Check if file loaded to another box

[Tim2525]

Hi All,

Here is another simple qs. I am using rsync to tranfers a backup file to another Solaris 8 box. How would I check to see if the file transfered successfully.


##SSH the file.
rsync -a -e ssh /export/home/db2inst1/backupCampmor sample@anotherbox: /db2_backup

if [ <file transferred successfully> ]
then
echo "CAMPMOR DATABASE BACKUP FAILED" >> /db2_backup/timer.txt
print "CAMPMOR DATABASE BACK UP FAILED"
exit 1
fi


TIA,

T

The rsync command should return an error code, so this should work:

if rsync -a -e ssh /export/home/db2inst1/backupCampmor sample@anotherbox: /db2_backup
then
   echo "CAMPMOR DATABASE BACKUP FAILED" >> /db2_backup/timer.txt
   print "CAMPMOR DATABASE BACK UP FAILED"
   exit 1
fi

Sorry, sorry...

if ! rsync -a -e ssh /export/home/db2inst1/backupCampmor sample@anotherbox: /db2_backup
then
   echo "CAMPMOR DATABASE BACKUP FAILED" >> /db2_backup/timer.txt
   print "CAMPMOR DATABASE BACK UP FAILED"
   exit 1
fi

I got the sense of the if statement the wrong way around.
