I am a fresher and new to shell script. I have a file which contains file names. I want to rsync using that file names to a destination. I used for but not working. Below is the script :
basedir=/appshare/customerdata/
backupdir=/backup/
rsync=/usr/bin/rsync
ls -ltrh $basedir | awk {'print $9'} | grep .[0-9] > /tmp/include.txt
for line in /tmp/include.txt
do
rsync -auvH $basedir$line --exclude-from /tmp/exclude.txt $backupdir
done
This script when run gives the following error :-
[root@practice Script]# ./customerdata
sending incremental file list
rsync: change_dir "/appshare/customerdata//tmp" failed: No such file or directory (2)
sent 12 bytes received 12 bytes 48.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1052) [sender=3.0.9]
Line:
for line in /tmp/include.txt
Should be:
for line in `cat /tmp/include.txt`
Also, don't parse ls
output, you can use globing from shell:
for line in $basedir/?[0-9]*;
do
rsync -auvH $basedir$line --exclude-from /tmp/exclude.txt $backupdir
done
