/usr/local/sbin/f000.sh line 10 too many arguments

Hi,

I am using c0010.pp for f0000.sh According to my understanding f0000.sh which is under scripts will be executed and provided the output(pass or fail) under /usr/local/sbin/ as f000.sh. But for me the f000.sh under scripts is just copiying the file and placing it under /usr/local/sbin. And when I execute just f0000.sh it is throwing me error.

!/bin/sh

 13   else

/usr/local/sbin/f000.sh: line 10: [: too many arguments

Please help me

If you change line 10 to

if [ "x$COMMAND" = "x" ];

does it work?

Let me know

It doesn't look like you're copying and pasting the code. For instance there is no space between [ and "

Can you please copy and paste the code below and run that?

#!/bin/sh

# This script is used by the cis Puppet module.
# For the latest version see https://github.com/arildjensen/cis-puppet/

COMMAND=`grep ^password /boot/grub/grub.conf 2>/dev/null`

if [ "x$COMMAND" = "x" ]; 
  then 
    echo fail; 
  else 
    echo pass;
fi

I think this is working now. Please re-open if you can reproduce.
