Log and Mail problem
Hey Guys,

I am trying to do a recursive search in one directory. If the directory contains that specific folder then create a directory in my other remote machine and use SCP to transfer all the contents of the file.

Till this stage everything works fine. So now i need to add 2 more functionality.

1) If scp fails then mail it to appropriate person and store it in a log file.
2) If scp pass then store a message in the log file stating that SCP has been successful.

For some reason everytime i run my script it gives me an error.

Code:
./file_transfer1.sh[38]: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 45 : `<' is not matched.

And here is my code:

Code:
 LOCAL_LOG_FILE="priceops_`date +%m%d%Y`.log"

     cd /home/abc/nissan
     for dir in *; do
     if [ -d ${dir}/priceops ]; then
     /usr/local/bin/ssh -l ferrari xyz "mkdir -p  /az/web/test/$dir"
     scp -r ${dir}/priceops ferrari:/az/web/test/${dir}/
      echo "File Transferred failed from SUPRA to FERRARI `date +%n%m/%d/%Y%n%H:%M:%S`" >>$LOCAL_LOG_FILE 2>&1
     fi
    done

    if [ $? != 0 ]; then

    echo "Error occured"
    mailx -s "File Transfer Failed" "abc@xyz.com" <<-EOT
    scp failed from SUPRA to FERRARI
   `date`
    EOT
    echo "File Transferred failed from SUPRA to FERRARI `date +%n%m/%d/%Y%n%H:%M:%S`" >>$LOCAL_LOG_FILE 2>&1

The script is not even creating a log file also.
Thank you.,

You need to post all your code. Error should be on line 45 (possibly) but there is only 19 lines of code posted.

A quick glance - I believe this is an error
mailx -s "File Transfer Failed" "abc@xyz.com" <<-EOT
Should be << EOT

thanks for the reply. yes that is where the error presist. But unfortunately your solution did not work either.

I have worked with mail before also but for some reason it is not working for me now.

mailx -s "File Transfer Failed" "abc@xyz.com" <<-EOT

this is where the errors is it says < is not matched. I tried << EOT or <<EOT did not work. I appreciate if anyone can tell me whats going on.

Thanks

Thanks praveenvi. I do not get the error now. I have to test it to see if that mail functionality works or not. But its very wiered that this same mail function i used for my other program and never had a problem but when i used in this script it give me error.

One more question so right now my if statement looks like this :-

Code:
 if [ $? != 0 ]; then
    echo "Error occured"
     mailx -s \ "File Transfer Failed" \ "abc@xyz.com"
    scp failed from SUPRA to FERRARI
   `date`
    echo "File Transferred failed from SUPRA to FERRARI `date +%n%m/%d/%Y%n%H:%M:%S`" >>$LOCAL_LOG_FILE 2>&1

My question is that is :-

scp failed from SUPRA to FERRARI
`date`

will be added in the description of the mail or not?

Thanks

Sorry but this command does not work properly.

Code:
mailx -s \ "File Transfer Failed" \ "abc@xyz.com"

Now everytime i run this code:-

Code:
LOCAL_LOG_FILE="priceops_`date +%m%d%Y`.log"

     cd /home/abc/nissan
     for dir in *; do
     if [ -d ${dir}/priceops ]; then
     /usr/local/bin/ssh -l ferrari xyz "mkdir -p  /az/web/test/$dir"
     scp -r ${dir}/priceops ferrari:/az/web/test/${dir}/
      echo "File Transferred failed from SUPRA to FERRARI `date +%n%m/%d/%Y%n%H:%M:%S`" >>$LOCAL_LOG_FILE 2>&1
     fi
    done

    if [ $? != 0 ]; then

    echo "Error occured"
     echo "File Transferred failed from SUPRA to FERRARI `date +%n%m/%d/%Y%n%H:%M:%S`" >>$LOCAL_LOG_FILE 2>&1

    mailx -s \ "File Transfer Failed" \ "abc@xyz.com"
fi

exit 0

I dont get any error messages but when i run my script and the scp fails then my script just hangs at this statement.

echo "Error occured"

After that nothing happens. I had to press Ctrl + Z in order to quit. Anyone can tell me what is going on.

Thanks
