Question on SCP and Mail command
Hey Guys,

I created a script where i am trying to do scp from one machine to another and then from another to another remote machine. I am having a log file also with the current date and time stamp in which i have been successful. I would like to delete the log files older than 30 days in which i have been successful also. My only problem is that how can i write an if statement if any one of the scp fails?

Meaning if my first scp fails then store a message in a log file that scp failed and send an email to appropriate person. same thing goes for second scp also. Anyone can help me out ?

Code:
EXIT_STATUS="?"
LOCAL_LOG_FILE="category_`date +%m%d%Y`.log"
date +"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S" >$LOCAL_LOG_FILE
scp -p /az/web/ezap.abc.com/docs/*.gif saloo:/az/web/vendornet.abc.com/docs/tester/bkup>$LOCAL_LOG_FILE 2>&1
scp -p recon:/az/web/vendornet.abc.com/docs/tester/mike/priceops/*.txt audi:/az/web/ezap.abc.com/docs
# if['$EXIT_STATUS != 0']
echo "File copied Successfully `date +%n%m/%d/%Y%n%H:%M:%S`" >>$LOCAL_LOG_FILE
find /home/test/bin -name 'category_[0-9][0-9]*.log' -atime +30 -exec 'rm' { } \;

try this -- but not tested
EXIT_STATUS="?"
LOCAL_LOG_FILE="category_`date +%m%d%Y`.log"
date +"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S" >$LOCAL_LOG_FILE
scp -p /az/web/ezap.abc.com/docs/*.gif saloo:/az/web/vendornet.abc.com/docs/tester/bkup>$LOCAL_LOG_FILE 2>&1

if [ $? != 0 ]; then
echo "error occurred"
mailx -s "Subject" "abc@abc.com" <<-EOT
scp failed
`date`
EOT

fi


scp -p recon:/az/web/vendornet.abc.com/docs/tester/mike/priceops/*.txt audi:/az/web/ezap.abc.com/docs

if [ $? != 0 ]; then
echo "error occurred"
mailx -s "Subject" "abc@abc.com" <<-EOT
scp failed
`date`
EOT

fi

echo "File copied Successfully `date +%n%m/%d/%Y%n%H:%M:%S`" >>$LOCAL_LOG_FILE
find /home/test/bin -name 'category_[0-9][0-9]*.log' -atime +30 -exec 'rm' { } \;

Thanks dude
Thanks dude. Well even if there is an error in any one of the SCP my log file is still generated. So i thought to add an if statement if the test pass then only log it .

Code:
 if [ $? >= 0]; then
 echo "File Transfer Successful"
 mailx -s "Scp Passed Successful" <<-EOT
 All the files havve been transfered successfully
 `date
 EOT
 echo "File copied Successfully `date +%n%m/%d/%Y%n%H:%M:%S`" >>$LOCAL_LOG_FILE
 fi

Nope still doing the same thing. My last if statement always executes even if there is an error also. But i need my last if statement to work only if both scp are successful..

Yes, I was thinking the same /similar thing......something like:

status=$?
if [status != 0]
then print "$(date) File copy to blah failed" > logfile.log
