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.

CRON(8) System Manager's Manual CRON(8)NAME
cron - daemon to execute scheduled commands (Vixie Cron)
SYNOPSIS
cron
DESCRIPTION
Cron should be started from /etc/rc or /etc/rc.local. It will return immediately, so you don't need to start it with '&'.
Cron searches /var/spool/cron for crontab files which are named after accounts in /etc/passwd; crontabs found are loaded into memory. Cron
also searches for /etc/crontab and the files in the /etc/cron.d/ directory, which are in a different format (see crontab(5)). Cron then
wakes up every minute, examining all stored crontabs, checking each command to see if it should be run in the current minute. When execut-
ing commands, any output is mailed to the owner of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab, if
such exists).
Additionally, cron checks each minute to see if its spool directory's modtime (or the modtime on /etc/crontab) has changed, and if it has,
cron will then examine the modtime on all crontabs and reload those which have changed. Thus cron need not be restarted whenever a crontab
file is modified. Note that the Crontab(1) command updates the modtime of the spool directory whenever it changes a crontab.
