scripting - When running bash script that calls another script getting EOF error -

the other script read statement echo'ed file script

#!/usr/bin/bash #  createdb_wrapper.scr #  log information user of createdb.scr    default_dir=/export/home/cwatts/test  default_log=db.audit  while [ -z "${fname}" ]   echo "please, enter fullname [enter]:"  read fname  done 

tried various ways pull information other script dbname="./createdb.scr | awk '{print $1}'"

sh $dbname  while [ -z "${desc}" ]       echo "please,enter brief description [enter]:      read desc  done     #checks directory exists, , creates if not   if [ ! -d $default_dir ] ;then      echo "directory doesn't exit, created"      mkdir $default_dir  fi   echo `date -u` '|' $dbname '|'  $fname '|'  $desc >> $default_dir/$default_log  exit 

you forgot other quote:

echo "please,enter brief description [enter]: 

should be

echo "please,enter brief description [enter]:" 

i recommend form:

#!/bin/bash # # createdb_wrapper.scr # log information user of createdb.scr #  default_dir='/export/home/cwatts/test' default_log='db.audit'  until read -p "please, enter fullname [enter]: " fname && [[ -n $fname ]];     : done  until read -p "please,enter brief description [enter]: " desc && [[ -n $desc ]];     : done  if [[ -d $default_dir ]];     echo "directory not exist. created."     mkdir "$default_dir" fi  echo "$(exec date -u) | $dbname | $fname | $desc" >> "$default_dir/$default_log" 

note: $dbname not set.
