**FIXED**
So right now i am trying to write a script for my work, and i am kind of a beginner at it. I am writing this shell script to compare some things in /dev/. What i am wanting the script to do is cd /dev/; do a ls -al and then grep for the cdrom. After this i want it to compare the link that is set to cdrom to let me know if it is for example the hda, hdb, sda, sdb or etc. Here is what i have so far.
#!/bin/sh
cd /dev
ls -al /dev/ | grep -F "cdrom "
if [ "cdrom " = "/dev/hda" ];
then echo "true"
else echo "false"
fi
I was just going to write a bunch of arguments like this to figure out what they are on. After i get so far with this i am going to have it write a string in the fstab, but i am not that far yet.
Can you guys help me out?
