bashco / runthenumbers Goto Github PK

This script always requires configuration for the RPC credentials and node location, but then once done could be more easily re-used by making the target blocknumber a parm on the script rather than having to edit the script.

Simple change at Line 13 to set the string to "$1" enables this; then the usual error checking required.

When running the script i get an unexpected operator after username, password and blockheight,

645560/645561: 1 blocks remaining
runthenumbers.sh: 22: [: user**: unexpected operator
runthenumbers.sh: 22: [: password**: unexpected operator
runthenumbers.sh: 32: [: 645560: unexpected operator

Its does actually count down still to the target block but when reached it does this

runthenumbers.sh: 32: [: 645560: unexpected operator
runthenumbers.sh: 22: [: 4PhazNaPZDeqdu87W: unexpected operator
runthenumbers.sh: 22: [: user: unexpected operator
runthenumbers.sh: 22: [: password**: unexpected operator
runthenumbers.sh: 32: [: 645561: unexpected operator

It never calls gettxoutsetinfo.

Ubuntu LTS20.04 uses Python 3.8 as the default version which means the default script fails when invoking "python". This is easily rectified by altering the the "python" invocations (lines 30 and 34) to "python3".

Not sure if this is best resolved with an addendum to README or attempting to identify the active python version and then invoke appropriately.. because RTFM always works so well right?
