i have a file named “Output_File.txt” containing a list of local queues and i want to write a script to delete those queues. what i wrote is:
JavaScript
x
queuelist=`wc -l Output_File.txt | awk -F ' ' '{print $1}'`
for (( currentline=1; currentline<=queuelist; currentline++ ))
do
currentqueue=`awk -v x="$currentline" 'NR==x {print $1}' Output_File.txt
echo "delete qlocal( $currentqueue )" | runmqsc
done
echo "the queues were deleted"
exit 0
the problem is that the script does delete the queues but prints for every deleted queue the following output:
JavaScript
1 : delete qlocal ( -queue_name- )
AMQ8007: WEBSPHERE MQ QUEUE DELETED.
NO COMMANDS HAVE SYNTAX ERROR.
ALL VALID MQSC COMMAND WERE PROCESSED.
how can i alter the code to delete the queues without printing the output above? thanks.

Answer
just use echo "delete qlocal( $currentqueue )" | runmqsc > /dev/null
inside your for loop to direct all output of that command to blackhole /dev/null
