fretagi,
I know you've solved the problem in the meantime, but let me explain why >> /var/tmp/HLR_ftp.log is not sufficient to also redirect HLR01_21092014: No space left on device to the logfile.
With >> you are appending only stdout messages to the logfile. The "No space left ..." message is written to stderr. The solution is to redirect stderr to stdout, so stderr also goes to the logfile:
#!/usr/bin/sh
cd /moneta_polled01/pre_hlr
HOST=10.100.48.47
USER=hlr_dump
PASSWD=dump123
/usr/bin/ftp -nv $HOST <<EOF
user $USER $PASSWD
#cd Ordens
binary
mget *HLR*
bye
EOF
echo $?
EXITSTATUS=$?
if [ $EXITSTATUS != "0" ] # exit status is not 0
then
echo "No space left on device" | mailx -s "Error:No Space" xyz@mycomp.com
else
echo "File transfered SUCCESSFULLY at $(date)." | mailx -s "HLR successfully transfered" xyz@mycomp.com
Then run your script - you'll be able to see the exit code of "ftp" which I think will be "0"

Dave,
If you add that line of code there, you completely change the remaining logic of the script. The commands:
Code:
echo $?
EXITSTATUS=$?
Will print the exit status of the ftp command, but set EXITSTATUS to the exit status of the echo command rather than the exit status of the ftp command. If there is some reason that you think the following if is not working correctly, the way to print ftp's exit status without changing the logic of the rest of the script would be:
Code:
EXITSTATUS=$?
echo $EXITSTATUS
Note that you can't use:
Code:
EXITSTATUS=$?
echo $?
either because the echo would then be printing the exit status of the command assigning a value to the EXITSTATUS variable (which, barring significant hardware problems or lack of accessible memory, should always be zero).
I have put that script in a crontab, to get the file once a week, but how do I modify the script in order to that in the next run, he would not pick all files starting with HLR. The format of the file is HLRXX_MMDDYYYY, where XX is just a number.
Because the script has been hard coded to pickup the HLR files, you'll need to modify to pickup the files that you want for the next run.
@Don, I realise that that was the case, I just wasn't clear that the echo statement was only there for testing and should be removed afterwards - sometimes - especially when a user arrives at your desk and performs the "Headless Chicken Dance" it is difficult to be as involved with the forum as one would like.

Dave
