I am using the following short BASH script running on a Raspberry PI 3B to monitor port 11005 for 1 and 0 strings on a PC within my network - it toggles a GPIO output to key an amateur radio morse code transmitter. After displaying "Start listening on Port 11005, I get the error message



morse2.sh 36:  morse2.sh:  Syntax error:  "(" unexpected.


I have tried a bunch of fixes - none work. Also, why does this script need nmap to run? I have nmap installed on the Raspberry pi - seems to run well.



#!/bin/bash

#be sure you have already installed nmap on your PI


PORT=11005
CW_PIN=25
echo "Start listening on port $PORT ..."
while read line
do

#echo $line
#echo $line | od -An -t uC

cmd=${line:0:1}

#echo $cmd
#echo $cmd | od -An -t uC

case "$cmd" in

0) #echo "000"
gpio write $CW_PIN 0
;;

1) #echo "111"
gpio write $CW_PIN 1
;;

3) echo "Going to stop listener ..."
break
;;

*) #echo "unknown cmd"
;;

esac

done < <((echo "Welcome. Please give me one of the following commands: 0 | 1 | 3") | ncat -k -l $PORT)
echo "... listener stopped."
exit 0

  • Where do I begin? (1) Does it actually say “morse2.sh” twice in the error message?  (2) Have you posted the complete script (i.e., the one that got that error message)?  (3) When you edit the script, which one is line 36?  (4) “Also, why does this script need nmap to run?”  Because it uses nmap.  Or is your question something more subtle than that?
