How we can use pointer in script

Hi Team,

I have built script to start & stop SAP application. In this script i have given system SID & now my script is too big. I want to do some changes in this script so the single code can execute for multiple SIDs. For Ex- I have 20 systems like ECD,BWD,CXD...etc & right now i have built script for all SIDs now i just want to keep all SIDs & host name in one text file & create some varible like "SID" & so script can read thi value from text file & than execute my script
./stsrtsap <SID> .

My script

#!/bin/sh
#
# Start / stop SAP
Action=$1
Inst=$2
case "$Action" in
"start")

case "$Inst" in
PIN)

su - orapin -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER_PIN"
su - pinadm -c "startsap"
su - pinadm -c "sapccm4x -DCCMS pf=/usr/sap/sapmnt/PIN/profile/ERN_DVEBMGS50_vhscpinapp01"
su - daaadm -c "startsap"
;;

BWN)
su - orabwn -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER_BWN"
su - bwnadm -c "startsap"
su - bwnadm -c "sapccm4x -DCCMS pf=/usr/sap/sapmnt/BWN/profile/BWN_DVEBMGS60_vhscbwnapp01"
su - daaadm -c "startsap"

;;
*)
esac
;;

"stop")

PIN)
su - daaadm -c "stopsap"
su - pinadm -c "sapccm4x -stop pf=/usr/sap/sapmnt/PIN/profile/ERN_DVEBMGS50_vhscpinapp01"
su - pinadm -c "startsap"
su - orapin -c "lsnrctl stop LISTENER_PIN"

;;

BWN)
su - daaadm -c "stopsap"
su - bwnadm -c "sapccm4x -stop pf=/usr/sap/sapmnt/BWN/profile/BWN_DVEBMGS600_vhscbwnapp01"
su - bwnadm -c "stopsap"
su - orabwn -c "lsnrctl stop LISTENER_BWN"

;;
*)
esac
;;

*)

echo "Usage: $0 { start|stop }"

exit 1

;;

esac

exit 0

I am a SAP Basis guy & trying to learn linux shell scripting ,Please help me to built this script.

the basic way to read a var from a file is like so

Code:

[schneidz@hyper clips]$ cat karan4141.txt 

hello

world

l33t

h4x0rz

chun-li

akuma

[schneidz@hyper clips]$ cat karan4141.txt | while read line

> do

>  echo line = $line

> done

line = hello

line = world

line = l33t

line = h4x0rz

line = chun-li

line = akuma

Thanks for reply !!

I want to crete file like below

$ cat ihost
PIN PINAPP001
BWN BWNAPP01
CXN CXNAPP01

Now when i execute my script "startsap.sh" this scpript can read SID from ihost.

./startsap PIN than this PIN replace <sid> in my script & than execute script for PIN.

case "$Inst" in
PIN)

su - ora<sid> -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER_<SID>"
su - pin<sid> -c "startsap"
su - pin<sid> -c "sapccm4x -DCCMS pf=/usr/sap/sapmnt/<SID>/profile/<SID>_DVEBMGS50_vhscapp01"
su - daaadm -c "startsap"

Modifying schneidz's technique slightly and extending it, startsap.sh could contain something like

Code:

while read sid something_else

do

    su - ora$sid -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER_$sid" 

    <more commands using $sid and maybe $something_else>

done < ihost

That presumes you have logon names oraPIN etc. which would be valid but unconventional. In case the logon is orapin, use ora${sid,,}. The technique is shell parameter expansion, here used to translate upper case to lower case.

in case you want to convert a variable to upper or lower case, here is a list about the possibilities, see in the middle (in bash 4): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...hell-scripting

Hi Catkin,

Thanks for reply !!

You informaion is very helpful. Should i add code provided by you like below

#!/bin/sh

#

# Start / stop SAP

Action=$1
Inst=$2

case "$Action" in

"start")

case "$Inst" in
SID)

while read sid something_else
do
su - ora{$sid..} -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER_$sid"
su - ${sid,,}adm -c "startsap"
<more commands using $sid and maybe $something_else>
done < ihost

cat ihost

PIN
CXN
ECH
.....etc

Please use CODE tags when posting code. It is most easily done by using Advanced editing and using the # button.

Assuming startsap.sh is called with arguments/parameters "start" and "SID" then it looks OK (subject to testing) as long as you replace "<more commands using $sid and maybe $something_else>" with what you need.

