UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

Do you know the difference between & and && ?


man bash:

Yes, I do know the difference but as I need to run both commands without the dependency of other to run or fail, I had to make some adjustment.

Nevermind, I have tried to scp only one file & have come to know that the issue was with 'grep' somehow, its not able to grep output of scp command, so I have to come up with the workaround, which I was trying to avoid for further obvious reasons of code.

So here is workaround, if anyone at all wants to know.

scp $StatusFile $user@$log02:$scppath
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
scp $StatusFile $user@$log01:$scppath
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
echo "$day Files transferred to log servers successfully." >> $scplog
else
echo "$day One or more file transfer failed over network." >> $scplog
fi
else
scp $StatusFile $user@$log01:$scppath
echo "$day One or more file transfer failed over network." >> $scplog
fi

How about

Code:

scp $StatusFile $user@$log02:$scppath
((RES+=$?))
scp $StatusFile $user@$log01:$scppath
((RES+=$?))
if [ "$RES" -ne 0 ]
  then echo "$day  $RES file transfer failed over network."
  else echo "$day Files transferred to log servers successfully." 
fi

Hello Rudic,

This looks better & is working better for my code. Thanks for the help.
