Please to be inform you,I have posted one thread on this forum last 5 days back. I was not getting suggestions for my thread. So i am creating a new thread with detailed of my R&D.

I am new in Shell Scripts, Perl and Cron Jobs. I have one requirement in Cron jobs for FTP Download. Presently i am

downloading around 600 MB files from ftp server manually in every monday. This will affect our internet bandwidth

during office hours. For avioding this, i am planning to schedule cron jobs for my download process.

Download Process to be performed in SUSE Linux. Becoz Downloaded files to be replaced into that server only.

My requirement,

1) I have to stop my server before start the download process. I have given below scripts for stop server process

manually.

login as endeca
password end123

a)endeca# . .endeca_apt
b)endeca# cd bin/
c)endeca/bin# RunCommand apt_control.script apt_stop

a)endeca# . .endeca_auto
b)endeca# cd bin/
c)endeca/bin# RunCommand auto_control.script auto_stop

a)endeca# . .endeca_chrome
b)endeca# cd bin/
c)endeca/bin# RunCommand chrome_control.script chrome_stop

a)endeca# . .endeca_babe
b)endeca# cd bin/
c)endeca/bin# RunCommand babe_control.script babe_stop

How can i write scripts with should be stopped my server process in differnt user?

2) I have to download files from four source folders Like /Source/Dumps1/*, /Source/Dumps2/*, /Source/Dumps2/*,

/Source/Dumps2/*. This will possible on root user only.

FTP Host is 10.10.10.100 port 21
user abc
password defgh

3) Downloaded files are replaced into my Destination folder like /space/endeca/apt/, /space/endeca/auto/,

/space/endeca/chrome/, /space/endeca/babe/ - This will possible on root user only. Is there need to delete the old

files in that four folders?

4) Once Files are moved into destination path. I have to change the ownership of that files like below

root# chown endeca:endeca /space/endeca/apt
root# chown endeca:endeca /space/endeca/auto
root# chown endeca:endeca /space/endeca/chrome
root# chown endeca:endeca /space/endeca/babe

5) Once change ownership is over, i have to restart the server process

login as endeca
password end123

a)endeca# . .endeca_apt
b)endeca# ./start_em.sh
c)endeca# cd bin/
d)endeca/bin# RunCommand apt_control.script apt_start

a)endeca# . .endeca_auto
b)endeca# ./start_em.sh
c)endeca# cd bin/
d)endeca/bin# RunCommand auto_control.script auto_start

a)endeca# . .endeca_chrome
b)endeca# ./start_em.sh
c)endeca# cd bin/
d)endeca/bin# RunCommand chrome_control.script chrome_start

a)endeca# . .endeca_babe
b)endeca# ./start_em.sh
c)endeca# cd bin/
d)endeca/bin# RunCommand babe_control.script babe_start

I have written ftp scripts for download. My doubt is i have to write four script for downloading four folders. Also

i have to schedule four cron jobs for my tasks.

#!/bin/bash -vx
ftp -in 10.10.10.100<<END_SCRIPT
quote USER abc
quote PASS defgh
bin
prompt off
cd /Source/Dumps1/
lcd /space/endeca/apt/
mget *
bye
END_SCRIPT

Please don't take bore of my post.


Thanks in advance,

Moorthy.GS
You can do the task by means of a single shell script itself and by means of a single cron?
