Bash Script wont execute if called from a remote Windows PC
Hi Everyone!
Im trying to run a certain bash script in a linux server from a Windows PC using plink, but the script in Linux doesnt seems to run. The First script that will be called is the plucount_all.sh and then will call and pass the parameter to plucount.sh, after that from plucount_all.sh, it will call another script which is plucomp.sh
The first error message is clear - the directory /tmpToolsData/PLUCount doesn't exist. This might be caused by the script using a variable LINUX which is not set. Is that intentional?
Also, the mv commands in the script look pretty malformed. Perhaps you should first understand how the mv command is used.
Generally it's not quite clear to me what this script is supposed to achieve.

Hi, the script is supposed to query a remote linux pc and then compare it with static value indicated in the plucount.sh (another script called by plucount_all.sh).
No problem running the script on the actual Linux server, but when calling it from a windows pc via remote connection using plink, the error appears.
Perhaps when you run it on the server, the LINUX variable is set and the first error won't appear. It might help to know where the PLUCount directory is located.
But the line mv $DATA_BACKUP_DIR/Backup is unlikely to succeed in any circumstances. What is moved where?

Hi the PLUcount directory is located in /home/tmp/ToolsData/
