Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Ftp bash script appends to file using cron instead of coping new file Post 302949437 by RudiC on Friday 10th of July 2015 02:06:28 PM

That's a bit hard to understand. You remove all .csv files, and then define and touch "todays" .csv file:
Code:
rm *.csv
csv_file="$(date -d now +%y-%m-%d)_report.csv"
touch $csv_file

Where is the old file that is being appended to?
Please post a directory listing after above commands.

Why do you cd /var/www/html/tools/report-script ? There shouldn't be any new file to be transferred!?

Linux::Distribution::Packages(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Linux::Distribution::Packages(3pm)

NAME
Linux::Distribution::Packages - list all packages on various Linux distributions SYNOPSIS
use Linux::Distribution::Packages qw(distribution_packages distribution_write); $linux = new Linux::Distribution::Packages({'format' => 'csv', 'output_file' => 'packages.csv'}); $linux->distribution_write(); # Or you can (re)set the options when you write. $linux->distribution_write({'format' => 'xml', 'output_file' => 'packages.xml'}); # If you want to reload the package data $linux->distribution_packages(); DESCRIPTION
This is a simple module that uses Linux::Distribution to guess the linux distribution and then uses the correct commands to list all the packages on the system and then output them in one of three formats: native, csv, and xml. Distributions currently working: debian, ubuntu, fedora, redhat, suse, gentoo, slackware, redflag. The module inherits from Linux::Distribution, so can also use its calls. EXPORT None by default. TODO
* Add the capability to correctly get packages for all recognized distributions. * Seperate out parsing from writing. Parse data to hash and give access to hash. Then write the formatted data from the hash. AUTHORS
