I'm writing a simple script to download a file from a website using wget. Wget is installed and works in a small script but when added to a much larger script it doesn't work and the command line returns "line 31: wget: No such file or directory" (I deleted some unnecessary commenting so the error proly is no longer on line 31 but is still there.)
Here is the simple script that works fine:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo some stuff
FLAG=1
if [ $FLAG = 1 ];
then
eval wget http://zvbxrpl.org/index.html
fi
and here is the code that I receive the error on.
The basics of the code are to try the base filename and if the download for that filename is unsuccessful to try a filename with a letter added on to the end.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# argument list 1) date in mdy format 2) path to file folder where file should exist 3) login 4) password

then echo We need the date as an argument.

#if file doesn't exist then increment to a b c d

while [ ! -e /home/nicky/$filename ] && [ $STOPFLAG -ne 1 ]
do

echo $filename
let "index += 1"
