Hallo GUys
I am trying to run this script and than i am having some problem in it

Can someone please help me to solve it out
Script code

if ( /bin/cp -rf "$LOCATION/$FILE" /mnt/smb/"$DESTINATION" > /dev/null ) ; then
echo "File is being copied" I think i am doing some mistake here(Underline part.)

else
a=$( df -h /mnt/smb | tail -n +2 | tr -s ' ' | tr '%' ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 5)
echo "drive space $a"
if [[ $a -gt 80 ]]; then
cat /etc/diskspace/text.txt | sendmail test@gmail.com
fi

can someone has solution about it? I need to stop the further operation if coping of file is already running!
Every hint would be appriciable


thanks

What is your 'problem'?
Are you getting an error?

You will need to provide more information if you wish assistance.

Currently my only suggestion to help you debug is to place set -xv at the start of the script and check the output it delivers.

LOGFILE="/var/log/vpnc/filetransfer.log"

#Grab the Drivespace

if ( /bin/cp -rf "$LOCATION/$FILE" /mnt/smb/"$DESTINATION" 2>> $LOGFILE > /dev/null ); then
echo -n 'date' >> $LOGFILE && echo "Files are being copied." >> $LOGFILE
else
# check the drive space.
a=$(df -h /mnt/smb | tail -n +3 | tr -s ' ' | tr '%' ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 5)
echo $a

if [[ $a -ge 54 ]]; then
cat /etc/diskspace/text.txt | sendmail test@gmail.com
fi

Here is the part of my script and underline part of this script is added now and this is making error..
And here are some error which i took it from logfile.
Error FROM LOGFILE

i ONLY HAVE THIS ERROR WHEN I USE UNDERLINE PART IN THE SCRIPT:

insert an echo after each line with unique text to see if you're going where you think you should go? the if with the () and cp in it is questionable though. The true / false values can differ between apps and scripting interpreter. Sometimes 1 for true, 0 for false. Sometimes the inverse. In either case things to be executed should be encapsulated in $(), the the `` of newer versions of things.

Actually, I would get rid of the brackets all together as 'if' is quite capable of reading the return status of commands.

We also have no idea what is in or how variables are being set, but the error output seems quite clear on the fact that you probably do not have permission to perform the copy task you are trying to implement.

As stated in my first post, try placing the following at the start of the script (or at least prior to the concerned area:
This will provide additional output to advise what variables have been set to prior to commands being used on them.

Lastly, please use [code][/code] tags around data or code to make it more legible.

what kind of filesystem was mounted on /mnt/smb (and how?)

if ( ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -v vpnc_ondemand | grep -v less | grep vpnc > /dev/null ) ; then
echo "Shell script is already running there for we make exit".
exit
else
echo "Run the other par of script."
fi

Guys this was my code and solution for my problem. i just made codition if the scipt is running or not if yes then terminate the whole script.

Thanks for your helps.

Glad you found a solution, although I am not quite sure how this solved the original problem.
You may also wish to investigate the pgrep command so you can be more succinct with what you are looking for.
