Conversion from PS to PDF in Shell Script fails

Post by bjoern »

Hello,

I'm new in LaTeX and try to create invoices automatically per month.

I wrote a little shell script with do some logical things, now, I don't know why, my shell script crashes by ps2pdf.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
#

SOURCE=control_file
TARGET=invoices
TEX=becker-it_invoice.tex
TIMESTAMP=`date +%s`

if [ ! -e $SOURCE ]
then
	echo "$SOURCE existiert nicht"
	exit
fi

if [ -e LOCKED ]
then
	echo "System ist blockiert"
	exit 1
fi

if [ `find . -maxdepth 1 -name 'new_invoice*' | wc -l` -gt 0 ]
then
	rm new_invoice*
fi

export IFS=$'\n'

for CUSTOMER in `cat $SOURCE`
do
	name=`echo $CUSTOMER | cut -d';' -f 1`
	firma=`echo $CUSTOMER | cut -d';' -f 2`
	strasse=`echo $CUSTOMER | cut -d';' -f 3`
	ort=`echo $CUSTOMER | cut -d';' -f 4`
	summe=`echo $CUSTOMER | cut -d';' -f 4`
	pos1=`echo $CUSTOMER | cut -d';' -f 5`
	pos1_eur=`echo $CUSTOMER | cut -d';' -f 6`
	pos2=`echo $CUSTOMER | cut -d';' -f 7`
	pos2_eur=`echo $CUSTOMER | cut -d';' -f 8`

	cp $TEX new_invoice_${TIMESTAMP}_${TEX}
	TEX=`echo new_invoice_${TIMESTAMP}_${TEX} | sed 's/\.tex//g'`

	sed -i "s/%%FIRMA/$firma/g" $TEX.tex
	sed -i "s/%%STRASSE/$strasse/g" $TEX.tex
	sed -i "s/%%ORT/$ort/g" $TEX.tex

	latex $TEX.tex
	dvips $TEX.dvi
	ps2pdf $TEX.ps

	if [ -e $TEX.pdf ]
	then
		if [ ! -e $TARGET/`date +%Y_%m`/$firma ]
		then
			mkdir -p $TARGET/`date +%Y_%m`/$firma/files
			ARCHIV=$TARGET/`date +%Y_%m`/$firma
			FILES=$TARGET/`date +%Y_%m`/$firma/files
		else
			ARCHIV=$TARGET/`date +%Y_%m`/$firma
			FILES=$TARGET/`date +%Y_%m`/$firma/files
		fi
		
		cp $TEX.pdf $ARCHIV
		if [ $? -eq 0 ]
		then
			rm $TEX*
		fi
	else
		echo "Beim erstellen der Rechnung `date +%Y_%m` $firma ist ein Fehler aufgetreten"
		touch LOCKED
		exit 1
	fi
done
The weird thing is that I can execute the command with success manually.

I receive a "Only -P or -P- is allowed.". It produces this log.

Any good reason why you are not compiling directly with PDFLaTeX?


Best regards and welcome to the board

I suggest to use pdflatex directly, too. It's a bit cleaner.

Additionally, there are some warnings in your letter. You should fix that, if all your letters are the same.

Best regards
Johannes
