Unable to copy contents

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I am trying to move content of a folder using

ls /backup/db_backups/INCREMENTAL/|while read file ; do
mv $file /backup_LOCAL/db_backups/INCREMENTAL/
done

...but when I run this command using a bash script I'm getting this error

 ./test.sh
mv: cannot stat `1.0.db2inst2.DBPART000.20151119062453.001.gz': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `2.0.db2inst2.DBPART000.20151119062528.001.gz': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `3.0.db2inst2.DBPART000.20151119062540.001.gz': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `4.0.db2inst2.DBPART000.20151119061646.001.gz': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `5.0.db2inst2.DBPART000.20151119062518.001.gz': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `6.0.db2inst2.DBPART000.20151119062504.001.gz': No such file or directory

ls -l /backup_LOCAL/
drwxrwxr-x   4 db2inst2 db2iadm1       4096 Nov 12 04:52 backup_LOCAL

Is this some thing permission issue ? but I can move files to /backup_LOCAL mv command manually but not using bash .

Your ls supplies file names without paths; so mv will search in the cwd and fail unless your cwd is the source directory.

3

oh ok you mean should i need to be there in pwd before running this command ?

4

That were one option. Another were using a variable holding the path for both the ls and the mv command.

5

Finally i modified my script like this .

# MOVE BACKUPS TO backup_LOCAL/db_backups FROM /backup/db_backups/
cd /backup/db_backups/INCRMENTAL/
#mv /backup/db_backups/INCRMENTAL/*.* /backup_LOCAL/db_backups/INCREMENTAL/
ls /backup/db_backups/INCREMENTAL/|while read file ; do
mv $file /backup_LOCAL/db_backups/INCREMENTAL/
done

content is here

ls -l /backup/db_backup/INCREMENTAL

-rw-r--r-- 1 db2inst2 db2iadm1          0 Nov 20 09:56 1.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 db2inst2 db2iadm1          0 Nov 20 09:56 2.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 db2inst2 db2iadm1          0 Nov 20 09:57 3.txt

I m really don't understand why this bash is not copying the files .THis is the error .

./Weekly_Full_Online.sh: line 34: cd: /backup/db_backups/INCRMENTAL/: No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `1.txt': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `2.txt': No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `3.txt': No such file or directory

Is there any problem with syntax ? i can move the content if use mv out side bash

6

INCRMENTAL ?

I updated to INCREMENTAL

now error is different .

mv: cannot create regular file `/backup_LOCAL/db_backups/FULL/': Is a directory
mv: cannot create regular file `/backup_LOCAL/db_backups/INCREMENTAL/': Is a directory
