Era thanks. Usually i do :-

Code:
if[ ? != 0 ]; then
SENDMAIL=1
.
.

Anyways i tried your solution era the value for STATUS is still 2 for the second run. So in other words i still get the email because the return value for the mkdir -777 command is not 0. It's 0 only the first time when it runs.

The second time is 2 because the directories are already created in the remote machine and it tries to create it again.

I have been searching on google for this problem but not yet lucky.

Code:
/usr/local/bin/ssh -l melo ferrari "test -d $REMOTE_DIR/$dir || mkdir -m 777  $REMOTE_DIR/$dir" >>$LOCAL_LOG_FILE 2>&1

Not working
