  • Why doesn't systemctl restart,status sshd; work?

    3 answers



i have recently learned how can i use curly braces to run multiple commands using curly braces
for example, i can create 10 files like this,



touch 1..10.txt


or file with odd names,



touch 1..10..2


I can also restart multiple process like,



systemctl restart app9-server,client,test


above command will restart services called, app9-server , app9-client and app9-test



now i have a command with a space in it,



vagrant destroy app9
vagrant up app9
vagrant ssh app9


how can i run above 3 commands using braces?



I tried,



vagrant destroy app9,up app9,ssh app9


and



vagrant destroy,up,ssh app9


but none of them actually works.



Can someone please tell me how can i run these commands using braces?

    So you need to run those as separate commands, and brace expansion won't help much with that. See dupe^

In none of the cases where you use curly braces in your question are you running multiple commands.



touch 1..10.txt


runs one command on 10 files:



touch 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt 4.txt 5.txt 6.txt 7.txt 8.txt 9.txt 10.txt


The command



systemctl restart app9-server,client,test


is still just one command:



systemctl restart app9-server app9-client app9-test


Brace expansion is used to perform a simple text expansion of one or several strings in a single command.



The three tasks you want to perform must be three separate commands. You may do this in a loop if you wish:



for cmd in destroy up ssh; do
vagrant "$cmd" app9
done

    Try:



    eval 'vagrant 'destroy,up,ssh' app9;'


    Notice the quotes.
