Keep getting error "No such file or directory"

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

When I try to run this script I keep getting the error "/quota.sh: fgrep 5162 /home/nasadmin/quotas_michel/userlist.txt: No such file or directory" but when i run this command typed in I do get the correct output. Can somebody help me?

This is the script:

# Omgevingsvariabelen instellen
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAS_DB=/nas
NAS_BIN=${NAS_DB}/bin
NAS_SBIN=${NAS_DB}/sbin
PATH=${PATH}:${NAS_BIN}:${NAS_SBIN}
export NAS_DB PATH
REPORT_ROOT=/home/nasadmin/quotas_michel

# datum ophalen
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  REPORT_DATE=`date +%D,%T`


# Lijst met gebruikers ophalen
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  cat /nas/cifs/usrmapperV3/autoumupload/server_2_newpasswd | cut -d\: -f1,3,5 > userlist.txt

# Lijsten genereren van filesystemen waar quota's op staan
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


  
        nas_quotas -user -report -fs user1  > user1.txt
        cat user1.txt | while read LINE
        do
                USERID=`echo $LINE | cut -f 2 -d\| | cut -d# -f2`
                USED=`echo $LINE | cut -f3 -d\|`
                SOFT=`echo $LINE | cut -f4 -d\|`
                HARD=`echo $LINE | cut -f5 -d\|`
                UTEMP=`"fgrep $USERID $REPORT_ROOT/userlist.txt"`
        done
2

Remove the double quotes

UTEMP=`fgrep $USERID $REPORT_ROOT/userlist.txt`
3

If I remove the double quotes I lose the variable.. then the error becomes "fgrep: :: No such file or directory"

4

can you show trace of your script?

5

Do you meen this with trace?

[nasadmin@ns600cs_kk4 quotas_michel]$ ./quota.sh

fgrep: user: No such file or directory
fgrep: quotas: No such file or directory

Add this code at the start of your script and show the trace

You are creating the file in the directory where you kept your script.Did you keep your script in "/home/nasadmin/quotas_michel" ?

cat /nas/cifs/usrmapperV3/autoumupload/server_2_newpasswd | cut -d\: -f1,3,5 > userlist.txt

The line which you read from user1.txt is not separated by pipe.Remove unnecessary lines from user1.txt

echo $LINE | cut -f 2 -d\| | cut -d# -f2
+++ echo Report for user quotas on filesystem user1 mounted on /root_vdm_1/user1
+++ cut -f 2 '-d|'
+++ cut -d# -f2
++ USERID=Report for user quotas on filesystem user1 mounted on /root_vdm_1/user1

Use double quotes

fgrep "$USERID" /home/nasadmin/quotas_michel/userlist.txt
9

Now I get the following output

fgrep \:"$USERID"\: /home/nasadmin/quotas_michel/userlist.txt
+++ fgrep ':5005 :' /home/nasadmin/quotas_michel/userlist.txt
++ UTEMP=
++ ECHO

For some reason the script places the ' ' before and behind the userid

10

You dont need to worry about that quotes.
Do you have string ":5005 :" in the userlist.txt file?

11

This one exists in userlist.txt file!!

12

try this

fgrep ":$USERID:" /home/nasadmin/quotas_michel/userlist.txt
13

This gives the same result!! When I look at the fgrep command it looks like the script puts a space behind is.

this is what is searches for fgrep '5005 ' userlist.txt

14

The script does not include space. The space is there in the variable USERID.Try this

fgrep ":${USERID%% *}:" /home/nasadmin/quotas_michel/userlist.txt
15

It works!! Can u explain to me what u have done so can actually understand it?

16

${string%%substring}
Strips longest match of $substring from back of $string.
${USERID%% *} Removes all the blanks from the end of the string

For example let USERID="5000 10 "

fgrep $USERID file

This code will expand to

fgrep 5000 10 file

Here 5000 is the search pattern and 10 and file will be taken as two files. To avoid this problem we can use quotes around the the variable.

fgrep "${USERID%% *}" file

Thanks for your help. I understand now!!
