What are you trying to do? The script, as written, will only look in the current directory. Also, in all cases, if the trailing / isn't included in the exclude list directories, the script will fail. > i got another bash question though. i wanna execute the following > sequence of commands (what is this called, so i can search for it on > the internet?): ./configure --prefix=$1 && make && make install > but i want to exit if any of them fail. i figured the following would > work but it doesn't: > if [ ! ./configure --prefix=$1 && make && make install ] ; then > echo "an error occured" > exit #i don't know the command to exit a bash script > fi ./configure --prefix=$1 && make && make install Should work within a script, exiting if something fails. (as long as the script and configure are in the same directory) If you want output as well: if ./configure --prefix=$1 && make && make install ; then : ; else echo "an error occured" exit 1 fi echo "Success!" exit 0 Hope that helps, - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.2 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjzOJ9YACgkQn/07WoAb/StB5wCfRbsM4TT//gkY1loCD9bDflRG ueQAnjSfoZ+xc50sXdkpiPfKgoNH9F5W =ZgD1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
