Hello sir , Sir i copied your script same as but it execute else statement that backup configuration file not found! But i created a file in archive folder and give permission as well but it execute again else statement and not accessing the file which in archive folder. Kindly tell how i do it?
Hi sir , What is that source "$backup_config_file" for validation? you said. What does that mean? Is that command in linux? What if we don't use that validation. Little bit confused Elaborate little bit.... Thanks
Hi Ganesh, it is not linux "backup_config_file" = is variable name and in Linux to execute a variable we represent variable with "$backup_config_file" and this variable hold the value "/archive/backup_config.txt". When ever you will execute the variable it will look for the file "backup_config.txt" under path /archive.
The statement appears to be a combination of a shell command involving the -f test operator and the redirection of errors to /dev/null, along with a check on the exit status ($?). To clarify, let's break it down and correct any misunderstandings: if [-f ...]: The -f test operator in the if statement checks if a file exists and is a regular file. The syntax should include spaces around the brackets, like this: if [ -f ... ]. 2>/dev/null: This redirects the standard error (file descriptor 2) to /dev/null, effectively discarding any error messages. $? -eq 0: This checks if the exit status of the previous command is 0, indicating success. Putting this together, here's what a complete, corrected command might look like and how to explain it: if [ -f somefile ] 2>/dev/null; then # Commands to execute if the file exists and is a regular file fi Here's a detailed explanation of each part: if [ -f somefile ]: This checks if somefile exists and is a regular file. The spaces around the brackets are necessary for correct syntax in shell scripting. 2>/dev/null: This redirects any error messages that might be generated by the -f test (for example, if the file path is incorrect or inaccessible) to /dev/null, which is a special file that discards all data written to it. This means that any errors will not be displayed to the user. $? -eq 0: After the if [ -f somefile ] command runs, the exit status $? is checked. If it is 0, this means the test was successful (i.e., the file exists and is a regular file), and the then block will be executed. However, it's unusual to see 2>/dev/null directly within the if statement. Typically, error redirection and checking the exit status are handled separately. Here's a more conventional way to achieve this: if [ -f somefile ] 2>/dev/null; then echo "File exists and is a regular file." else echo "File does not exist or is not a regular file." fi Or, more commonly, you might see error checking handled like this: if [ -f somefile ]; then echo "File exists and is a regular file." else echo "File does not exist or is not a regular file." fi 2>/dev/null This structure makes it clear that the if statement checks the condition, and the redirection ensures that any errors are silenced, with the then or else block executed based on the condition.

Check this video already their in my playlist for linux fresher and AWS fresher resume I will publish soon. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CVkG5UGIyis.html
Yes sir, please continue this series.. Thank you so much sir... I was waiting to start bash shall scripting that when will you start ___now finely you have started this....😊
Sure ....more videos of Shell scripting is in pipeline and I have also aws and devops tools video with Realtime project is in pipeline. I am working on everyone request to fulfil soon. Share these videos with more and people so that we can grow this channel faster and i can focus more towards RU-vid.
