I don't need to check connectivity but if config files are the same in certain directories. I am also not trying to sync them exactly the config files will have different IP addresses in them and different database names, this is why I can't just use rsync but was trying to hash something out that would tell me if they are different and list out the differences through making a couple of files and then doing a compare. Perhaps rsync will do this but I didn't think so.
So the script that you are hoping to create just gives you a list of files that need to be investigated further; it doesn't sync files. Isn't that exactly what:
does?
The first time through it is likely to give you lots of false positives due to timestamp differences. But if you use rsync to synchronize those false positives (to sync the timestamps) and files that really need to be synced, subsequent runs should give you a greatly reduced list of files on which you actually need to perform your detailed md5sum checks.
And, obviously, if there are intentional IP and database name differences in some of your config files, md5sum isn't going to help you determine if there are also other differences in those files that shouldn't be present or that should cause a more complicated partial sync.
Hi, I'm writing a shell script that calls a few commands that prompt the user for two simple yes/no questions. if the answers are consistent (the first is a yes, the second is a no), what would my expect script look like? Google is only giving me answers for scripts where I telnet or ssh. right now... (3 Replies)
And not to start. I can compare files, that's easy. The problem is that I compare files in a directory, and check if these files exist in another directory. The problem is that the file names are not the same. So I have to compare with "md5sum" or something similar. How I can do?
All this in... (7 Replies)
I was wondering if anyone could provide some assistance. I trying to run an expect script within bash and get the results of a variable called RESULT.

I'm having trouble with some automated sftp pulls. I'm using expect inside bash scripts and spawning SFTP. Some times the expect seems bog down. I have tried to put sleeps in my code to give everything time to work before I move on to next step but I till continue to get issues. For example when... (2 Replies)
I'm trying to think of a way to compare two boxes and make sure their files will be the same. There may be extra files on one side and some on the other.
I also need to make sure the file content is identical.

scp
scp(1) User Commands scp(1)NAME
scp - secure copy (remote file copy program)
SYNOPSIS
scp [-pqrvBC46] [-F ssh_config] [-S program] [-P port] [-c cipher] [-i identity_file] [-o ssh_option] [ [user@]host1:]file1 [...] [
[user@]host2:]file2
DESCRIPTION
The scp utility copies files between hosts on a network. It uses ssh(1) for data transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides
the same security as ssh(1). Unlike rcp(1), scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if they are needed for authentication.
Any file name may contain a host and user specification to indicate that the file is to be copied to/from that host. Copies between two
remote hosts are permitted.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-4 Forces scp to use IPv4 addresses only.
-6 Forces scp to use IPv6 addresses only.
-B Selects batch mode. (Prevents asking for passwords or passphrases.)
-c cipher Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer. This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
-C Compression enable. Passes the -C flag to ssh(1) to enable compression.
-F ssh_config Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh(1.).
-i identity_file Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA authentication is read. This option is directly
passed to ssh(1).
-o ssh_option The given option is directly passed to ssh(1).
-p Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the original file.
-P port Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. Notice that this option is written with a capital `P', because
-p is already reserved for preserving the times and modes of the file in rcp(1).
-q Disables the progress meter.
-r Recursively copies entire directories.
-S program Specifies the name of the program to use for the encrypted connection. The program must understand ssh(1) options.
-v Verbose mode. Causes scp and ssh(1) to print debugging messages about their progress. This is helpful in debugging
connection, authentication, and configuration problems.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
host1, host2,...The name(s) of the host from or to which the file is to be copied.
file1, file2,...The file(s) to be copied.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
1 An error occurred.
