Check to see source server is available
 
Hi,
I am using following to copy file from one server to other in a script but before using this command i want to use another command to check whether source server is accissable or not.

Command is running from destination server

scp -p source:/home/msl/abc1.csv /home/destination_folder

The easiest variant is:
Code:
ping -c 1 HOST | grep -q '1 received'
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
  scp...
fi

That only checks the network stack is up, not whether scp will work. Do it in arrears like this

Code:
scp -p source:/home/msl/abc1.csv /home/destination_folder
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]
then
    echo "scp failed"
    exit 1
fi
