Getting script to run after ftp command
Hi

I, essentially have two parts in my script. The first ftp's to server S10 and retrieves a batch of files. The second part does the crunching and arranging, They both work independently but when run all in sam script I cannoy get 2nd part to run, i.e. the cat, cut & sed. I think it may be something to do with EOT but after 4 hours trying to get it working I'll pass it around in here first

Code:
more event_S10.sh
#!/usr/bin/sh

#set -x


cd /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S10/er_data
ftp -ni <<EOT
open "$1"
user xxxxx yyyyy
cd /logs/er_data_log/ready
mget *er_data*
bye
#EOT
    timestamp1=`gdate -d today  +%Y%m%d%H%M`
    timestamp2=`gdate -d today  +%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M`
    cat /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S10/er_data/er_data* > $timestamp1
    cut -d " " -f1,2,30 $timestamp1 | sed '/^$/d' > $timestamp2
    rm $timestamp1
    rm er_data*
#EOT
#kill $!
#exit 0

Remove the # from in front of EOT. The EOT must be the first thing in the line or it won't actually end the here-document.

Hi Corona, has no affect unfortunately

Can you show us the two scripts which work along with sample commands used to invoke those scripts?


As there are two "#EOT" lines in your script, we mean the first one.
cd /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S10/er_data
Code:
ftp -ni <<EOT
open "$1"
user xxxxx yyyyy
cd /logs/er_data_log/ready
mget *er_data*
bye
EOT

Hi Methyl

When I run
Code:
     timestamp1=`gdate -d today  +%Y%m%d%H%M`
    timestamp2=`gdate -d today  +%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M`
    cat /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S10/er_data/er_data* > $timestamp1
    cut -d " " -f1,2,30 $timestamp1 | sed '/^$/d' > $timestamp2
    rm $timestamp1
    rm er_data*

it runs perfectly fine

When I run
Code:
cd /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S10/er_data
ftp -ni <<EOT
open "$1"
user hearne_r Dubliner1
cd /logs/er_data_log/ready
mget *er_data*
bye

it also works fine


however when combined as
Code:
more event_S10.sh
#!/usr/bin/sh

#set -x


cd /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S10/er_data
ftp -ni <<EOT
open "$1"
user hearne_r Dubliner1
cd /logs/er_data_log/ready
mget *er_data*
bye
EOT

    timestamp1=`gdate -d today  +%Y%m%d%H%M`
    timestamp2=`gdate -d today  +%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M`
    cat /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S10/er_data/er_data* > $timestamp1
    cut -d " " -f1,2,30 $timestamp1 | sed '/^$/d' > $timestamp2
    rm $timestamp1
    rm er_data*
#EOT
#kill $!
#exit 0

it only does the ftp bit and retreves the files. It does not parse and aggregate as per teh cat, cut and sed commands

There's a difference. In the ftp script you do this:
Code:
cd /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S10/er_data

in the other, you don't. You may need to cd back to where you started.

Hi Corona

I do cd back in terme of reffering to dir /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S10/er_data

Code:
     cat /home/it/capopt/APNRD/S10/er_data/er_data* > $timestamp1
    cut -d " " -f1,2,30 $timestamp1 | sed '/^$/d' > $timestamp2
