Hi all

Could anyone tall me how to do script or !!!!!!!! to do:

Why not just copy them to another place??

rcp -rp directory host:destination_directory


If you are asking how to tar directories name 1000 through 3000 then do this:

tar -cvf /dev/dmt/0m [1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9] 3000

Hi,

You can type

tar cf - 1??? 2??? 3000 | remsh "cd && tar xf -"

Beware that the user executing this command has the remsh right on remote host

You can 'man tar' for more details.
Hope this help !!

Regards,
Patrick

Goran,

Assuming you have directories such as 1001, 1399, 2100, 2850, etc (i.e. not just directories 1000, 2000, and 3000), the following script should work:

tar cvf myTar.tar [1-3][0-9][0-9][0-9]
ftp -v -n hostname_or_IP_addr < /tmp/ftp.log
user user_name password
bin
cd directory_you_want
put myTar.tar
bye
!

This script will tar up all your directories numbered anywhere from 1000-3000 (inclusive), then ftp to a remote machine, send the file across and go away.

A file called "/tmp/ftp.log" will be created (you must use the -v flag) which you can look at to make sure the ftp was successful.

Good luck!

Allen,

Wouldn't this grab everything from 1000-3999 instead of 1000-3000?

[Allan Pincus]

Sean,

You are right! Good catch. I guess you need to put:

tar cv [1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9] 3000

That;s why I posted :

tar -cvf /dev/dmt/0m [1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9] 3000



1000-2999 + 3000

:-))

This should work for the initial copy:

cd /path/to/folders
find [1-2][0-9][0-9]0-9] 3000 -xdev | cpio -o | remsh rhost 'cpio -idmux /path/to/folders'

Then for daily incrementals, you can do this:

cd /path/to/folders
find [1-2][0-9][0-9][0-9] 3000 -type f -mtime -1 -xdev | cpio -o | remsh rhost 'cpio -idmux /path/to/folders'
