Shell script syntax - adding quote to end of line - shell

I have below script which gives me syntax error if I add the single quote at the end of the line where I am assigning the java vm arguments. Why this syntax is wrong?
#!/bin/bash
#Incorrect
JVM_OPTS='-XX:+UseG1GC -Xms250M -Xmx250M -Xss1M -DVAR1='"$VALUE1"' -DVAR2='"$VALUE2"'
START_CMD="java ${JVM_OPTS} ${JVM_ARGS} -jar ${1}"
$START_CMD
#!/bin/bash
#Correct
JVM_OPTS='-XX:+UseG1GC -Xms250M -Xmx250M -Xss1M -DVAR1='"$VALUE1"' -DVAR2='"$VALUE2"
START_CMD="java ${JVM_OPTS} ${JVM_ARGS} -jar ${1}"
$START_CMD

You should be using an array (and/or a function)
JVM_OPTS=(-XX:+UseG1GC -Xms250M -Xmx250M -Xss1M -DVAR1="$VALUE1" -DVAR2="$VALUE2")
JVM_ARGS=(...)
start_cmd () {
java "${JVM_OPTS[#]}" "${JVM_ARGS[#]}" -jar "$1"
}
start_cmd "$1"

Let's match the start and end quotes:
JVM_OPTS='-XX:+UseG1GC -Xms250M -Xmx250M -Xss1M -DVAR1='"$VALUE1"' -DVAR2='"$VALUE2"'
# \............................................../\......./\......../\......./^
You have an unmatched quote.
But use #chepner's suggestions. Building up a command into a single string is bound to fail.

How do you get GNU Parallel to parse quoted command line arguments?

This is one sample program in the GNU parallel documentation for executing via the shell script shebang.
#!/usr/bin/parallel --shebang-wrap --colsep " " /bin/bash
echo Arguments: $#
The output for
./bash_echo.parl gracias 'buenos dias'
is
gracias
buenos
dias
The above script does not handle command line arguments that are quoted and contain spaces. The arguments are expanded instead and treated as individual inputs.
How do I obtain the correct output as for the bash script below?
#!/usr/bin/env bash
for i in "$#"; do
echo "$i"
done
This, obviously, handles quoted command line args.
Output:
gracias
buenos dias
I've tried using the option 'colseps' setting the separator to ' ' but that isn't the solution.
You have found a bug: --shebang-wrap was never tested with spaces.
Possible fix:
diff --git a/src/parallel b/src/parallel
index 69adfdac..e7c0d930 100755
--- a/src/parallel
+++ b/src/parallel
## -3302,9 +3302,10 ## sub read_options() {
#options = shift #ARGV;
}
my $script = Q(shift #ARGV);
+ my #args = map{ Q($_) } #ARGV;
# exec myself to split $ARGV[0] into separate fields
- exec "$0 --_pipe-means-argfiles #options #parser $script ".
- "::: #ARGV";
+ exec "$0 --_pipe-means-argfiles #options #parser $script ".
+ "::: #args";
}
}
if($ARGV[0] =~ / --shebang(-?wrap)? /) {
It seems to fix your issue, but it may introduce others.

Executing shell command in groovy throws 'unexpected char' error

I am trying to execute a shell command n groovy
def shellString = "s/\[\|]\|\s\|'\|(\|)//g"
def temp2 = "echo response| sed -e ${shellString}".execute()
It throws compilation error:

shellString isn't a slashed string, so not sure why a \ would create a problem. Any help is appreciated.
You need to escape slash to avoid compilation errors:
def shellString = "s/\\[\\|]\\|\\s\\|'\\|(\\|)//g"
def temp2 = "echo response| sed -e ${shellString}".execute()
println temp2.text
Output:
response| sed -e s/\[\|]\|\s\|'\|(\|)//g
This will fail on many levels. The biggest problem you will face is the fact, that execute is really just executing a process (not a shell command). So first of all you can not use | at all. Next quoting arguments will not work, because execute will just split at whitespace. So if you want to use "shellisms" use the equivalent of sh -c "..." instead and use execute on a string array. E.g.
["sh", "-c", "..."].execute()
Then you can put your ... shell code in there with all the redirections, quotings, env-vars etc. with the proper Groovy quoting applied as mentioned in the other answer.
And to circumvent all of that: why even bother with sed here? Just use replaceAll on the resulting string on the groovy side of things.

Bash script error. What is wrong with this script?

