Shell script with nohup is not working

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

The code which is working fine independently is not working with nohup

Program is to check for any new file generation on particular folder

if [[ $name == * ]]; then
  echo "core file generated in the $path with core file name $name"
  fi

Getting the error " [[ksadsasassdds: command not found"

ps: "ksadsasassdds" this is the value of name

Please, double quote the "$name" variable.

What are you comparing it with, what is * meaning in if condition ?

Thanks for the reply , i just to check if the file is generated or not

#Waiting in a loop for core file generation on the directory user specified

inotifywait -q -e create -m $DIR  | while read path events name;
 do
  if [[ $name  == * ]]; then
  echo "core file generated in the $path with core file name $name"
  #calling pythin script for sending notification to user
  python mail.py $path $name $EMAIL
  fi

Check out incrond for inotify usage.

Please use code tags for your future queries!

Here is a simple example incorporating your code for check, please declare MAIL variable, as i did not.

#!/bin/bash
python mail.py $1 $2 $MAIL

And incron installed with entry as follows :

/directory/to/watch	IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO   /path/to/script/script.sh $@ $#

Hope that helps
