The shell is running through a list of zip filenames, copying the zip files to another location and adding a file to the zip files.
All this is working great, however I also need to report on the size of the zip file and I keep getting wrong answers.
Here's how I currently have it set up
Code:
cat $INPUT_FIL |
while read ITEM
do
#copy zip file to new location, add file
ZIP_SIZE=`ls -sh $ZIP_FIL`
echo $ZIP_SIZE
done
I get numbers that are way off the mark when I run it this way. I've moved the ZIP_SIZE to various points throughout the do loop and I get a different answer in different places. All of them are wrong.
I'm assuming you're on Linux:
First off, ls -l gives the file size in bytes, ls -lh makes it human readable.
Plus, I don't see where you are copying things.
-s gives a size in blocks. If you copy from one filesystem to another, filesystem #1 may have a blocksize of 512, the other filesystem #2 may have a blocksize of 1024, so -s would give you differing results. Don't use -s
