I am trying to run a shell script that tests the connectivity to all the sftp servers and email if any one of them is down. There are aliases for all the servers with sftp command prefix in a '.alias' file. But when I use the alias name to run it as a command in my shell script to test the connectivity, I get an error saying "not found [No such file or directory]", though I initialize the .alias file at the beginning of my script.
Below is what I m doing. Please help me to resolve this.
.alias file have entries like:
In the script I am doing the below:
#Where Alias_List.txt has the list of all sftp server alias names, i.e abc, xyz
My question is: why is it "source .alias" NOT setting/initializing the alias names in the session? is adding these alias names to /etc/bashrc file the only solution? Can't I handle it within the script?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Regards,
Dippu
