Firstly, I would like to admit that I am a scripting newb.
Now, to my question:
I am writing a script that FTPs a bunch of logs from one server to another, it will be scheduled in Cron to run every 20 minutes.
Currently, the file transfer part of the script is fine. However, when the logs are transferred from server A to B, I want to delete the copies on server A, but I am unable to get the return code.
Here is my script so far:
Code:
#
# 22-11-2005
# John
# T&A Website
#
# Automates the FTP transfer of logs from A to B.
#
cd /x/logs/TAWEB
ftp -nv star-d << !
quote USER test
quote PASS testpass
cd /x/logs/TAWEB
mput *
if [[ $? ]]; then
echo FTP_OK!
rm DAILY*
rm STATS*
else
echo FTP_FAIL!
fi
quit
!
However, I am getting the error:
Code:
....
?Invalid command
....
multiple times (once for each log that exists).
As far as I knew, $? is the variable where the last return code was stored, but it doesn't seem to be working in this case.
I'm not sure how to check if the transfer was a success or not.

faxcron
FAXCRON(8) System Manager's Manual FAXCRON(8)NAME
faxcron - HylaFAX routine maintenance script
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/faxcron [ -n ] [ -l lastrun ]
DESCRIPTION
faxcron is a command script that does routine upkeep tasks in a HylaFAX spooling directory hierarchy. This script is intended to be
invoked from cron(8) on behalf of the fax user (often the ``fax'' user is uucp) once a day, with the standard output sent by mail to the
HylaFAX administrator. For example, the following crontab might be set up for the fax user:
25 23 * * * sh /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail FaxMaster
The faxcron script does the following work:
o report statistics for facsimile transmitted since the last time faxcron was run.
o report statistics for facsimile transmitted in the past week.
o report statistics for facsimile received since the last time faxcron was run.
o report statistics for facsimile received in the past week.
o report any recent calls that failed suspiciously and return the associated trace log;
o purge data that is 30 days or older from the remote machine information directory;
o delete information that is 30 days or older from session trace log files;
o remove files from the tmp directory that are older than 1 day;
o remove files in the received facsimile queue that are 7 days or older;
o report sites that are currently having jobs rejected; and
o force all session log files to be owned by the fax user and kept with protection mode 644.
OPTIONS -n Forces faxcron to run without updating any files.
-l lastrun
Forces the notion of the last time that faxcron was run to be lastrun. The value of lastrun is a date and time string of the
form ``MM/DD/YY HH:MM'' (the date(1) format string ``%D %H:%M'').
-info n Set the expiration time for data in the info database to be n days.
-log n Set the expiration time for session log data to be n days.
-rcv n Set the expiration time for files in the received facsimile queue to be n days.
-tmp n Set the expiration time for files in the tmp directory to be n days.
-mode m Set the file protection mode for session logs to m (a command line argument to chmod(1)).
NOTES
This script requires nawk(1) or gawk(1) and a date (1) program that supports the ``+format'' option.
If session logs are to be kept private this script must be modified to filter out sensitive information such as calling card numbers. (It
should also be run with ``-mode 0600'' so that session log files are not publicly readable.)
