Back in July, Dave Martini posted the following syntax as the proper way to
use nistbladm to edit the value of a table (why are the sun docs so off on
this?).
nistbladm -e value=hostname:/export/home2/user
'[key=username]'auto_home.org_dir
I translated that into the following command for my needs:
nistbladm -e home=/home/faculty2/brenden '[name=brenden]'passwd.org_dir
This works fine from the command line, but I wanted to script this to save
some typing. Following is the text from a simple example of what I want to
do:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Enter login name: "
read USERID
MAT=`nismatch name=$USERID passwd.org_dir`
if [ -z "$MAT" ]; then
echo no such user $USERID
exit 1
fi
nistbladm -e home=/home/faculty/${USERID} '[name=${USERID}]'passwd.org_dir
Running this script gives me the following output.
Enter login name:
brenden
can't modify entry: Not found.
I know that this is a simple scripting problem with the variable usage or
maybe something to do with the single quotes, but I can't find the answer in
any docs that I have available to me or on the net. Can someone give me
some advice about the proper syntax for that last line of my script?
Thanks,
Steve Plemmons
