Java File Missing When Grabbing Files from SFTP Server using SCP Command
Hi,

I have this problem where sometimes my files would go missing when I schedule my crontab to run the SCP command to get file from the SFTP server.

My crontab will run the scripts at an interval of 3 minutes (between the two scripts) The following is the setting in my crontab.

0,6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54 0-8 * *
1-6 /usr/alliance/scripts/script1
3,9,15,21,27,33,39,45,51,57 0-8 * * 1-6 /usr/alliance/scripts/script2

After I've done the testing, I checked on the log and I found this message:-
>>>> Wed Dec 24 03:25:58 TAIST 2008 Start of SCP RECEIVE ..
mttest1.good | 8B | 0.0 kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100%
total 8
-rw------- 1 scpus33 alliance 8 Dec 24 03:27 mttest1.good
<<<< Wed Dec 24 03:26:09 TAIST 2008 End of SCP RECEIVE ...

but the weird thing is, the file mttest1.good was not in my unix server.

This is the log of the file that was successfully transferred to my unix server:-

>>>> Wed Dec 24 05:48:00 TAIST 2008 Start of SCP RECEIVE ..
total 8
-rw------- 1 scpus33 alliance 8 Dec 24 05:48 mttest6.good
<<<< Wed Dec 24 05:48:10 TAIST 2008 End of SCP RECEIVE ...

Hope somebody can help me with this problem.

gingervitus,

Did you try to simulate and run the script manually to check if the script is putting the data in the right location?

If you can paste the script code here it will be better to analyze and troubleshoot your problem.

Cheers
