Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Copy Directory Tree from one Server to Another Post 302937422 by rbatte1 on Thursday 5th of March 2015 11:47:56 AM

I might suggest a sort after the find then pipe to xargs -n1 mkdir to ensure that directories are created in ascending order so that there is no risk of trying to create /a/b/c/d/e before you create /a/b/c I admit it is unlikely, but possible.

if you are using servers that use backup & restore, fsdump & fsrestore or ufsdump and ufsrestore then you can take a dump and I think there is a way using the interactive restore to generate all the directories ready for data restore, at which point you just cancel. It's been a long time since I used them though. They are on AIX, Solaris etc. I'm not sure if there is a Linux variety.

Currently there are only three: Pod, DocBook and Text The plugin TYPE format only the file which the extension match with 'can_format' method. Respectively pod, xml and txt for existing plugins. For security reasons the path of file must be include in 'whitelisting' directory. You can use path_to(DIR) to describe directory in mojomojo.conf: Just an example to view the test pod file t/var/files/test.pod : Add this to mojomojo.conf : <Formatter::Dir> prefix_url /myfiles whitelisting __path_to(t/var/files)__ </Formatter::Dir> To see the pod content formatted in xhtml, write in the text area: {{file Pod path_to(t/var/files)test.pod}} To show recursively all files of directory see script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl script. To test it: # start mojomojo ./script/mojomojo_server.pl # run dir2mojomojo script ./script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl --dir=~/dev/mojomojo/t/var/files/ --url=/myfiles Connect to http://server:3000/myfiles/ METHODS
