Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Cp not working in shell script but running perfectly from shell Post 302940847 by xbin on Thursday 9th of April 2015 12:19:59 PM

I counted 10 variable that are not defined.

Code:
if [ ! -d $Dest ]
then
   mkdir -p $Dest
fi

This test will fail if the last name in the path of Dest resolves to another file type. I would test the exit code of mkdir. Something like this
Code:
mkdir -p "$Dest" || ( echo "EXITING SCRIPT"; exit )
