Firstly, I would like to admit that I am a scripting newb.
Now, to my question:
I am writing a script that FTPs a bunch of logs from one server to another, it will be scheduled in Cron to run every 20 minutes.
Currently, the file transfer part of the script is fine. However, when the logs are transferred from server A to B, I want to delete the copies on server A, but I am unable to get the return code.
Here is my script so far:
Code:
#
# 22-11-2005
# John
# T&A Website
#
# Automates the FTP transfer of logs from A to B.
#
cd /x/logs/TAWEB
ftp -nv star-d << !
quote USER test
quote PASS testpass
cd /x/logs/TAWEB
mput *
if [[ $? ]]; then
echo FTP_OK!
rm DAILY*
rm STATS*
else
echo FTP_FAIL!
fi
quit
!
However, I am getting the error:
Code:
....
?Invalid command
....
multiple times (once for each log that exists).
As far as I knew, $? is the variable where the last return code was stored, but it doesn't seem to be working in this case.
I'm not sure how to check if the transfer was a success or not.
