My first post on the Forums! I've just whipped up a quick script to slightly automate a log file retrieval process for work and to be completely honest my BASH scirpting knownledge is extremely limited as is my understanding of a lot of linux commands.
Basically the scripts purpose is to remove the hassle of having to type in several scp commands to retrieve logs from numerous boxes.
Fair warning the script could be completely laughable but this is why I'm asking for critique. Another massive no no is not having actually tested the script (this is why I'm asking the community to point out any majorily flawed coding).
Thank you in advance!
Things i'm not sure on;
- Using the read command purely as a pause process, will it work the way I intend it too?
- Will the individual scp commands process, prompt for password, process the transfer and then move onto the next scp command?
- If the script is run from within the USB directory will the cd and unmounting run into problems?

Hey guys.
I'm knocking up a script, a part of which will be copying some pretty large files to some remote servers. With the size of the files I need to make sure that they don't lose any data / corrupt on the way (it's unlikely, but these are business critical).
Obviously I could use the... (2 Replies)
I'm looking to use rsync to compare remote files and to copy the diff to a local directory, rather than transfer over the net.
The net connection is not fast enough to transfer these files (~1.8TB) and I'd like to sneakernet them instead.
Possible? (4 Replies)
