Hello everyone,

Coming here today because i'm facing a problem with curator in a bash script to execute multiple action file.

Here body's script :

> PATH\_CONFIG="/applis/curator/config/curator-integration.yml"  
> PATH\_ACTION="/applis/curator/actions/param\_actions\_2.lst"  
> PATH\_INDEX="/applis/curator/index"
> 
> FILE=($(cat $PATH\_ACTION))
> 
> for i in "${FILE[@]}";  
> do  
> /opt/elasticsearch-curator/curator "--config" $PATH\_CONFIG $i  
> done

Curator error returned :

Usage: curator [OPTIONS] ACTION\_FILE

" does not exist.lue for "action\_file": Path "/applis/curator/index/coveauth/mensuel/maaf-coveauth-index-close.yml  
Usage: curator [OPTIONS] ACTION\_FILE

> " does not exist.lue for "action\_file": Path "/applis/curator/index/coveauth/mensuel/maaf-coveauth-index-delete.yml  
> Usage: curator [OPTIONS] ACTION\_FILE
> 
> " does not exist.lue for "action\_file": Path "/applis/curator/index/reseau/journalier/maaf-bluecoat-index-close.yml  
> Usage: curator [OPTIONS] ACTION\_FILE
> 
> " does not exist.lue for "action\_file": Path "/applis/curator/index/reseau/journalier/maaf-bluecoat-index-delete.yml

Any of my files/files path are good, right on them are good too, if i replace all vars by path, it work.. so i'm in trouble and i don't know how to solve this.

I'm open to any suggestion if someone encountered this kind of errors..

Thanks in advance for reading.
