Hi,

My first post!

I have inherited an old perl script, ohdr_cucp_sip_fix_04132022.pl and now trying it on Linux.

It was working on Unix.


While executing, I run into one issue. it moves the Config file

The script moves the files after completion

......................
if ( ! $DRYRUN ) {
rename "$CONFIG_FILE.processing", "$CONFIG_FILE.completed" or logNdie "$PROGNAME: ERROR: Cannot rename $CONFIG_FILE to $CONFIG_FILE.completed\n";
my $c = "$CONFIG_FILE.completed";
write_log "Moving to Done: $c\n";
chomp(my $qxout=qx(mv -t $DONE_DIR $c 2>&1));
logNdie "$PROGNAME: ERROR: Move to Done FAILED($?) for $c (output='$qxout')\n" if $?;
}

But it fails near the chomp(my $qxout=qx(mv -t $DONE_DIR $c 2>&1));
I suspect it is because Linux doesn’t like the move expression

I get an error

When I just tried with mv, I got

ohdr_cucp_sip_fix_04132022.pl: ERROR: Move to Done FAILED(256) for SIP_CUCP_FILES_VNISIPSUCCESS_20220414132902_1.cnfg.completed (output='mv: can't rename '/opt/app/vcc/pvc/ohdr/instance-0/cucp': Not a directory')
bash-4.4$

Actually the $Done_DIR = /opt/app/vcc/pvc/ohdr/instance-0/cucp

Any idea to resolve this?

Thanks,

Is that a script or binary?
If a script then you can look for where the mv command is and change the options.
These are conflicting options
-f says to not prompt
-i says to prompt
-n says 'do not overwrite' which makes the other 2 moot.


As far as the -t option I guess that some versions of mv may not support that option (mine does) but the real error I see here is

Your script expects a full linux system with proper commands but you are running it on busybox which is commonly used on embedded linux - routers and such, has limited functionality and doesn't support -t switch for mv among other things. You are not telling anything about your system, but try using a proper external /bin/mv and a shell like bash if it has them.