I'm new at bash script writing and I have this error. I have looked everywhere to find an answer with no success. What is wrong with this script?
#!/bin/bash
exec >> /Users/k_herriage/bin/post-gererate.out 2>&1
date
set -x
mynewfile="~/bin/convert_tst.txt"
myfile=fopen($mynewfile,'w+' );
#echo $myfile
fwrite($myfile, "testing");
fclose($myfile);
exit (0)
line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `('
line 7:`myfile = fopen ( '~/bin/convert_tst.txt','w' );'
Few points:
Calling a function in bash does not require parens, it is syntactically equivalent to a command:
do_something arg1 arg2 arg3
There is no need to do open-append-close sequence in bash, it is perfectly doable with a single command:
echo "testing" >> $mynewfile; ##
>> means "append", where if it was >, it would mean "overwrite" or "discard content". (Both will create the file if it didn't exist.)

AIX - bash script

I'm trying to implement a small bash script in AIX, but I'm having some problems. Bellow you can find a example. I have another question, if I want to add the script to Crontab, I think I'll have problems to call serverStatus.sh from IBM, how can avoid this problem.
#!/usr/bin/sh
WAS_HOME="/usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/bpmnprd01/"
function StatusCheck()
{
$WAS_HOME/bin/serverStatus.sh BPM.AppTarget.bpmnprd01.0 -username admin -password admin
status=$(cat /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/bpmnprd01/logs/BPM.AppTarget.xxxxx/serverStatus.log| awk '{ if (NF > 0) { last = $NF } } END { print last }' "$#")
text="STOPPED"
if [[ $text == $status ]]
then
echo "OK"
else
echo "NOK"
fi
}
function start()
{
StatusCheck
}
start
-----------------------
when I try to execute the script above, I get the following error:
[root#bpmnprd01]/root/health_check# ./servers_check.sh
./servers_check.sh[7]: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 7 : `(' is not expected.
...after this I search on google, and I found some examples without "()" on subroutine.But I got this:
[root#bpmnprd01]/root/health_check# ./servers_check.sh
./servers_check.sh[30]: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 33 : `StatusCheck' is not expected.
Thanks in Advance

AIX has a true bourne shell living in /bin/sh, not sure about /usr/bin/sh, but would expect that to be Bourne shell as well.
Change your script heading line (the #shebang!) to
#!/usr/bin/bash
Or the result of which bash
IHTH
You are using bash specific syntax but calling the script with sh, which has more limited capabilities. Since you want to use sh, you can use a tool like checkbashisms or shellcheck to help uncover non-portable syntax.
The immediate problem is that function foo() { ..; } is not a POSIX compliant function definition, and you should drop the keyword function and use just foo() { ..; }.
Your shell may also be lacking [[ ]] in which case you should use [ ] instead, with = instead of ==.

Error defining variable in bash

I am writing simple housekeeping script. this script contains following line of codes.This is a sample code i have extracted from the actual code since it is a big file.
#!/bin/bash
ARCHIVE_PATH=/product/file
FunctionA(){
ARCHIVE_USER=user1 # archive storage user name (default)
ARCHIVE_GROUP=group1 # archive storage user group (default)
functionB
}
functionB() {
_name_Project="PROJECT1"
_path_Componet1=/product/company/Componet1/Logs/
_path_Component2=/product/company/Componet2/Logs/
##Component1##
archive "$(_name_Project)" "$(_path_Componet1)" "filename1" "file.log"
}
archive(){
_name= $1
_path=$2
_filename=$3
_ignore_filename=$4
_today=`date + '%Y-%m-%d'`
_archive=${ARCHIVE_PATH}/${_name}_$(hostname)_$(_today).tar
if [ -d $_path];then
echo "it is a directory"
fi
}
FunctionA
When i run the above script , i get the following error
#localhost.localdomain[] $ sh testScript.sh
testScript.sh: line 69: _name_Component1: command not found
testScript.sh: line 69: _path_Component2: command not found
date: extra operand `%Y-%m-%d'
Try `date --help' for more information.
testScript.sh: line 86: _today: command not found
it is a directory
Could someone explain me what am i doing wrong here.
I see the line: _today=date + '%Y-%m-%d'
One error I spotted was resolved by removing the space between the + and the ' like so:
_today=date +'%Y-%m-%d'
I don't see where the _name_Component1 and _name_Component2 variables are declared so can't help there :)
Your variable expansions are incorrect -- you're using $() which is for executing a subshell substitution. You want ${}, i.e.:
archive "${_name_Project}" "${_path_Componet1}" "filename1" "file.log"
As for the date error, no space after the +.
a few things... you are using $(variable) when it should be ${variable}
on the date command, make sure there is no space between the + and the format
and you have name= $1, you don't want that space there
