Command line parameters and Shell Script -- URGENT

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

I am facing some problem in the Shell script and the command line parameter.

The scenario is -- I am picking a file from a directory, whose path is <b>/interfaces/xid/receive/filename.dat</b>

I have to encrypt filename.dat and move it to another folder, whose path is <b>/interfaces/xid/send</b>. So, the encrypted file will reside in the <b>send</b> directory.

Now, I don't want to hardcode the new path, where the encrypted file has to be moved. Please let me know how to achieve this. Please consider this as urgent.

Have a look at the command line in the "before message processing" -- <b>/interfaces/xid/receive/xi_decompress.sh /interfaces%F</b>

Have a look at the shell script for the same --

#!/bin/sh

#----

---

1. Setup environment variables

#----

---

COMMPRESS_DIR=/interfaces/software/commpress

export COMMPRESS_DIR

LOG_DIR=/interfaces/software/commpress/log/

export LOG_DIR

IN_FILE=$1

export IN_FILE

1. Find the directory where the unencrypted file is deposited

IN_FILE_DIR=`dirname $1`

export IN_FILE_DIR

1. Make sure the working directory is where the unencrypt.key is...

cd $COMMPRESS_DIR

1. encrypt the file

if [ `uname` = "HP-UX" ]

then

find $IN_FILE | $COMMPRESS_DIR/compx $IN_FILE_DIR logpath=$LOG_DIR

else

find $IN_FILE | $COMMPRESS_DIR/compx-sun $IN_FILE_DIR logpath=$LOG_DIR

fi

1. Get the result of the encryption

RET_CODE=$?

1. Check decryption result

2. If error (retuen code <> 0), create an error log file in the

3. same directory as the input file.

if [ $RET_CODE -ne 0 ]

then

PREFIX="Decryption"

DATE_TIME=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S%N)

SUFFIX="err"

FILENAME=$/$_$.$ echo "Decryption Error log" >$FILENAME echo "DATE_TIME: $" >>$FILENAME echo "DIRECTORY: $" >>$FILENAME

echo "FILE: $" >>$FILENAME

echo "ERROR CODE: $" >>$FILENAME

fi

exit $RET_CODE

What else I need to add in this piece of code? Urgent help !!

Thanks a lot in advance.

Raj,

I think if you pass the directory where to be moved and the filename to be encrypted to the shell script you should be able to resolve your issue. But if you dont pass the directory then I dont think it is possible.

Hi Satish,

<i>if you pass the directory where to be moved and the filename to be encrypted</i>

So you mean to say that I should hard code the path of the directory?

Please clarify.

Thanks,

Yes Raj.

Hi Satish,

I was able to figure that out, that we need to hard code the path as the 2nd parameter.

But I guess there is a way out in Unix where we can handle this situation, where we are not willing to hard code.

Anyways, thanks a lot for your input .. -:)

Cheers,

Sorry, there is a typo error .. in the script, PREFIX="Decryption" should be replaced by <b>PREFIX="Encryption"</b>

Thanks,
