Issue
I'm trying to make a script that enables proxy settings if the /etc/environment file is currently empty and disables the settings if the file has text. I've written some code but not sure why the /etc/environment file is not being edited. I have blanked out the actual proxies I am using. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
#!/bin/bash
if [ -s /etc/environment ]
then
cat<<EOT >> /etc/environment
http_proxy="blank"
https_proxy="blank"
ftp_proxy="blank"
export http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy
EOT
else
> /etc/environment
fi
Solution
You can also move the here document to the if
statement itself.
if [ -s /etc/environment ]; then
cat
fi <<EOT >> /etc/environment
http_proxy="blank"
https_proxy="blank"
ftp_proxy="blank"
export http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy
EOT
although if the if
statement itself is indented, you'll still want to know how to indent the here document as Cyrus explains.
