There was a one character typo in that one.  Corrected script is:


#!/bin/bash
# yum-update-and-wiki-update.sh
# Backs up the mediawiki and then runs yum update and updates wiki.
# Optional parameter is backup directory.

# Global config variables
DEFAULTBACKUPDIR="/usr/local/backup/mediawiki"  # Default location
BACKUPDIR=${1:-"$DEFAULTBACKUPDIR"}
WIKIDIR="/usr/share/mediawiki"
WIKIUPDATER="maintenance/update.php"

# Back up the wiki
backup-wiki.sh "$BACKUPDIR"

# Run yum update
sudo yum update -y

# Run the PHP script to update the wiki database
cd "$WIKIDIR" && php $WIKIUPDATER
