remote ssh commands help
I have a script that I'm trying to use that will check for files on a remote machine and if there is files copy the files, modify the perm on the copied files, and then delete the files off of the remote server. Right now I need to get the correct syntax so the the remote commands still interpret my local defined variables.

I should note that I'm not strong in scripting as well as this script is still work in progress.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#script used to move patches from server to server 
#
FS="server"
FILES="/cygdrive/e/Information\\ Systems/To_Staging/"
DEST=/campus_data/
#
for campus in `cat campus_list`
        do
                ssh mover@$FS 'ls "$FILES$campus/"' > file_list
                if [ -s file_list ]; then  
                `scp mover@$FS:"$FILES$campus/*" /campus_data/$campus`
                rm -f file_list
                else
                echo "file_list is blank for" $campus
        fi
        done
exit

Sorry I was still working on it but this does what I needed. I was quoting myself to death... like I said this isn't my strong suite. using sh -x script i was able to work it out.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#script used to move patches from server to server 
#
FS="server"
FILES="/cygdrive/e/Information\\ Systems/To_Staging/"
DEST=/campus_data/
#
for campus in `cat campus_list` # file that contains folder structure
        do
                ssh mover@$FS "ls $FILES$campus/" > file_list #capture moved files
                if [ -s file_list ]; then
                `scp mover@$FS:"$FILES$campus/*" /campus_data/$campus`
for cp_file in `cat file_list`
        do
                ssh mover@$FS "rm -f $FILES$campus/$cp_file"
        done
                rm -f file_list
#       else
#               echo "file_list is blank for" $campus
        fi
        done
exit

now I just need to add in the file perm changes and I should be done.

btw - if I'm going to run this through cron do I need to use absolute paths or will it search the directory the script is run from?

thanks again.

Depends upon the location of the script. From Solaris cron manpage:
Quote:
The PATH for user cron jobs can be set using PATH= in /etc/default/cron. The PATH for root cron jobs can be set using SUPATH= in /etc/default/cron. The security implications of setting PATH and SUPATH should be carefully considered.

Example /etc/default/cron file:

CRONLOG=YES
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:

This example enables logging and sets the default PATH used by non-root jobs to /usr/bin:/usr/ucb:. Root jobs will continue to use /usr/sbin:/usr/bin.
Its better to use absolute path to be absolutely safe Smilie
