From grep --help
, but also see man grep:
Exit status is 0 if any line was selected, 1 otherwise;
if any error occurs and -q was not given, the exit status is 2.
if grep --quiet MYSQL_ROLE=master /etc/aws/hosts.conf; then
echo exists
else
echo not found
fi
You may want to use a more specific regex, such as ^MYSQL_ROLE=master$
, to avoid that string in comments, names that merely start with "master", etc.
This works because the if takes a command and runs it, and uses the return value of that command to decide how to proceed, with zero meaning true and non-zero meaning false—the same as how other return codes are interpreted by the shell, and the opposite of a language like C.
