When I execute a script in a Linux shell, I get this output:
dquote> What does this mean?
968
What does dquote> means? If you have a double-quote in your command and you do not close it and execute the command, you end up in dquote, what it means is that shell is waiting for a closing double-quote.
Description. DQUOTE( ) finds the first double quote mark in the string and returns all characters from that point, until a second double quote mark is found. If the string does not contain at least two double quote marks, a null string is returned.
Commands are invoked by naming them. Most Linux commands are simply programs which are executed by the shell. For example, to run the ls command which reads the the current directory and lists the names of its files the following would be used.
In the Terminal app on your Mac, in the window running the shell process you want to quit, type exit , then press Return.
It means you've executed a line of code with only one double-quote character, like this:
echo "Hello The shell is waiting for the other quote.
