problems with arguments when calling a script

Hi all

Suddenly, i have problems when i call a script when i use some arguments/variables
Here is my code

Code:

#!/bin/sh

PATH=""



find="/usr/bin/find"

xargs="/usr/bin/xargs"

tail="/usr/bin/tail"

awk="/usr/bin/awk"

cut="/usr/bin/cut"

wc="/usr/bin/wc"

grep="/bin/grep"

sqlplus="/usr/bin/sqlplus"



# Make sure the correct number of command line

# arguments have been supplied

if [ $# -lt 5 ]; then

    print_usage

    exit $STATE_UNKNOWN

fi



# Grab the command line arguments

exitstatus=$STATE_WARNING #default

while test -n "$1"; do

    case "$1" in

        --user)

            $user=$2

            shift

            ;;

            -u)

            $user=$2

            shift

            ;;

            --pass)

            $pass=$2

            shift

            ;;

            -pa)

            $pass=$2

            shift

            ;;

            --host)

            $host=$2

            shift

            ;;

            -h)

            $host=$2

            shift

            ;;

            --port)

            $port=$2

            shift

            ;;

            -po)

            $port=$2

            shift

            ;;

            --sid)

            $sid=$2

            shift

            ;;

            -s)

            $sid=$2

            shift

            ;;

    esac

    shift

done



# DB Query:

queryresult=`$sqlplus $user/$pass@'(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=$host)(PORT=$port)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=$sid)))' << EOF

select *;

EOF`

This is my output:

Code:

# ./check_ORAdatabase_1.sh -u user -pa pass -h host -po port -s sid

./check_ORAdatabase_1.sh: line 73: =user: No such file or directory

./check_ORAdatabase_1.sh: line 81: =pa: No such file or directory

./check_ORAdatabase_1.sh: line 89: =host: No such file or directory

./check_ORAdatabase_1.sh: line 97: =port: No such file or directory

./check_ORAdatabase_1.sh: line 105: =sid: No such file or directory

OK - Nothing to report

why is this happening???

Thanks in advance

i've found the problem ;)
when i search for my arguments or variables
i do
$user=$2

in stead of
user=$2

Code:

# Grab the command line arguments

exitstatus=$STATE_WARNING #default

while test -n "$1"; do

    case "$1" in

        --user)

            $user=$2

            shift

            ;;

            -u)

            $user=$2

            shift

            ;;

            --pass)

            $pass=$2

            shift

            ;;

            -pa)

            $pass=$2

            shift

            ;;

            --host)

            $host=$2

            shift

            ;;

            -h)

            $host=$2

            shift

            ;;

            --port)

            $port=$2

            shift

            ;;

            -po)

            $port=$2

            shift

            ;;

            --sid)

            $sid=$2

            shift

            ;;

            -s)

            $sid=$2

            shift

            ;;

    esac

    shift

done

Hi,

When you run this command as it is

Code:

# ./check_ORAdatabase_1.sh -u user -pa pass -h host -po port -s sid

you will get error as you need to replace user with some user on system and pass with actual password.
values in the argument are misssing.

are you running this script for the first time and also this script is written by you or you downloaded it?

euh... yeah i'm aware of that, but i don't say what user and pass i'm using ;)
i don't use that command as i say it here :p
