Time Difference in FTPing files

panchpan — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 06:29:04 GMT

HP-UX 11.0

When I SFTP files manually, it gets placed in the remote server immediately. But if the same task is being done by my shell script (batch job) - it is placing the file in around an hour time difference. When I see the logs of my batch job it shows immediate transfer was done.

Could one please help on this ?

Thanks a lot.
Pankaj.

Pankaj,
is your batch job running at a lower priority than the manual process? This would mean it would run slower.

Can we see the script?
After every script statement, put date command compare what is taking time. Like follows.

echo "I am sftping a file"
date
some_other_command
date

If you do not mind, post script. Are time staps on both systems correct? Do both systems have same time set on them?

Hello.
The problem got solved, I got confirmation from customer that some of them were deleting files immediately without the knowledge of main person for some testing purpose.

Thanks a ton for your help !
