skipping commands?

ice99 · 08-10-2005, 06:33 AM

here is the problem!

i have script who make some copying....

examle:

echo "enter source name"
read SOURCE

echo "enter destination name"
read DESTINATION

step 1: rsync -Waq /servers/$SOURCE/ /servers/$DESTINATION

step 2: rsync -Waq -e ssh --delete /servers/$SOURCE/ /servers/$DESTINATION

and when i start script first goes STEP1 and then STEP2. byt some times i need to skip STEP 1 and go directly to STEP 2.

how can i do that?

thans in advance!

I'd use an if statement.

Code:

if [ <condition> ]; then
     rsync -Waq /servers/$SOURCE/ /servers/$DESTINATION
fi
rsync -Waq -e ssh --delete /servers/$SOURCE/ /servers/$DESTINATION

The question is... what determines if you do or don't od the first step?

WARNING: Different shells could have different syntax for the if... code above is bash script.

in seccond step i make a clean copy so only the files that have been changed earlier are replaced. and becouse i do this step over the rooter i have little poblems....
