I have the following script:

/bin/sh

echo  "Compare Ran" $(date) >> /var/log/ran.log

if cmp -s "/var/log/ip.log" "/etc/wanip.log"

then

   echo "Wan Check Ran" | /var/log/ran.log

else

   echo "WARNING IP CHANGE" | sendmail *********@email.****.net

fi

If the 2 files don't match the script works great but if the 2 files match I get the following output:

/var/log/ran.log: 1: /var/log/ran.log: wanip.sh: not found

/var/log/ran.log: 2: /var/log/ran.log: wanip.sh: not found

I can not for the life of me figure out why the script seems to be "reading" the ran.log file if the 2 files are the same.

Any Ideas?

This line of code is trying to execute '/var/log/ran.log' as a script

echo "Wan Check Ran" | /var/log/ran.log

While I believe that you want to add the string "Wan Check Ran" to the log. Therefore you should

echo "Wan Check Ran" >> /var/log/ran.log
