BASH script not creating variables properly

Hi all,

I have created a bash script that checks the status of a backup job by using. If I run the command from the commanline, it works perfectly. Via NAGIOS, it breaks as the variables are not getting created. I’ve run bash -x scrip on the commandline as well as in Nagios. The outputs are pasted below:

Working output:

  • . /etc/profile
    ++ ‘’ -d /etc/profile.d ‘]’
    ++ for i in ‘/etc/profile.d/.sh’
    ++ ‘’ -r '/etc/profile.d/    .sh’ ‘]’
    ++ unset i
    ++ ‘’ ‘’ ‘]’
    ++ umask 022
    ++ /usr/bin/head -n 1
    ++ /bin/nc 1.2.3.4 5678
  • export STATUS=0
  • STATUS=0
    ++ /usr/bin/tail -n 1
    ++ /bin/nc 1.2.3.4 5678
  • export DATE=1304658075
  • DATE=1304658075
  • ‘’ 0 = 0 ‘]’
  • /bin/echo 'OK: Data transfered successfully’
    OK: Data transfered successfully
  • exit 0

Output when run in Nagios:

  • . /etc/profile
    ++ ‘’ -d /etc/profile.d ‘]’
    ++ for i in ‘/etc/profile.d/.sh’
    ++ ‘’ -r '/etc/profile.d/    .sh’ ‘]’
    ++ unset i
    ++ ‘’ ‘’ ‘]’
    ++ umask 022
    ++ /usr/bin/head -n 1
    ++ /bin/nc 1.2.3.4 5678
  • export STATUS=
  • STATUS=
    ++ /usr/bin/tail -n 1
    ++ /bin/nc 1.2.3.4 5678
  • export DATE=
  • DATE=
  • ‘’ ‘’ = 0 ‘]’
  • ‘’ ‘’ = 1 ‘]’
  • ‘’ ‘’ = 2 ‘]’
  • ‘’ ‘’ = 4 ‘]’
  • /bin/echo 'Not Working’
    Not Working
  • exit 3

Can anyone help here? Been struggling with this for hours now :frowning: Thanks!
