Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Cronjob script not renaming file Post 302942452 by Don Cragun on Wednesday 29th of April 2015 12:11:55 AM

I would think you might need a cd before you call sftp to be sure that cron is running your script in the directory where the file to be transferred is located.

Is it the rename that is failing? Or, could it be that the file is not found to copy or that you don't have permission to remove the remote file that you are replacing?

Assuming that when your script is run by cron, the file you're moving to the remote host is available; does the sftp command:
Code:
    get ${FILE} Red_bill.V01.txt

give you the same errors as the commands:
Code:
    get ${FILE}
    rm Red_bill.V01.txt
    rename ${FILE} Red_bill.V01.txt

uudemon(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							uudemon(4)

NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory: /usr/lib/uucp DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file. This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com- mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script. FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file. RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1) Files: /usr/lib/uucp delim off uudemon(4)
