How can i set a Environment Variable in my Unix script ?
Below is the code that I have, where I need to replace a server name with the hostname of the box I logged into, can someone please help? The below script is not working as expected, I might be doing something correct, may be?
server=$(hostname)
echo $server
for file in $(find /home/ace/ -type f)
do
sed 's/acee123/$server/g' $file > $file.tmp
mv $file.tmp $file
done
server=$(hostname)
echo $server
for file in $(find /home/ace/ -type f)
do
sed 's/acee123/$server/g' $file > $file.tmp
mv $file.tmp $file
done
