Full Discussion: automate ftpget to multiple hosts
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting automate ftpget to multiple hosts Post 302258017 by huntfishtrap on Thursday 13th of November 2008 04:12:34 PM
Old 11-13-2008
OK, I've made some progress. I figured out how to do a loop though a file of ip addresses to each different host, but I must have my syntax wrong. I get "ftp: host: unkown host". The file has a list of addresses in dotted decimal format. I can ssh to them individually, so I know I have connectivity. Here is my script.

#/usr/bin/bash
# this script goes to each xml store and gets the xml file

for host in /home/paul/xml/xmlstorelist

do

ftp -v -n host << cmd
user username password

# this part finds the newest file
cd /usr/fiscal/data/xmlejrls
set -- *.xml
shift $(( $# - 1 ))
newest_file=$1

get $1

quit
cmd
done


Any help?
Thanks

pvck

PVCK(8)                                                       System Manager's Manual                                                      PVCK(8)

NAME

       pvck - check physical volume metadata

SYNOPSIS

       pvck [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--labelsector] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]

DESCRIPTION

       pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.

OPTIONS

       See lvm for common options.

       --labelsector sector
              By  default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an LVM label, starting at sector 0.  This parameter allows you to specify a
              different starting sector for the scan and is useful for recovery situations.  For example, suppose the partition table is corrupted
              or  lost  on  /dev/sda, but you suspect there was an LVM partition at approximately 100 MB.  This area of the disk may be scanned by
              using the --labelsector parameter with a value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):

              pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda

              Note that a script can be used with --labelsector to automate the process of finding LVM labels.
