I have the following script that I am working on #!/bin/bash
date=$(date +%F--%T) #ssh parameters user=aquj001 remotehost=qa4app localdir=/home/aquj001/INFENG/scripts remotedir=/home/aquj001/recievingDir.$date linkdest=$(ssh $user@$remotehost /usr/linux/bin/readlink/ /home/aquj001/recievingDir.current) rsync -a --compress --link-dest=$linkdest --out-format='%i %n%L %l %M' --omit-dir-times "$localdir" "$user@$remotehost:$remotedir" ssh $user@$remotehost /bin/rm -f /home/aquj001/recievingDir.current ssh $user@$remotehost ln -sf $remotedir $linkdest now the issue becomes when i run it, I get the following errors. rsync: change_dir#4 "/home/aquj001/recievingDir.2013-09-04--15:53:16" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at main.c(877) [receiver=3.0.6] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (9 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [sender=3.0.6] It still creates the directory on the remote machine but its empty and nothing but sym links. Any ideas as to what th eissue is would be greatly appreciated. This is on an AIX 6.1 system installed from the aix toolbox package. -- Jonathan Aquilina
