Re: Problem with external commands

This one works fine with Bash.

[root@netsaint libexec]# cat /usr/local/netsaint/etc/downtime.sh 
#!/bin/sh

# Script to re-submit downtime after restart
# Get EPOCH Time via perl
TIME=`perl -e 'print time();'`
# Get the hosts that all ready have down time from the log file
DOWNTIME=`grep SCHEDULE_HOST_DOWNTIME 
/usr/local/netsaint/var/netsaint.log |
awk -F: '{print $2}'| sort -u`

# Do one host at a time
for LOOP in `echo $DOWNTIME`
do

# Work out the ENDTIME of that hosts downtime
ENDTIME=`echo $LOOP | awk -F\; '{print $4}'`

# If the time now and END time is less then process it 
if [ $TIME -le $ENDTIME ]
then
        echo "[$TIME] $LOOP" > /usr/local/netsaint/var/rw/netsaint.cmd
        echo "[$TIME] $LOOP" 
fi

done
