Thanks Chubler and Don. Here is the current shape of script
Code:
#!/bin/sh
HOST='ftp.xxxx_xxxx.com'
USER='user_1'
FILE='test_bill.txt'
cat > /tmp/script_file_$$ <<EOF
get $FILE
exit
EOF
sftp -b /tmp/script_file_$$ $USER@$HOST
exit_status=$?
rm -f /tmp/script_file_$$
if [ $? != 0 ];then
echo "SFTP file transfer is failed for file $FILE" |mailx indocs_user@scrach.com
else
echo "SFTP file transfer is successfull for file $FILE" |mailx indocs_user@scrach.com
cp $FILE $FILE.`date +%m%d%y`
fi
It produced below output, failed again, but still sent me mail - SFTP file transfer is successfull for file test_bill.txt
Code:
sftp> get test_bill.txt
Couldn't stat remote file: No such file or directory
File "/test_bill.txt" not found.
Where I am missing now ? I am more concerned about fail status mail. If I do not want successful status mail, it is also fine (If that can make this script easier).

Hi
I'm a newbie, but I understand that there's some space difference between unix and the pc, which is why I can't write shell script on my pc but I can view it using notepad, wordpad, etc.
Is there any program I can use that will let me view the shell script and edit it without screwing up... (6 Replies)

The script should be able to be applied to any given file. for instance it should be able to replace "foo" with "bar" in the file myFile.txt. I know i need to make a back up file for this to work. I just... (2 Replies)

Dear Guru's
I'm using Putty and want to edit a file. I know we generally use vi editor to do it. As I'm not good in using vi editor, I want to convert the vi into something like text pad. Is there any option in Putty to do the same ? Thanks for your response.

unbuffer
UNBUFFER(1) General Commands Manual UNBUFFER(1)NAME
unbuffer - unbuffer output
SYNOPSIS
unbuffer program [ args ]
INTRODUCTION
unbuffer disables the output buffering that occurs when program output is redirected from non-interactive programs. For example, suppose
you are watching the output from a fifo by running it through od and then more.
od -c /tmp/fifo | more
You will not see anything until a full page of output has been produced.
You can disable this automatic buffering as follows:
unbuffer od -c /tmp/fifo | more
Normally, unbuffer does not read from stdin. This simplifies use of unbuffer in some situations. To use unbuffer in a pipeline, use the
-p flag. Example:
process1 | unbuffer -p process2 | process3
CAVEATS
unbuffer -p may appear to work incorrectly if a process feeding input to unbuffer exits. Consider:
process1 | unbuffer -p process2 | process3
If process1 exits, process2 may not yet have finished. It is impossible for unbuffer to know long to wait for process2 and process2 may
not ever finish, for example, if it is a filter. For expediency, unbuffer simply exits when it encounters an EOF from either its input or
process2.
In order to have a version of unbuffer that worked in all situations, an oracle would be necessary. If you want an application-specific
solution, workarounds or hand-coded Expect may be more suitable. For example, the following example shows how to allow grep to finish pro-
cessing when the cat before it finishes first. Using cat to feed grep would never require unbuffer in real life. It is merely a place-
holder for some imaginary process that may or may not finish. Similarly, the final cat at the end of the pipeline is also a placeholder
for another process.
$ cat /tmp/abcdef.log | grep abc | cat
abcdef
xxxabc defxxx
$ cat /tmp/abcdef.log | unbuffer grep abc | cat
$ (cat /tmp/abcdef.log ; sleep 1) | unbuffer grep abc | cat
abcdef
xxxabc defxxx
$
BUGS
The man page is longer than the program.
