[SOLVED] Need help combining two ksh scripts

[wesley_morris2000]

I have two scripts on a production solaris box to check and clear the print queue. I want to combine these to make my job a lot easier. I always script in python, but this machine doesn't have it and I don't have rights to install it. Any help on putting these two together will be greatly appreciated!!!

Script 1 (checks queue):

#!/bin/ksh
#
PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH; export PATH
#
#
TB_TITLE () {
clear
echo " "
echo "\t\t\t\t\t Thomas & Betts"
echo " "
echo "\t\t\t\t\tPrint Queue Depth Monitor"
echo "\t\t\t\t\t `hostname`"
echo " "; }
#
TB_CHOICE_ACT () {
echo " "
echo "\t\t\t\tPlease choose from the following-:"
echo " "
echo "\t\t\t\t1) Check Print Queue Current Jobs."
echo "\t\t\t\t2) Exit the Monitor System."
echo " "
read CHOICE_ACT?" Enter 1 or 2 (default is 2)- "
echo " "
if [ ! $CHOICE_ACT ]
then
CHOICE_ACT=2
fi
}
#
TB_CHOICE_QUEUE () {
echo " "
echo "\t\t\t\tName of the queue you would like to check."
echo " "
read CHOICE_QUEUE?" Enter Queue (default is all queu
es)- "
echo " "
}
#
#
TB_TITLE
TB_CHOICE_ACT
#
while [ $CHOICE_ACT -ne 2 ]
do
#
TB_TITLE
TB_CHOICE_QUEUE
#
x=1;
export x
#
CHOICE_EXIST=`grep "$CHOICE_QUEUE:" /etc/printers.conf | wc -l`;
export CHOICE_EXIST
#
clear
#
if [ $CHOICE_EXIST -gt 0 ]
then
#
echo " "
echo "Current Print Queue Jobs for the $CHOICE_Q
UEUE queue at `date`"
sleep 2
echo " "
echo "Please wait ..."
echo " "
sleep 2
PRINT_JOBS=`lpstat -o $CHOICE_QUEUE | wc -l`
export PRINT_JOBS
if [ $PRINT_JOBS -gt 0 ]
then
lpstat -o $CHOICE_QUEUE
else
echo " "
echo "No print jobs queued on $C
HOICE_QUEUE."
echo " "
sleep 10
fi
#
echo " "
#
sleep 10
#
TB_TITLE
TB_CHOICE_ACT
else
TB_TITLE
echo " "
echo "\t\t\t\tPrinter Queue choice does not exis
t."
sleep 10
fi
done
echo " "


Script 2 (Clears Queue):

#!/bin/ksh
#

underoff=`tput rmul`
alloff=`tput sgr0`
bold=`tput smso`

#
echo " "
echo " "
echo "This will ask for a print queue name and clear all jobs from that queue."
echo " "
#
sleep 0;}
#
CHOOSE_QUEUE () {
#
PRNQUEUE=zzz.foo.zzz; export P
RNQUEUE
#
while [ $PRNQUEUE != "exit" ] && [ `grep $PRNQUEUE /etc/printers.conf | wc -l` -
lt 1 ]
do
clear
TB_TITLE
echo "Please enter the printer queue name. This will repeat unti

echo "PRINTER QUEUE is given. To quit the facility, please type

sleep 1

I'm kinda busy and can't take the time to actually do coding for you, but I have three alternative suggestions.

1. Use cat to combine the two scripts into a third script, and run that instead of the other two.
   
   Or:
2. If the two scripts are at /complete/path/fred and /complete/path/barney, create a script with the following content, and make it executable:
   

   /complete/path/fred
   /complete/path/barney

   Or:
3. If you want to ask for a queue name only once, and then do two or more operations with that queue, then inspect the scripts. Actually get your fingernails dirty with ksh scripting. If you're already familiar with php, that means you have some programming skills, and you may not find it all that difficult to pick up a little street ksh knowledge. If you have a question about how ksh works in a particular situation and you can't figure it out yourself, you might get a useful answer if you come back here. You might also benefit by googling this:

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the reply. I know python pretty well. I'll do some research and maybe get the syntax down. Thanks again!!!

Oops; python, not php. My bad! (*grumble grumble new-fangled languages, can't keep 'em all straight, get off my lawn grumble grumble*)
