In my project, I want to find the max number with shell.



here is my shell code:



jobnuminit=0

for i in $(cat jobidtmp)
do
jobnum=`bjobs -l $i | grep Start| awk '{print $8}'`
echo $jobnum
if [ $jobnum -gt $jobnuminit ]
then
jobnuminit=$jobnum
fi
done

echo $jobnuminit


And the value of jobnum should be:



144
144
8

8
8
12
