ignite script

[Richard_115]

my ignite server is configured to backup images of other servers. I need to automate this process. But since I have space limitation and that I keep 2 copies of the client image on the server, I wonder if there is a way I can script to get onto the server automatically and remove the older image before I begin to dump the new image onto the server.

with shell script y crontab ,if know the hour the execution of ignite ,before run script to get onto the server automatically and remove the older image before of begin to dump the new image onto the server.

you could either have a cron job set to run at certain times to remove the old image....

or you have 2 other options:

telnet (ssh) in and remove it ...or...

install expect
http://expect.nist.gov/
create an expect script that will telnet to the server and remove the image then create a second script that 1st calls the expect script and then launches you ignite process.

hope that helps
