And much better will be:

Code:
 
[[ -f src_file ]] && cp src_file dest_file 2>/dev/null

So with above code, even if you don't have the source file, the script won't call cp command unnecessary. Also, it gives you flexibility to trap the information about missing file as well if you call in nested if - else statement Smilie

cmsync(1m)																cmsync(1m)

NAME
cmsync - Synchronize files or directories on multiple Serviceguard nodes. SYNOPSIS
cmsync [-rv] [[-n node_name]...] [src_node:]src_file [...] DESCRIPTION
cmsync copies files and/or directories to multiple Serviceguard nodes. cmsync is limited in several ways. cmsync is best suited for situations where other remote copy facilities are not available. For a more full featured tool for copying files between Serviceguard nodes, see ccp(1m) provided by Distributed Systems Administration Utilities. To use this command, the local user must have the root access role on each of the involved nodes. For more information on Serviceguard access control policies, see the manual, Managing Serviceguard. To use the cmsync command without specifying -n options, the local node must be configured into a Serviceguard cluster. If no -n options are specified, the files will be copied to all available nodes in the cluster. Paths may be relative to the current working directory or specified absolutely. Copies between two remote hosts are permitted. If a file or directory already exists on a destination node, the destination node's copy will be overwritten with no prompting. The cmsync command is not suited for large files or large numbers of files and may result in a heavy load on the command and Serviceguard daemons. Other tools such as ccp should be considered for these purposes. Options And Arguments -r Recursively copy entire directories. -v Verbose output will be displayed. -n node_name Serviceguard node to copy file to. If no -n options are specified, default is to copy to all nodes within the configured clus- ter. src_node Serviceguard node to retrieve the file from. Defaults to the local node. src_file Path to source file on src_node. RETURN VALUE
cmsync returns the following values: 0 Successful completion. 1 Command failed. EXAMPLES
Copy the local file /etc/hosts to remote nodes node1 and node2 cmsync -n node1 -n node2 /etc/hosts Distribute the remote file /etc/passwd to all nodes in the cluster. cmsync node1:/etc/passwd AUTHOR
