I know that there is a no SSH to drive it himself, however the other end is moving the files off as they arrive, so perhaps that can be altered to expect a compressed tar file, was my thought.
It depends what the receiving company is prepared to do after they "fixed" a working system that allowed Kerberos to send single files and therefore delete single files in a controlled way. Unfortunately now you want to open a single connection and move all of the files.
Another alternate would be to fire in something like into the sftp batch file:-
This will cause sftp to get a kill -15 and exit with $?=1 You can then pick that up with your shell script.
Hi Folks,
I have been trying to create a script wherein after it reads a certain number of data, it will pause and ask the user if he wants to continue or not. However, it seems that when it is supposed to read the user's answer, the script will go into a loop. What is wrong with my script here?... (7 Replies)

It is happening with my sessions already second time: a 'for'-loop for some reason stop to work as expected.
That means or it is looping without exitting, or it is not loop even once.

Hey all,
Here's my dilemma:
1. I'm a newbie at scripting!
2. I need to create a script that checks: If a file size is equal to zero, then stop the installation.
Is there a way to do this or am I wasting my time???
Thanx in advance! :b: (2 Replies)
I have a little code block (executing on AIX 7.1) that I cannot understand why the NOTFREE=0 does not appear to be assigned even though it goes through that block. This causes a unary operator issue.

cut
cut(1) User Commands cut(1)NAME
cut - cut out selected fields of each line of a file
SYNOPSIS
cut -b list [-n] [file]...
cut -c list [file]...
cut -f list [-d delim] [-s] [file]...
DESCRIPTION
Use the cut utility to cut out columns from a table or fields from each line of a file; in data base parlance, it implements the projection
of a relation. The fields as specified by list can be fixed length, that is, character positions as on a punched card (-c option) or the
length can vary from line to line and be marked with a field delimiter character like TAB (-f option). cut can be used as a filter.
Either the -b, -c, or -f option must be specified.
Use grep(1) to make horizontal ``cuts'' (by context) through a file, or paste(1) to put files together column-wise (that is, horizontally).
To reorder columns in a table, use cut and paste.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
list A comma-separated or blank-character-separated list of integer field numbers (in increasing order), with optional - to indi-
cate ranges (for instance, 1,4,7; 1-3,8; -5,10 (short for 1-5,10); or 3- (short for third through last field)).
-b list The list following -b specifies byte positions (for instance, -b1-72 would pass the first 72 bytes of each line). When -b and
-n are used together, list is adjusted so that no multi-byte character is split.
-c list The list following -c specifies character positions (for instance, -c1-72 would pass the first 72 characters of each line).
-d delim The character following -d is the field delimiter (-f option only). Default is tab. Space or other characters with special
meaning to the shell must be quoted. delim can be a multi-byte character.
-f list The list following -f is a list of fields assumed to be separated in the file by a delimiter character (see -d ); for
instance, -f1,7 copies the first and seventh field only. Lines with no field delimiters will be passed through intact (useful
for table subheadings), unless -s is specified.
-n Do not split characters. When -b list and -n are used together, list is adjusted so that no multi-byte character is split.
-s Suppresses lines with no delimiter characters in case of -f option. Unless specified, lines with no delimiters will be passed
through untouched.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
file A path name of an input file. If no file operands are specified, or if a file operand is -, the standard input will be used.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of cut when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte (2^31 bytes).
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Mapping user IDs
A mapping of user IDs to names follows:
example% cut -d: -f1,5 /etc/passwd
Example 2 Setting current login name
To set name to current login name:
example$ name=`who am i | cut -f1 -d' '`
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of cut: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MES-
SAGES, and NLSPATH.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 All input files were output successfully.
>0 An error occurred.
