I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but I want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything. I'm working on a log monitoring script and every 10 lines I want to display a summary of events. The thing is, there are a lot of possible events, that likely won't have happened, so I only want to include them in the summary if they've actually happened.
Right not I'm doing this through mulitple if statements, but that's incredibly ugly... I'm wondering if it's possible to do something like this (which does not work):
#!/bin/bash
a=5
case -n in
$a)
echo "yep"
;;
esac
The only other solution I could come up with was to write a function along these lines:
checkExist ()
{
if [[ -n $1 ]];then
case $1 in
possibleVariable)
yadda
;;
esac
fi
}
Actually, now that I'm typing all of this out...I think that's how I'll go about it, but I'm still curious if you can use logic in case, or if it's just string matching.
In case anyone cares, here is my script thus far (it's still in progress, so the formatting may be off)

In case anyone cares...
This is the (more or less) finished project. It's still a bit wonky in places, and I'd appreciate any input on how I could have streamlined this, or made it more efficient
