Log what exits in bash script. What causes exit code thats not 0?


Hi!
I have this situation with 3 shellscripts.

One is a "startscript" that simply calls other scripts. This one is scheduled with cron to run at regular intervals. That script runs what I'll refer to as Script 1.

Script 1 in turn runs script 2.
Sometimes, seemingly random script 2 fails and sends back an exitcode to script 1.

So how can I modify the scripts so that when script 1 is run, all stdout/stderr messages from script 2 are logged to file?

All I really need to know is what command in script 2 that doesn't exit with $?0 , and since it's random it would be good to have it in a file.

Help appreciated

SCRIPT 1
----------------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

basedir=`dirname $0`

cd $basedir

exitcode=0

checkfail()
{
if [ $1 -gt 0 ]; then
logger_error Subprocess $pid failed. Signalling to higher level. Check import.log
if [ $exitcode -eq 0 ]; then
exitcode=$FATAL
fi
fi
return $1
}

# find and source log4sh
if [ -r "$basedir/log4sh" ]; then
log4shDir=$basedir
elif [ -r "./log4sh" ]; then
log4shDir=.
else
echo "fatal: could not find log4sh" >&2
exit 2
fi
. $log4shDir/log4sh

# Load properties
. $basedir/do_all.properties

logger_info Searching for new catalog files to import in $importCatalogsDir

# Get all direct subdirectories omitting dirs starting with .
dirs=`find $importCatalogsDir -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d ! -name ".*"`

count=0

for d in $dirs
do
sleep 4
./import_catalogs_buyer.sh $d &
pids[$count]=$!
logger_info Started processing catalogs in $d with process PID ${pids[$count]}
let "count=$count+1"
done

1. in a couple of places you do

if [ $exitcode -eq 0 ]; then
exitcode=$FATAL

but you haven't set a value for FATAL anywhere ..... also in Unix, zero is usually the OK/Good status, so why would you call it FATAL ?

2. You haven't actually said so, but I'm guessing

./import_catalogs_buyer.sh $d &

is the call to script2.

You could accumulate stdout/stderr msgs thus:

./import_catalogs_buyer.sh $d >>import_catalogs_buyer.log 2>&1 &

or one file per for easier debug

./import_catalogs_buyer.sh $d >import_catalogs_buyer_${d}.log 2>&1 &

You might also want to add

set -x

at the top of your script: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/options.html

I'll try this.

And yes, the script getting called is ./import_catalogs_buyer.sh

Thanks!
