Please, i have a question. The execution of the second instruction is done, but i do not see the result of pbzip2

I have to send this file pbzip2 to a destination node, but it is sended corrupt


Any explanation please ? Any idea of a solution? how can i block the execution until i have the file ?



Thanks a lot.
It appears that $name in your script expands to an empty string. And, there is nothing you have shown us in this script that sets the variable name before you use it three times in your script.

Is the zip file different on the destination node when compared to the same file on the source node (assuming that you actually created a file named .tar.bz2 on the source node)?

Did you get a diagnostic from the tar command that you didn't shown us? Perhaps something like:
Code:
tar: no files or directories specified

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
