Below shell script on SSH mode is not working.

variable end_pos is getting value "Stop", but when it comes in IF loop , it doesn't check the condition and loop is getting failed.

Output of command :

 /mysql/mysql/bin/mysqlbinlog mysql-bin.000001 |tail -10| grep -w -A1 154 | grep -w "Stop" |awk '{print \$10}'

is STOP

echo \$end_pos; print STOP

 #!/bin/bash
ssh -t -t username@hostname << ENDSSH
  cd /logs
echo "8. We are in SSH mode now" >./log_master.txt
end_pos=\$(/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqlbinlog mysql-bin.000001 |tail -10| grep -w -A1 154 | grep -w "Stop" |awk '{print \$10}')
echo \$end_pos;

 if  [ "\$end_pos" == "*Stop*" ];
  then
     echo "Loop succeed" >>./log_master.txt
 break
  else
      echo "loop failed" >>./log_master.txt
 fi
exit;
exit;
ENDSSH

After ilkKachu comment i put quotes in "ENDSSH" ( this is the only change i made) and executed .It threw error. Then i used second method of putting double brackets as shown below .

But when executed below script , i was getting this : if [[ "" = "Stop" ]];

  #!/bin/bash
 ssh -t -t username@hostname << ENDSSH
 cd /logs
 echo "8. We are in SSH mode now" >./log_master.txt
end_pos=\$(/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqlbinlog mysql-bin.000001 |tail -10| grep -w -A1 154 | grep -w "Stop" |awk '{print \$10}')
 echo \$end_pos;

if  [[ "$end_pos" == "*Stop*" ]];
 then
 echo "Loop succeed" >>./log_master.txt
 break
 else
  echo "loop failed" >>./log_master.txt
fi
exit;
ENDSSH

Reset to default

ssh -t -t username@hostname << ENDSSH
...
echo \$end_pos;

If you don't need to expand any variables from the outer shell to the here-doc that goes to SSH, you can use << "ENDSSH" with quotes around the delimiter, to have the here-doc taken as if a single-quoted string. Then you don't need to escape every $ sign within it.

if [ "$end_pos" == "*Stop*" ]; then

If you want to compare the value against *Stop* as a pattern, and not as a literal string, you need to use [[ .. ]] or the more standard case: 

if [[ $end_pos = *Stop* ]] ; then
    ...

# or
case "$end_pos" in 
    *Stop*) echo "stop found" ;;
    *) echo "stop not found" ;;
esac

Also, that break looks out of place, there is no loop. Bash will complain about that, but only if that part of the if-statement is executed. Two exits in a row seem a bit redundant, too.

  • Thanks for reply . but both ways it is not working. I have shown in edit part what i did after reading your comment Commented May 18, 2017 at 6:08
  • @user21546, you don't have the quotes around the ENDSSH keyword, you only removed the escapes from the $s. Which means the variable gets expanded by the script calling ssh, and it doesn't have a value there, so you get empty. I meant you could write ssh -t ... << "ENDSSH" (or << 'ENDSSH'), literally, with the quotes. But it doesn't matter, if you leave the terminator unquoted, then just escape the $s, as in your original code. That part is just a style issue. Commented May 18, 2017 at 7:38

I have done this in below way :

#!/bin/bash
ssh -t -t username@hostname << ENDSSH
 cd /logs
 echo "8. We are in SSH mode now" >./log_master.txt
end_pos=\$(/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqlbinlog mysql-bin.000001 |tail -10| grep -w -A1 154 | grep -w "Stop" |awk '{print \$10}')
 echo \$end_pos;

if  [[ "$end_pos" =~ Stop ]];
 then
 echo "Loop succeed" >>./log_master.txt
 else
 echo "loop failed" >>./log_master.txt
fi   
exit;
ENDSSH
