# RHEL / CentOS / Fedora Linux restart command
RESTART="/sbin/service httpd restart"
# uncomment if you are using Debian / Ubuntu Linux
#RESTART="/etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
#path to pgrep command
PGREP="pgrep"
# Httpd daemon name,
# Under RHEL/CentOS/Fedora it is httpd
# Under Debian 4.x it is apache2
HTTPD="httpd"
# find httpd pid
$PGREP ${HTTPD}
if [ $? -ne 0 ] # if apache not running
then
# restart apache
$RESTART
fi
exit
this is my script. when i run it i get
: command not foundin/apache_start.sh: line 12:
: command not foundin/apache_start.sh: line 22: pgrep
/usr/local/apache/bin/apache_start.sh: line 29: syntax error: unexpected end of file
what mistake i made. i would be very happy if anybody answer me.

Answer 1

dude, I ran your script and it works fine except the $PGREP ${HTTPD} part, if you want to get a pid why don't you use "pidof" command, and I think in your if statement you are testing the return value of grep, not httpd command(not sure). anyway did you edit this script in word document or in an editor, cause you know this may add some invisible characters to your code.
to debug it, I suggest that you comment out rest of your code where you get the first error and see figure out the solution to that specific error.
