Grep命令的输出，并在“ if”语句中使用它，bash

Question

Okay so here's another one about the StarMade server.

Previously I had this script for detecting a crash, it would simply search through the logs:

#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
if ( grep "[SERVER] SERVER SHUTDOWN" log.txt.0); then
sleep 7; kill -9 $(ps -aef | grep -v grep | grep 'StarMade.jar' | awk '{print $2}')
fi

It would find "[SERVER] SERVER SHUTDOWN" and kill the process after that, however this is not a waterproof method, because with different errors it could be possible that the message doesn't appear, rendering this script useless.

So I have this tool that can send commands to the server, but returns an EOF exception when the server is in a crashed state. I basically want to grab the output of this command, and use it in the if-statement above, instead of the current grep command, in such a way that it would execute the commands below when the grep finds "java.io.EOFException".

I could make it write the output to a file and then grep it from there, but I wonder, isn't there a better/more efficient method to do this?

EDIT: okay, so after a bit of searching I put together the following:

if ( java -jar /home/starmade/StarMade/StarNet.jar xxxxx xxxxx /chat) 2>&1 > /dev/null |grep java.io.EOFException);

Would this be a valid if-statement? I need it to match "java.io.EOFException" in the output of the first command, and if it matches, to execute something with "then" (got that part working).

Not sure to solve your problem, but this line:

ps -aef | grep -v grep | grep 'StarMade.jar' | awk '{print $2}'

could be change to

ps -aef | awk '/[S]tarMade.jar/ {print $2}'

The [S] prevents awk from finding itself.

Or just like this to get the pid

pidof StarMade.jar
