I will try to explain you.
I have a script, which

Code:

 tar and zip files on remote server when three directories, daily, weekly, monthly

The script went to weekly directory

Code:

 tar, zip files,exit to another server, on which it scp ziped file to our weekly directory, unzip and untar files and
 run another script:
 ${LOCL_WORKING_DIR}/sftp_ondemand.sh /export/data/mbsesb/config/ondemand.cfg /export/data/mbsesb/config/filename.lst W

sftp_ondemand.sh script is supposed to start, cd, to weekly directory on this server and rename files.
However,

Code:

if [ -d ${COOLDIR}/cool_${Today}/daily ] && [ "${CASENAME}" = "D" ]
then
rename daily files, start another script with daily files, also rename
fi
if [ -d ${COOLDIR}/cool_${Today}/weekly ] && [ "${CASENAME}" = "W" ]
then
rename weekly files

fi
if [ -d ${COOLDIR}/cool_${Today}/weekly ] && [ "${CASENAME}" = "M" ]
then
rename monthly files
fi

when I work with weekly files, it is anyway goes to the first if statement and create daily files on weekly directory. Which I don't want to do. I want it to go to the second if statement, but it goes to first, even condition doesn't exists.

Now I explained better?
