help with shell script: cp command not working, but mv command works...
Hello.
I would like to ask your help regarding the cp command. We are using a cp command to create a back-up copy of our file but to no avail. It's just not working. We already checked the file and directory permissions and all seems correct.
We have a script (ftp.script) which calls on another script (copy.script).
copy.script is expected to create a copy of the file called "newfile.mmddyy" from /usr/tmp/data to /usr/tmp/work.
the result is we are getting a zero return code from the cp command but when we do a file listing command, it says that the file does not exist.
Code:
copy.script
#!/usr/bin/ksh
FILE_BKUP=Y
ADD_DATE_TIME_SUFFIX=N
filename=newfile.mmddyy
pathfile=/usr/tmp/data/$filename
WORKPATH=/usr/tmp/work
LOGPATH=/usr/tmp/logs
if [[ "$FILE_BKUP" = 'Y' ]]
then
if [[ "$ADD_DATETIME_SUFFIX" = 'Y' ]]
then
cp $pathfile $WORKPATH/$filename.$DATESTAMP
rc=$?
else
cp $pathfile $WORKPATH/$filename
rc=$?
echo `ls -latr $WORKPATH/$filename` >> $LOGPATH/script.log
fi
fi
result:
+ [[ Y = Y ]]
+ [[ N = Y ]]
+ cp /usr/tmp/data/newfile.mmddyy /usr/tmp/work/newfile.mmddyy
+ rc=0
+ ls -latr /usr/tmp/work/newfile.mmddyy
ls: 0653-341 The file /usr/tmp/work/newfile.mmddyy does not exist.
What we did was to have the ftp.script check on /usr/tmp/work directory if the file exists there. If it doesn't exist there, the script will create a copy of the file on another work directory, /usr/tmp/work2, using the cp command and then move the file from /usr/tmp/data to /usr/tmp/work.
Code:
ftp.script
if [[ -a $workdir/$1 ]];
then
rm -f $datadir/$1
else
cp $datadir/$1 $workdir2/$1.copied_by_script.ftp
mv $datadir/$1 $workdir/$1
fi
where datadir=/usr/tmp/data, workdir=/usr/tmp/work and workdir2=/usr/tmp/work2. /usr/tmp/work2 has a dir permission of 2775, owner is usrdcrd and group is usrdeliv.
Since the file does not exist on /usr/tmp/work directory, I'm expecting ftp.script to create a copy of the file on /usr/tmp/work2 and move the file from /usr/tmp/data to /usr/tmp/work. But it only moved the file from /usr/tmp/data to /usr/tmp/work, again, the cp command did not work.
By the way, the file came from a SAP server and sent to the AIX server. Once the file reaches AIX server, a script is executed. This script then calls on the ftp.script to start the processing of the file. The owner/permission/group of the file when it reached AIX is : permission of 660, owner is usradm1 and group is usrdeliv.
Hi,
Following is my shell script.

FAXCRON(8) System Manager's Manual FAXCRON(8)NAME
faxcron - HylaFAX routine maintenance script
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxcron [ -n ] [ -l lastrun ]
DESCRIPTION
faxcron is a command script that does routine upkeep tasks in a HylaFAX spooling directory hierarchy. This script is intended to be
invoked from cron(8) on behalf of the fax user (often the ``fax'' user is uucp) once a day, with the standard output sent by mail to the
HylaFAX administrator. For example, the following crontab might be set up for the fax user:
25 23 * * * sh /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail FaxMaster
The faxcron script does the following work:
o report statistics for facsimile transmitted since the last time faxcron was run.
o report statistics for facsimile transmitted in the past week.
o report statistics for facsimile received since the last time faxcron was run.
o report statistics for facsimile received in the past week.
o report any recent calls that failed suspiciously and return the associated trace log;
o purge data that is 30 days or older from the remote machine information directory;
o delete information that is 30 days or older from session trace log files;
o remove files from the tmp directory that are older than 1 day;
o remove files in the received facsimile queue that are 7 days or older;
o report sites that are currently having jobs rejected; and
o force all session log files to be owned by the fax user and kept with protection mode 644.
OPTIONS -n Forces faxcron to run without updating any files.
-l lastrun
Forces the notion of the last time that faxcron was run to be lastrun. The value of lastrun is a date and time string of the
form ``MM/DD/YY HH:MM'' (the date(1) format string ``%D %H:%M'').
-info n Set the expiration time for data in the info database to be n days.
-log n Set the expiration time for session log data to be n days.
-rcv n Set the expiration time for files in the received facsimile queue to be n days.
-tmp n Set the expiration time for files in the tmp directory to be n days.
-mode m Set the file protection mode for session logs to m (a command line argument to chmod(1)).
NOTES
This script requires nawk(1) or gawk(1) and a date (1) program that supports the ``+format'' option.
If session logs are to be kept private this script must be modified to filter out sensitive information such as calling card numbers. (It
should also be run with ``-mode 0600'' so that session log files are not publicly readable.)
FILES
/var/spool/hylafax spooling area
/var/spool/hylafax/status/lastrun timestamp of last run
/usr/sbin/xferfaxstats for generating transmit statistics
/usr/sbin/recvstats for generating receive statistics
