Hello All!

I am trying make some script jump by some if statement like the one in dos commands.
In dos commands is it like this:

---snip---
if exist nodelist.(day) then goto latest
else
copy nodelist.(oldday) d:\fido\makenl\z115fake\
goto chckfile1

:latest
copy nodelist.(day) d:\fido\makenl\z115fake\

:chckfile1
rem
rem some other checks commands herunder.
----cut----

In linux I have this command and functions in mind nad use.

---snip---
if [ -a nodelist.${num} ]; then goto latest; fi
else
cp nodelist.${oldnum} /home/fido/makenl/z115fake/
goto chckfile

:latest
cp nodelist.${num} /home/fido/makenl/z115fake/

:chckfile
####
# some other linux command and functions for check and move files here under. ---snip---

The linux command and function shall could check if the new julian dat nodelist/pasnlist is copied to a place and if it not is the julian day file then jump to another section and copy the latest there is, but if it there is the julian day file cp it and jump over the section for the old file copy.

it could maybe just be done with 2 line of if statements.
if [ -a nodelist.${oldnum ]; then copy nodelist.${oldnum}; fi
if [ -a nodelist.${num} ]; then copy nodelist.${num}; fi

so the function only copy the old nodelist when it not find the julian fay nodelist there will be the next weeks nodelist.



Take care,
Gert

You don't need to use goto's in linux shell so do something like this:

if [ -a nodelist.${num} ]; then
cp nodelist.${num} /home/fido/makenl/z115fake/
else
cp nodelist.${oldnum} /home/fido/makenl/z115fake/
fi

The linux command and function shall could check if the new julian
dat
nodelist/pasnlist is copied to a place and if it not is the julian day

file

then jump to another section and copy the latest there is, but if it

there

is the julian day file cp it and jump over the section for the old file copy.

it could maybe just be done with 2 line of if statements.
if [ -a nodelist.${oldnum ]; then copy nodelist.${oldnum}; fi
if [ -a nodelist.${num} ]; then copy nodelist.${num}; fi

Ok, except for copy -> cp and you forgot the destination of the copy! ;)

so the function only copy the old nodelist when it not find the
julian fay
nodelist there will be the next weeks nodelist.

Bye, Wilfred.

Btw: -f or -s is better then -a. (If your using bash, I don't know if this works in other shells)

dat
nodelist/pasnlist is copied to a place and if it not is the julian day
