Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi ,

i am a beginner in AIX.
please find my doubt

I am calling the below script named test_1 by " sh test_1 | telnet "

cmd1="var1=100"

echo open $Infahost
sleep 1
echo $Infaftplogin
sleep 1
echo $Infaftppasswd
sleep 1
echo $cmd1
sleep 5
echo $var1
sleep 5
echo exit

why am i not getting 100 when i am echoing "var1" (echo $var1)
please correct me if i am wrong...


thanks in advance

What are you trying to achieve?

i want to login to a secured file server and copy one folder to another folder. I neeed to provide sleep based on the size of the folder.

i am using slogin to login to the server...

thanks for reply
sam

what is the sleep for?

what are you using telnet for?

1.only a specific user has got access to use slogin to the file server
so we are loging in as that user using telnet...

2.sleep is to provide time delay for copying...( as i understood)
if i provide a small sleep value all files are not copied..

You should not need the sleep.

Personally I would use "ssh" rather than "telnet".

... because you should be doing "echo \$var1" so that the shell expansion happens on the other machine?

when i am using ssh command i facing one error...

please find the command



/usr/local/bin/ssh prtyu@shrif.sundo.com cp -R /bp01/secftp/samsun/prfile/FTP/REFUND_RESTATEMENT_REPORTS/poirty/Production/Internal/'mail rpt' /bp01/secftp/samsun/prfile/FTP/REFUND_RESTATEMENT_REPORTS/poirty/Production/Internal/Archive/

i have to copy the folder 'mail rpt'
i am having spaces in the file name
i ran the same command in the server directly....then it was working fine

please advice
