Hello, I am trying to make a simple shell script to ping a source but I am getting
bash-2.03$ ./test.sh google.com 10 .5 /home/users/me 16 256
./test.sh: line 35: syntax error near unexpected token `(('
./test.sh: line 35: `for (( i = 1 ; i <= $totalArguments ; i++ ))'
This is the code:
#!/bin/bash
ip=$1
count=$2
interval=$3
outputDirectory=$4
shift;
shift;
shift;
shift;
totalArguments=$#
for (( i = 1 ; i <= $totalArguments ; i++ ))
do
ping -c $count -i $interval -s ${!i} $ip >> $outputDirectory/${!i}results.txt
done
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong with the for loop syntax? Thanks!
