Hi I have the following script for performing regression testing of two setups ...

scripts="/prod/quic/data/product/tools/scripts"
cd $cfgdir
ll $cfgfile >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 2 ] ; then
echo "CfgFile not found"
exit
fi

I have the script and input files in one machine hp961 . There are two seperate setups. One in hppa2 and another in hp961.

I have to proces files in both and compare them. ( well thats obvious)

I cannot place all my file sin the input together since the sequence in which they are processed shud be thesame. So i have used a loop to place the files in the respective inputs ( local and remote) one by one.

The problem I am facing is that when I place files and run the script I get the following error sometimes. But at other times the files are processed fine .


cp: cannot set the permission bits on product/dms300/preproc/input/67/U080823050069OCC: No such file or directory

Can someone please help me out.

Also I start numerous background processes in both machines (local and remote). I need all those processes to terminate once the script has finished running. Is there anyway?

I am blind now... There are [ code ] and [ /code ] tags to help display code properly.

You should echo your variables and check if the paths etc. are correct, for example those two for your copy here:
Also I recommend to use scp instead of rcp.

For the start of background processes from one machine, you could use ssh or rsh, better ssh
Also for killing them at once, you might use ssh again and something like:
Make sure you only get the processes you want, ie. leave the xargs out for a moment and check it.
