How to use while loop to check condition in linux?

问题:

I have to do something like this :

while ( condition)

do
 wait 

I have to do this is in linux. While the state of snapshot is pending it should wait.

Content of ec2-describe snapshot is :

SNAPSHOT    snap-c7f3   vol-f6a0    completed   2013-12-04T09:24:50+0000    100%    109030037527    10  2013-12-04: Daily Backup for SaMachine (VolID:vol-f09a0 InstID:i-2604)
SNAPSHOT    snap-c7df9  vol-3f6b    completed   2013-12-04T09:24:54+0000    100%    109030037527    10  2013-12-04: Daily Backup for sa_test_VPC (VolID:vol-3InstID:i-e1c46)

How to do this? How should I use grep and all that ?

#!/bin/bash

回答1:

Writing that while loop is as simple as this:

while ec2-describe-snapshots | grep -q '^SNAPSHOT.*pending'
do
    echo "There are pending SNAPSHOTs, waiting..."
    sleep 10
done
echo "No pending SNAPSHOTs."


回答2:

until ec2-describe-snapshots | grep -q ' completed '
do
    echo "snapshot is pending, still waiting..."
    sleep 10
done
echo "snapshot completed."

If you need all the snapshots to be completed, you could use instead:

until ! ec2-describe-snapshots | grep -q ' pending '
do
    echo "snapshot is pending, still waiting..."
    sleep 10
done
echo "snapshot completed."

UPDATE

And, to handle also no output case:

until [ -n "`ec2-describe-snapshots`" ]
do
    echo "snapshot not yet started, still waiting..."
    sleep 10
done
until ! ec2-describe-snapshots | grep -q ' pending '
do
    echo "snapshot is pending, still waiting..."
    sleep 10
done
echo "snapshot completed."

If you can put it in a shellscript, here's how i'd do it.

Edit

So after reading your current code this is what i would do. You'll have to test it yourself though.

# This is where you're creating your snapshots...

# Setup the command.
command=`ec2-describe-snapshots | grep pending | wc -l`

# Check if we have any pending snapshots at all.
if [ $command == "0" ]
then
        echo "No snapshots are pending."
        ec2-describe-snapshots
else
        # Wait for the snapshot to finish.
        while [ $command != "0" ]
        do
                # Communicate that we're waiting.
                echo "There are $command snapshots waiting for completion."
                sleep 5

                # Re run the command.
                command=`ec2-describe-snapshots | grep pending | wc -l`
        done

        # Snapshot has finished.
        echo "Snapshots are finished."
fi       

# This is where you're writing snapshots to file...

Old script kept for reference

#!/bin/sh

waitForSnapshot() {
        # Make sure we actually passed a snapshot to grep for.
        if [ -n "$1" ]
        then
                # Setup the command.
                command=`ec2-describe-snapshots | grep $1 | awk '{print $4}'`

                # Wait for the snapshot to finish.
                while [ $command != "completed" ]
                do
                        sleep 1

                        # Re run the command.
                        command=`ec2-describe-snapshots | grep $1 | awk '{print $4}'`
                done

                # Snapshot has finished.
                echo "Snapshot '$1' has finished."
        else
                echo "No snapshot was passed to us."
        fi

}

waitForSnapshot "snap-c7f3"
