No, I don't have control of that server. The issue shown above is an anomaly that just happened. I showed it for an example. When I sftp a file is there a return code (especially in that situation above) that I can set a flag on to send me an email that it didn't complete correctly.
It looks to me that - and I'm not sure - but the above error would return ok; it started and it finished. That script is called from another script that does a lot of other things, so that script doesn't hang on that.
So, I guess what I'm asking is -- Is there a way to verify that the file was sent to the other server?
Bonus question:
In the script above, can you put an "if" statement in the code to detect, with expect say - "(yes/no)?" if true answer "yes" if false continue with the log in?

Also, I'm pretty sure you're right about multiple servers attaching to the same Aix-guy. Fast overview, that server is used in our D.R. process and we upload current info on backup tapes etc to it everyday.

The script is supposed to check if the files are already put on the server and if yes take them. If not, check again in 10 minutes, let's say.

script-email
SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) System Administration Commands SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)
NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
