[SOLVED] Script syntax error

fw12 · 07-09-2010, 07:37 PM

Please tell me why my script won't run, with the error:

-------------error-------------

test: 10: -gt: unexpected operator
video_encode_restart.sh: 15: [0: not found

-------------error-------------

--------------script--------------

#!/bin/sh

APPIP=`pidof ffmpeg2theora`
if test $APPID -gt 0
then
kill `pidof ffmpeg2theora`
fi

if [$? -eq 0]
then
ffmpeg2theora /dev/video0 -audiobitrate 128 --optimize ...
fi

------------------script---------------------

What I'm trying to do is restart ffmpeg2theora every so often. So I put above script in cron.

Do you realize you misspelled APPID?

Anyway, this script seems to work:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

APPID=`pidof ffmpeg2theora`
if 	[ "$APPID" != "" ]
	then
	kill "$APPID"
fi

if 	[ "$?" -ne "0" ]
	then
	ffmpeg2theora /dev/video0 -audiobitrate 128 --optimize ...
fi

Indeed APPID is misspelled. Thank you.
