From the command line it works ok. However, from inside my sh script, it doesn't, no matter how do I scape the quotes, doubles, singles, etc.
Currently I have in the script:
Code:
${find} $_dir -type f -exec sh -c \'${mv} \"\$1\" ${_archive_dir}; cd ${_archive_dir}; ${gzip} \"\$1\"\' sh {} \;
and the scripts is doing:
Code:
+ /usr/bin/find /appl/virtuo/var/loader/spool/ericssonumtsmgw_r51/R51/bad -type f -exec sh -c '/usr/bin/mv "$1" /appl/virtuo/var/loader/archive/20110923093606/ericssonumtsmgw_r51-bad
/usr/bin/find: incomplete statement
+ cd /appl/virtuo/var/loader/archive/20110923093606/ericssonumtsmgw_r51-bad
+ /usr/bin/gzip "$1"' sh {} ;
gzip: "$1"': No such file or directory
gzip: sh: No such file or directory
gzip: {}: No such file or directory
gzip: ;: No such file or directory
As You see, only the first command of the SH is being executed...
You know what could be wrong?
Thanks again,
Leo

Forgot to add that the directory is empty... the mv didn't worked, the cd did, and the gzip is not translating "$1" to the file name...

You also forgot to add code tags. It's really rather simple

Using solaris 2.5.1, and how can I get a summary of the size of each subdirectory, say for /export/home, all the users? usually I do a du -sk dirname but I have to manually type in each name, is there a better way?

Hi There,
I have a script which finds for log files and removes them if the file has changed in the last day.
The script runs fine without errors. The log file is still there. So, I decided to print the find command and run the command outside the script. Getting "Incomplete statement"
Can you... (6 Replies)

I have a shell script RemoveFiles.sh
Inside this file, it only has two commands as below:

rm -f ../../report/*
My problem is that when i execute this script, nothing happened. Files remained unremoved. I don't see any error message as it... (2 Replies)
I am using find to get all the instances of a given directory name, then remove those directories with a -exec rm command.
here is an example:
mkdir -p foo/bar
find foo -name bar -exec rm -rf {} \;
foo will get deleted as I desired, however this pops out on standard error:
find: foo/bar:... (3 Replies)
When I use "/" to look for a particular command that I typed in the current session it says

previously it used to fetch all the commands which had job in it..
for example subjob, endjob, joblist etc...

I can't get this to work. Running a single command works fine:
find . -name "*.dat" -exec wc -l '{}' \;
gives me the file name and number of lines in each .dat file in the directory.
But what if I want to pipe commands, e.g. to grep something and get the number of lines with that pattern... (3 Replies)
Hello all,
Something strange going on with a shell script I'm writing. It's trying to write a list of files that it finds in a given directory to another file. But I also have a skip list so matching files that are in that skip list should be, well uhm, skipped :)
Here's the code of my... (2 Replies)
Greetings,
Everytime I use rm with find I get errors like find: ./test: No such file or directory
For exemple :

GZEXE(1) General Commands Manual GZEXE(1)NAME
gzexe - compress executable files in place
SYNOPSIS
gzexe name ...
DESCRIPTION
The gzexe utility allows you to compress executables in place and have them automatically uncompress and execute when you run them (at a
penalty in performance). For example if you execute ``gzexe /usr/bin/gdb'' it will create the following two files:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1026675 Jun 7 13:53 /usr/bin/gdb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2304524 May 30 13:02 /usr/bin/gdb~
/usr/bin/gdb~ is the original file and /usr/bin/gdb is the self-uncompressing executable file. You can remove /usr/bin/gdb~ once you are
sure that /usr/bin/gdb works properly.
This utility is most useful on systems with very small disks.
OPTIONS -d Decompress the given executables instead of compressing them.
SEE ALSO gzip(1), znew(1), zmore(1), zcmp(1), zforce(1)CAVEATS
The compressed executable is a shell script. This may create some security holes. In particular, the compressed executable relies on the
PATH environment variable to find gzip and some standard utilities (basename, chmod, ln, mkdir, mktemp, rm, sleep, and tail).
BUGS
gzexe attempts to retain the original file attributes on the compressed executable, but you may have to fix them manually in some cases,
using chmod or chown.
