Errors in startup script plz help

[sybella1]

Hi All,

I am a newly registered member and new to php and linux!

I'm having problems with a script that starts the 'mobinterface' at system startup on suse 9.1.
I want to run a 'mobinterface' every time the system starts.

This is what i have done:

I added "/usr/local/bin/mobinterface_start" to the 'boot.local' file. I added both 'mobinterface' and 'mobinterface_start' to the directory "/usr/local/bin/" (like so:/usr/local/bin/mobinterface and /usr/local/bin/mobinterface_start).

This is what i have in the 'mobinterface_start':

code:

#!/bin/bash

mobinterface should be in PATH eg:/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin

fixing PATH to hold it

export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH

mobinterface &

And in the 'mobinterface':

code:

#!/bin/bash

PHP_BIN="/usr/bin/php";
DAEMON="/home/mobinterface/public_html/daemon.php";

COMMAND="$PHP_BIN -q $DAEMON"

RETURN=$COMMAND

if [ $RETURN != "REFRESHED" ]; then
echo "PHP binary does not execute daemon correctly"
exit 1
fi

while true
do
$COMMAND >/dev/null 2>&1
sleep 20s
done

The problem is that the system returns an error at startup:

/usr/local/bin/mobinterface:line 10 [ too many arguments

Any suggestions on the above error plz?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

regards;

sybella
