -v -i $RESTORE_FROM $RESTORE_TO fi } k=`expr $1 : '.*\(history\)'` ------------this is the line which show syntax error if [ "$k" == "history" ]; then copyfunc; exit $?; fi while [ ! -f "$RESTORE_FROM" -a "$TRIGGERED" -eq "0" ]; do usleep $DELAY; if [ -e $TRIGGER_FILE ]; then TRIGGERED=1; fi done copyfunc; when I debug this script through command sh -x restore.sh it show like that. + RESTORE_FROM= + RESTORE_TO= + DELAY=100000 + TRIGGERED=0 + TRIGGER_FILE=/home/backup/trigger ++ expr : '.*\(history\)' expr: syntax error + k= + '[' '' == backup ']' + '[' '!' -f '' -a 0 -eq 0 ']' + usleep 100000 + '[' -e /home/backup/trigger ']' + TRIGGERED=1 + '[' '!' -f '' -a 1 -eq 0 ']' + copyfunc + '[' 1 -eq 0 ']' Praveen kumar DBA -Delivery E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Extn: 1607 Sobha Renaissance Information Technology (P) Ltd.
