I am a linux noob migrated from windows anout a month ago and am lovng my fedora 5 set up.
Any ways i look after a few linux servers some of which are gaming servers i decided to have a go at writing a script to start and stop servers which works fine, a menu for ip port max players etc then it starts the server (very pleased with my self

)
i then decided to try and take it a step further when i log in via ssh i want excute myscript straight away with out navagting to each server i have a menu options ask me which server i would like to manage then i need it to cd to dir of my chioce but i can not seem to figure out how to make cd command work.

Code:

if [ $choice ==0 ] ; then CANT FIGURE OUT /home/cssource
elif [ $choice ==1] ; then cd /home/server01
etc
etc

Thanks for any help.

You are using == operator which is for string comparison and not for number comparison. Use –eq for equal to. In short,

Code:

if [ $choice -eq 0 ]; then
   cd /home/0
elif [ $choice -eq 1 ]; then
     cd /home/1
else
      echo "Etc etc"
fi

Hmm

What is output of command:

Code:

ls -ld /home/sparky/backup

If directory does not exists; Create directory /home/sparky/backup:

Code:

mkdir -p /home/sparky/backup

Rest of script is okay i'm able to run it here

All the dirs exist just can t get script to swap to them
out put of ls

Code:

[sparky@localhost ~]$ ls -ld /home/sparky/backup
drwxrwxr-x 2 sparky sparky 4096 Mar 27 20:55 /home/sparky/backup

when i thought to do the script i assumed the changing dir would be the easy part and the rest would be harder how wrong i was.

Replace

Code:

if [ $choice -eq 0 ] ; then cd
   /home/sparky/backup

With one line:

Code:

if [ $choice -eq 0 ] ; then cd /home/sparky/backup

If you type command /home/sparky/backup at a shell prompt you will always get error:
bash: /home/sparky/backup: is a directory

Same with shell script so just put it on one line.

Ya here you go; following code should work...

Code:

echo css server management--Please choose a server.
echo cssource [0]
echo cssource [1]
echo cssource [2]
echo cssource [3]
echo cssource [4]
echo cssource [5]
echo cssource [6]
echo cssource [7]
echo cssource [8]
echo cssource [9]
echo cssource [10]
echo cssource [11]
echo cssource [12]
#store vars
read choice
if [ $choice -eq 0 ] ; then cd  /home/sparky/backup
elif [ $choice -eq 1 ] ; then cd /home/server01
elif [ $choice -eq 2 ] ; then cd /home/server02
elif [ $choice -eq 3 ] ; then cd /home/server03
elif [ $choice -eq 4 ] ; then cd /home/server04
elif [ $choice -eq 5 ] ; then cd /home/server05
elif [ $choice -eq 6 ] ; then cd /home/server06
elif [ $choice -eq 7 ] ; then cd /home/server07
elif [ $choice -eq 8 ] ; then cd /home/server08
elif [ $choice -eq 9 ] ; then cd /home/server09
elif [ $choice -eq 10 ] ; then cd /home/server10
elif [ $choice -eq 11 ] ; then cd /home/server11
elif [ $choice -eq 12 ] ; then cd /home/server12
else exit
fi
#server options.
echo please fill in these 3 questions and ill start your server

#tick

./srcds_run -game cstrike -port $port +ip194.105.134.151 +maxplayers $players -tickrate $tick +map de_dust +exec server.cfg -autoupdate &

And what was wrong ... Line

Code:

elif [ $choice -eq 1] ; then cd /home/server01

Should be

Code:

elif [ $choice -eq 1 ] ; then cd /home/server01

There should be space between 1 and ] so i just added a blank space for rest of all elif statements... just use above (copy and paste)
