Hi All,
I'm brand new at doing anything linux and would like feedback on this
script I'm trying to understand from an example I'm working on..
Oh, running Centos 5.6
Anyhow, I run this bash script:
#!/bin/bash
# send data to the table in the MySQL database
MYSQL='which mysql'
if [ $# -ne 4 ]
then
echo "Usage: mtest4 empid lastname firstname salary"
else
statement="insert into employees values ($1, '$2','$3', $4)"
$MYSQL test << EOF
$statement
EOF
If [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "Data successfully added"
else
echo "Problem adding data"
fi
fi
and here is the error I get:
[Bobster at localhost ~]$ ./mtest4 5 Johnson John 120000
./mtest4: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `then'
./mtest4: line 15: ` then'
Thanks in advance for any inputs.
