Move Command and exit status problem
Hi All,

I am using the following code to move files from one folder to another on the remote server:

ssh username@server <<EOF
cd source_dir
find . -type f -name "*.txt" |xargs -n1000 -i{} mv {} dest_dir
if [$? !=0]
then send mail indicating error
otherwise
echo "success"
fi
EOF

Now,when i do the manual run of the script it works fine but when schedule run of the script takes place it send the mail to me indicating that some error has occured(though dont' know the exact error).

Could someone tell me why is this happening.Moreover, how can i track down the exact error message while the schedule run of the script is taking place.

rpdump

rpdump(1)						      General Commands Manual							 rpdump(1)

NAME

       rpdump - pine remote data utility

SYNTAX

       rpdump [ -f ] -l Local_file -r Remote_folder

DESCRIPTION

       Rpdump  may  be used to copy the actual data from remote Pine configuration files or address books into a local file.  It is intended to be
       used by system administrators.  Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Pine.

       Local_file will normally be a local temporary file.  Remote_folder is the IMAP folder being used as a remote Pine configuration	(with  the
       help of Pine's -P, -p, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) or remote Pine address book folder.  A copy
       of the data from Remote_folder will be copied to Local_file.

       -f		   Force the dump even if the remote folder is in an unrecognized format.

       -l Local_file	   The file on this system that is to be copied to.

       -r Remote_folder    A remote folder name to be copied from.  See the Pine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name.	One  exam-
			   ple is
			   {my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
