mkdir error in bash script
- by Don
Hi,
The following is a fragment of a bash script that I'm running under cygwin on Windows:
deployDir=/cygdrive/c/Temp/deploy
timestamp=`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S`
deployDir=${deployDir}/$timestamp
if [ ! -d "$deployDir" ]; then
echo "making dir $deployDir"
mkdir -p $deploydir
fi
This produces output such as:
making dir /cygdrive/c/Temp/deploy/2010-04-30_11:47:58
mkdir: missing operand
Try `mkdir --help' for more information.
However, if I type /cygdrive/c/Temp/deploy/2010-04-30_11:47:58 on the command-line it succeeds, why does the same command not work in the script?
Thanks,
Don