I have done the change & try to execute but i am getting syntex error

remove esac on line 27 and 29

Indentation makes that sort of error obvious. For example

Code:

case "$Action" in

    "start")

        case "$Inst" in

            sid)

                while read sid 

                do  

                  su - ora{$sid..} -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER_$sid"

                  su - ${sid,,}adm -c "startsap"

                done < ihosts

                ;;  

            *)  

        esac

        ;;  

    *)  

        echo "Usage: $0 { start|stop }"

        exit 1

        ;;  

esac



exit 0

I have removed the entries but also getting the same error. Below is my full script & output

Code:

typeset  sid

Action=$1

Inst=$2



case "$Action" in



"start")



        case "$Inst" in

        sid)

while read sid

do

su - ora{$sid..} -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER_$sid"

su - ${sid,,}adm -c "startsap"

done < ihosts





;;

*)

      esac

          ;;

"stop")



      sid|SID)

      while read sid

do



        su - ${sid,,)adm -c "stopsap"

 done < ihosts

;;

*)esac

;;

*)



        echo "Usage: $0 { start|stop }"



        exit 1

exit 0

Code:

[root@HSCDEV9 /tmp]# ./test start BWD

./test: line 28: syntax error near unexpected token `)'

./test: line 28: `      sid|SID)  '

I have devloped the below script is working fine but the issue is i have to write code for each SID(Ex- PIN,BWN,CXN..etc). So i just want to devlop sigle code which can get SID from any text file & execute the below script .

Code:

#!/bin/sh



#



# Start / stop SAP



Action=$1

Inst=$2



case "$Action" in



"start")



        case "$Inst" in

        PIN)



            su - orapin -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER_PIN"  

            su - pinadm -c "startsap"

            

        ;;

*)

      esac 

          ;;

"stop")



        PIN)

            

            su - pinadm -c "startsap"

            su - orapin -c "lsnrctl stop LISTENER_PIN"

;;

*)

      esac 

          ;;



*)



        echo "Usage: $0 { start|stop }"



        exit 1



        ;;



esac



exit 0

Before the stop case there is a ;; after *)

In the stop case there is an unmatched brace in su - ${sid,,)adm -c "stopsap"

After that there is

Code:

*)esac

;;

*)

which is at least messy and probably wrong.

After the closing esac there is

Code:

        echo "Usage: $0 { start|stop }"

 

        exit 1

 

        ;;

esac

The ;; and esac are wrong.

Fixing all that and using indentation so such errors would be obvious

Code:

typeset  sid

Action=$1

Inst=$2



case "$Action" in

    "start")

        case "$Inst" in

            sid)

                while read sid

                do

                    su - ora{$sid..} -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER_$sid"

                    su - ${sid,,}adm -c "startsap"

                done < ihosts

                ;;

            *)

        esac

    "stop")

        sid|SID)

        while read sid

        do

            su - ${sid,,}adm -c "stopsap"

        done < ihosts

        ;;

    *)

        echo "Usage: $0 { start|stop }"

        exit 1

        ;;

esac



exit 0

For perfection, the typeset sid is not required (it has no effect) and the case statement does not require a ;; before esac (it's OK to hve it but not required)

Hi Catkin,

I have done the same you have pasted here but i am still getting error

Code:

typeset  sid

Action=$1

Inst=$2



case "$Action" in

    "start")

        case "$Inst" in

            sid)

                while read sid

                do

                    su - ora${sid,,} -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER_$sid"

                    su - ${sid,,}adm -c "startsap"

                done < ihosts

                ;;

            *)

        esac

    "stop")

        sid|SID)

        while read sid

        do

            su - ${sid,,}adm -c "stopsap"

        done < ihosts

        ;;

    *)

        echo "Usage: $0 { start|stop }"

        exit 1

        ;;

esac



exit 0

Code:

[root@DEV9 tmp]# ./test start BWU

./test: line 22: syntax error near unexpected token `)'

./test: line 22: `    "stop")'

[root@HSCDEV9 tmp]#

i am not very familiar with cases but for your embedded case, you dont define anything for *). maybe it needs something like ;;.

Sorry !! for trhe late reply but i am getting the same error after removing *) from inner case statment.

Code:

typeset  sid

Action=$1

Inst=$2



case "$Action" in

    "start")

        case "$Inst" in

            sid)

                while read sid

                do

                    su - ora${sid,,} -c "lsnrctl start LISTENER_$sid"

                    su - ${sid,,}adm -c "startsap"

                done < ihosts

                ;;



        esac

    "stop")

        sid|SID)

        while read sid

        do

            su - ${sid,,}adm -c "stopsap"

        done < ihosts

        ;;

    *)

        echo "Usage: $0 { start|stop }"

        exit 1

        ;;

esac



exit 0

[root@HSCDEV9 tmp]# ./test start BWU
