Running omshell from a Shell Script

[Martin McCormick]

	I am testing a bash script which is similar to one which
someone posted earlier and it fails unusually under FreeBSD.  It kind
of has the earmarks of a timing issue, but I am not sure.

	Here is a shell script that shuts down a failover peer or
would if it could only connect.

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
# ARG1 Address of DHCP SERVER
#Read in these values from the named file.
. $HOME/keys/omshell.conf
#Set up the here document.
cat << EOF |omshell
server $1
port $MYPORT
key $KEY $SECRET
connect
new control
set state = 00:00:00:02
open
update
EOF 

	What the output looks like:

> > > > dhcpctl_connect: not found
> not connected.
> no open object.
> not connected.
> not connected.
> <STDIN> line 1: unknown token: EOF
EOF 
^
> 

	If I do all those commands manually, it works as expected.

	This may be the wrong group for this question because it
appears to not be a problem with omapi but may be a problem with the
shell script.  It makes one wonder what would happen if one could slow
it down.  Any ideas are appreciated.
