check if some file is in copy process, then transfer it
my user copy large files, and it's take 10min for file to be copied to the server (/tmp/user/ files/), if in the meantime start my scheduled script, then it will copy a part of some file to server1
my idea is to check the file size twice in a short period (1-2 seconds) of time, then compare, if the size is different then script transfer1.sh will copy it the next time wen is started from cron,
If anyone has an idea how to do this or any other suggestions?
PS another thing, files name will be random, but every file have "TEST" in name.
when my script run there will be about 5 files to transfer, and this control is just for case if one of the files is in copy process, but other files must be transfered to server1
30 * * * * /myscript/transfer1.sh
example, folder contains /tmp/user/ files/
TEST1.out
TEST2.out
TEST3.out
TEST4.out (example this file is still copying and will bee skiped with transfer to server1)
after transfer delete all files except TEST4.out, that file will bee copyied next time when script is started
Hi,
I would like to perform bash which would check the file A.txt to be size 0 or not. If the size is 0, I would copy file B.txt to replace A.txt.
Please help.
Thanks.

uucp
uucp(1) General Commands Manual uucp(1)NAME
uucp - Unix to Unix copy
SYNOPSIS
uucp [ options ] source-file destination-file
uucp [ options ] source-file... destination-directory
DESCRIPTION
The uucp command copies files between systems. Each file argument is either a pathname on the local machine or is of the form
system!path
which is interpreted as being on a remote system. In the first form, the contents of the first file are copied to the second. In the sec-
ond form, each source file is copied into the destination directory.
A file be transferred to or from system2 via system1 by using
system1!system2!path.
Any pathname that does not begin with / or ~ will be appended to the current directory (unless the -W or --noexpand option is used); this
resulting path will not necessarily exist on a remote system. A pathname beginning with a simple ~ starts at the UUCP public directory; a
pathname beginning with ~name starts at the home directory of the named user. The ~ is interpreted on the appropriate system. Note that
some shells will interpret a simple ~ to the local home directory before uucp sees it; to avoid this the ~ must be quoted.
Shell metacharacters ? * [ ] are interpreted on the appropriate system, assuming they are quoted to prevent the shell from interpreting
them first.
The copy does not take place immediately, but is queued up for the uucico (8) daemon; the daemon is started immediately unless the -r or
--nouucico switch is given. In any case, the next time the remote system is called the file(s) will be copied.
OPTIONS
The following options may be given to uucp.
-c, --nocopy
Do not copy local source files to the spool directory. If they are removed before being processed by the uucico (8) daemon, the copy
will fail. The files must be readable by the uucico (8) daemon, and by the invoking user.
-C, --copy
Copy local source files to the spool directory. This is the default.
-d, --directories
Create all necessary directories when doing the copy. This is the default.
-f, --nodirectories
If any necessary directories do not exist for the destination path, abort the copy.
-R, --recursive
If any of the source file names are directories, copy their contents recursively to the destination (which must itself be a direc-
tory).
-g grade, --grade grade
Set the grade of the file transfer command. Jobs of a higher grade are executed first. Grades run 0 ... 9 A ... Z a ... z from high
to low.
-m, --mail
Report completion or failure of the file transfer by mail (1).
-n user, --notify user
Report completion or failure of the file transfer by mail (1) to the named user on the remote system.
-r, --nouucico
Do not start uucico (8) daemon immediately; merely queue up the file transfer for later execution.
-j, --jobid
Print jobid on standard output. The job may be later cancelled by passing the jobid to the -k switch of uustat (1). It is possible
for some complex operations to produce more than one jobid, in which case each will be printed on a separate line. For example
uucp sys1!~user1/file1 sys2!~user2/file2 ~user3
will generate two separate jobs, one for the system sys1 and one for the system sys2.
-W, --noexpand
Do not prepend remote relative path names with the current directory.
-t, --uuto
This option is used by the uuto shell script. It causes uucp to interpret the final argument as system!user. The file(s) are sent to
~/receive/USER/LOCAL on the remote system, where USER is from the final argument and LOCAL is the local UUCP system name. Also, uucp
will act as though --notify user were specified.
-x type, --debug type
Turn on particular debugging types. The following types are recognized: abnormal, chat, handshake, uucp-proto, proto, port, config,
spooldir, execute, incoming, outgoing. Only abnormal, config, spooldir and execute are meaningful for uucp.
Multiple types may be given, separated by commas, and the --debug option may appear multiple times. A number may also be given, which
will turn on that many types from the foregoing list; for example, --debug 2 is equivalent to --debug abnormal,chat.
-I file, --config file
Set configuration file to use. This option may not be available, depending upon how uucp was compiled.
-v, --version
Report version information and exit.
--help
Print a help message and exit.
SEE ALSO mail(1), uux(1), uustat(1), uucico(8)BUGS
Some of the options are dependent on the capabilities of the uucico (8) daemon on the remote system.
The -n and -m switches do not work when transferring a file from one remote system to another.
File modes are not preserved, except for the execute bit. The resulting file is owned by the uucp user.
