Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I have to send a processed file to 24 different server locations. I feel, if this job can be done parallel in the background - Time will come down.

I found the script to FTP the file for a single server location through past Unix posts as below:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
ftp -v -n "ipaddress" 
user "Username" "Username"

cd /distant/directory
put filename
If error >> ${LOG}
mail -x john@gmail.com -s FTP failed to the server ${ipaddress}
else
echo "FTP Successful to the server ${ipaddress} >> ${LOG}
quit

How to automate the script to send the Source File to Different FTP Locations.

For eg: If I create a file with all the 24 different FTP Target Locations in "Filelist.txt" as below:

Code:

Filelist.txt:
------------
ipaddress,Username,password
172.90.232.1,john,john
172.90.232.2,john,john
172.90.232.3,john,john
172.90.232.4,john,john
.
.
.
172.90.232.24,john,john

And pass the above file values as parameters to the original FTP Script script.

Can some one help me how to implement this solution in Unix scripting will be appreciated.

Thanks,
