Thanks, that solved that problem, unfortunately I'm coming across more strangeness.
The script says the mount failed but it's definitely listed in the df output:
#!/bin/csh
set isMounted = 'Not Mounted'
mount | grep /mnt/Backup >& ./IsMounted.log
set isMounted = `wc -l ./IsMounted.log`
if(isMounted == '1 ./IsMounted.log') then
echo 'Mount worked'
echo $isMounted
else
echo 'Mount failed'
echo $isMounted
endif
which outputs:
Quote:
Mount failed
1 ./IsMounted.log
I don't understand how it's failing the equality test. I'd also like to be able to do it without having to redirect output to another file and count in the lines but this is the only way I can get it to work at the moment.
dayid, your code gives:
Ambiguous output redirect
I think it's the '2>&1' but changing this to the more csh friendly >& gives 'Missing name for redirect'?
