rhel_major=$(grep -Eoh [0-9]+\.[0-9]+ /etc/{issue,*release} | head -1 | awk -F'.' '{ print $$1 }')
rhel_minor=$(grep -Eoh [0-9]+\.[0-9]+ /etc/{issue,*release} | head -1 | awk -F'.' '{ print $$2 }')
rhel_release_code=$(echo $$(($(rhel_major) << 8 | $(rhel_minor))))
For rhel_release_code I get a syntax error
rhel_release_code=$(echo $$(("$(rhel_major)" << 8 | $(rhel_minor))))
-bash: command substitution: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
-bash: command substitution: line 1: `echo $$(("$(rhel_major)" << 8 | $(rhel_minor)))'
Any idea why it throws that error?
bash throws an error because it's not valid shell code. (It's also not valid awk code.)
Try this
rhel_major=$(grep -Eoh '[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' /etc/{issue,*release} | awk -F'.' '{ print $1; exit }')
rhel_minor=$(grep -Eoh '[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' /etc/{issue,*release} | awk -F'.' '{ print $2; exit }')
rhel_release_code=$((rhel_major << 8 | rhel_minor))
If you don't actually want the $rhel_major and $rhel_minor values you could calculate $rhel_release directly in one step using awk.
