Well, first off, your usage statement doesn't match your parameter order.

echo "USAGE: $0 schedule_file date(mm/dd/yy) time(hh:mm:ss)"

then
DATE=$1
TIME=$2
FILE=$3

File is $1, date is $2, & time is $3.

then, do this:

for CLASS in `cat $FILE`;do

...and it should work.  Note, the single, back-quotes around the "cat $FILE"
and the included "$" sign.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Altering script, failing somehow. What have I done
wrong?


The script fails when it is supposed to feed the contents of the input $FILE
to bpimagelist. Man, I'm learning but it's an uphill battle. ;-)

#!/bin/sh

usage ()

  echo "USAGE: $0 schedule_file date(mm/dd/yy) time(hh:mm:ss)" 1>&2
}

if [ $# -ne 3 ]; then
  usage
  exit 1
fi

DATE=$1
TIME=$2
FILE=$3
TP_INPUT=./tpeject_input

for CLASS in 'grep FILE';do
bpimagelist -media -L -d $DATE $TIME -sl $CLASS | grep "^Media" | awk
'{print $3}' > $TP_INPUT

done
