Java How to keep track of filename in different shell
Guys I am trying to install the pkg using the follwoing script.
Trying to run the script from one machine to other machines with the follwoing code.

Now my problem is, when I use scp command on the remote machine, how do i keep track of filename in some variable or that sort of thing.

Below is the sample code.

for GETHOST in `cat $FILENAME`
do
echo "\n Logging onto $GETHOST"
ssh $GETHOST <<EOT
#Getting the machine info for Sparc / AMD machine
TYPE=`uname -a | awk '{print $6}'`
if [ $TYPE != sparc ];
then
scp beast:$AMD_DIR/*.pkg.tar.gz $GETHOST:/home/somename/pkg/
if [ $? = 0 ];
then
echo " Copied the file(s) Successfully on $GETHOST from beast"
else
echo " File(s) not copied on $GETHOST from beast"
exit 2
fi
[Here I have to keep track of all the recent files that have been scp'ed]or suggest any other alternative or any other condition please]
else
scp beast:SPARC_DIR/*.pkg.tar.gz $GETHOST:/home/somenam/pkg/
if [ $? = 0 ];
then
echo " Copied the file(s) Successfully on $GETHOST from beast"
else
echo " File(s) not copied on $GETHOST from beast"
exit 2
[SAME LIKE ABOVE - Here I have to keep track of all the recent files that have been scp'ed]or suggest any other alternative or any other condition please]
fi
fi
# Better to check once again if scp is successfull
# End of here document
EOT
# End of main for loop
done

While it probably doesn't matter in this case, that is almost always the wrong way to read a file. Use a while loop:

Code:
while read GETHOST
do
   TYPE=$(ssh "$GETHOST" uname -m)
   case $TYPE in
      sparc) sourcedir=SPARC_DIR ;;
      *) sourcedir=$AMD_DIR ;;
   esac
   scp beast:"$sourcedir"/*.pkg.tar.gz "$GETHOST":/home/somename/pkg/ > LOGFILE &&
    echo " Copied the file(s) Successfully on $GETHOST from beast" || {
    echo " File(s) not copied on $GETHOST from beast"
    exit 2
   }
done < "$FILENAME"

done < "$FILENAME"







thanks dude...code looks good...but my issue is.... after scp i want to run the pkginstall commands with each filename i scp'ed ... since i am in different shell. isn't it difficult to track the filename of AMD / SPARC directories???? so any alternative to get the file name scp'ed and then use it for pkginstall command...
