Hi,

I am new to shell scripting.i am trying to mail after my backup completed.

Here is my shell script:

if [ -f ${/backup/RMANBKUP/spool/shelltest.log} ]; then
  egrep (ERROR|error|Error|RMAN-) ${/backup/RMANBKUP/spool/shelltest.log} > /dev/null
  if [ $? = 0 ]; then
    RESULT_MSG=WARNING: Errors occurred during the ${ORACLE_SID} Rman backup full.
    mail -s $RESULT_MSG $DBA < ${BACKUP_LOG_FILE}
    touch /backup/RMANBKUP/spool/error.txt
  else
    egrep (Recovery Manager complete) ${/backup/RMANBKUP/spool/shelltest.log} > /dev/null
    if [ $? = 0 ]; then
      RESULT_MSG=${ORACLE_SID} RMAN Backup Full Completed Successfully.
      mail -s $RESULT_MSG $DBA < ${/backup/RMANBKUP/spool/shelltest.log}
    else
      RESULT_MSG=WARNING: ${ORACLE_SID} RMAN Backup full  did not complete.
      echo Backup process was terminated. | mail -s $RESULT_MSG $DBA
    fi
  fi
fi

i got the error:

/backup/RMANBKUP/scripts/shelltest.sh[16]: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 17 : `(' is not expected.

Please always indent the code to let people read it better:

Few suggestions and modifications:

if [ -f "/backup/RMANBKUP/spool/shelltest.log" ]
then
        if egrep -iq "error|RMAN-" "/backup/RMANBKUP/spool/shelltest.log"
        then
                RESULT_MSG="WARNING: Errors occurred during the ${ORACLE_SID} Rman backup full."
                mail -s "$RESULT_MSG" "$DBA" < "$BACKUP_LOG_FILE"
                touch /backup/RMANBKUP/spool/error.txt
        else
                if egrep -q "Recovery Manager complete" "/backup/RMANBKUP/spool/shelltest.log"
                then
                        RESULT_MSG="${ORACLE_SID} RMAN Backup Full Completed Successfully."
                        mail -s "$RESULT_MSG" "$DBA" < "/backup/RMANBKUP/spool/shelltest.log"
                else
                        RESULT_MSG="WARNING: ${ORACLE_SID} RMAN Backup full did not complete."
                        echo "Backup process was terminated." | mail -s "$RESULT_MSG" "$DBA"
                fi
        fi

Is that the entire script?
Error says line 17 but not convinced that the error is on the 17th line of what you pasted into the message
