I've got a bit of a technical question about doing scripts. I've created a script that I use for expediting changes to one of my servers to save me a large number or repetitive steps that I have to do. My question is this though. Using either Pico or VI I need to be able to have the script know if I've saved/changed the file or if I just exited out without saving my changes. Cause if I exited out without saving changes, I want it to abort the rest of the script, but if I changed any one of my config files, I want it to then complete the rest of the script. Anyone know how to do this via a shell script?
