| 16:08.10 | AnneC | :-D |
| 16:08.35 | wethrin | I don't think it's Leeds that's getting married |
| 16:08.50 | niv_one_three | wethrin: hi, small err code question? |
| 16:09.13 | wethrin | ask on-channel. Then others might be able to help too |
| 16:09.21 | niv_one_three | say I run mount , and the next line I wan to test the exit code |
| 16:09.41 | niv_one_three | first line reads mount /backup |
| 16:09.48 | *** join/#gllug AnneC_ (n=AnneC@cmarfw01.marlow.spinvox.com) |
| 16:10.01 | niv_one_three | second line: if [ -z $? ] ; then |
| 16:10.19 | niv_one_three | and the third line : echo boo |
| 16:10.20 | AnneC_ | no, it's not wet ;-) |
| 16:10.20 | wethrin | easier: |
| 16:10.42 | wethrin | if mount ; then echo 'Yay'; else echo 'Boo'; fi |
| 16:10.44 | niv_one_three | so in case the mount is in order I should see boo - right? |
| 16:11.20 | wethrin | No - -z tests if a string length is 0 |
| 16:11.21 | niv_one_three | may I : if mount /backup ; then ... |
| 16:11.24 | niv_one_three | ? |
| 16:11.33 | wethrin | yeah |
| 16:11.41 | niv_one_three | cool |
| 16:11.42 | niv_one_three | thnaks |
| 16:12.10 | wethrin | $ if mount /backup ; then echo 'Yay'; else echo 'Boo'; fi |
| 16:12.11 | wethrin | mount: can't find fstab entry for /backup. |
| 16:12.11 | wethrin | Boo |
| 16:12.38 | hali | i would work with retval |
| 16:12.44 | hali | to catch different errors |
| 16:13.12 | pawel | :-S |
| 16:13.45 | wethrin | well, depends what you want :) If the task is just to check whether or not something mounts... |
| 16:14.01 | wethrin | AnneC_: Wrong channel? |
| 16:14.14 | wethrin | I believe your response should've gone over -----> there |
| 16:15.20 | hali | in #gllug-cyber |
| 16:15.48 | wethrin | ! |
| 16:16.10 | wethrin | Gah. I hate presentations |
| 16:16.54 | hali | i quite like them somtimes, "you need to increase my budget with 800% because ......" |
| 16:17.03 | wethrin | I don't get that joy :) |
| 16:17.12 | hali | as long as noone brings out a laser pointer ... i just *hate* those |
| 16:17.18 | wethrin | They're fun! |
| 16:17.30 | wethrin | specially green ones |
| 16:18.19 | hali | we where close to buying this online backup service once, last presentation before signing the guy start waving a laser pointer around... both me and my boss just looked at eachother and politly ended the meeting... |
| 16:18.50 | AnneC_ | s/wet/wethrin/ |
| 16:18.59 | AnneC_ | sorry wethrin half paying attention - your name completion... |
| 16:19.03 | wethrin | Ahhh :) |
| 16:19.19 | wethrin | It just looked appropriate for the Perl mongers channel |
| 16:22.07 | AnneC_ | he he what are they up to today :-D |
| 16:22.23 | wethrin | the usual nefarious dealings |
| 16:22.47 | hali | probably talking about spliffs and talking about writing a new loop construct |
| 16:23.08 | hali | or generally bad mouthing lager |
| 16:23.16 | wethrin | lager sucks |
| 16:23.21 | wethrin | real beer FTW |
| 16:23.32 | hali | i can't say i'm a big fan of lager... but i don't mind people drinking it |
| 16:23.43 | hali | i'm currently favouring tt's landlord |
| 16:24.06 | wethrin | Landlord is a lovely pint when served well |
| 16:24.13 | wethrin | It's an okay pint when served badly |
| 16:24.44 | hali | the princess on paul street (shoreditch) serve it well |

| 18:51.37 | niv_one_three | whenever my folks get an error today, I ssh to then and port forwad a vnc port |

| 18:53.15 | niv_one_three | but I can't use it |

| 23:29.27 | YeoYeo | No I'm newbie, found Linox and gllug |
| 23:29.44 | z00dax | the other way would be to keep an eye on www.gllug.org.uk - the details should get posted there as soon as things are finalised |
