Software :: Can't Put Variables In Rsync Command
Feb 15, 2011
I'm trying to put a variable into the rsync command but I just get some BS error about escaping - whatever that is suppose to mean.
This is my command:
Code:
rsync -rvvuc --exclude '/Output/*' ${OPTARGS} --delete "${SOURCE}scripts/" "${DEST}scripts/"
${OPTARGS} has this value:
--rsh='ssh -p 34'
Wont work. If I type that text directly, then it works. Other then using some if statement to have two different command calls, how can I make this work?

I'm trying to clean up some files and I've been using the rename command as its the easiest way I've found to do it. One problem I've found is that on a couple of batches of files they have a set random numbers on them which I need to remove.
Only problem is I can't find a way for rename to "lock" onto those numbers to remove them. The file name structure is something like this:
file name[random numbers].extension
There are brackets around the numbers as well which I'm not sure will help or not.

var2=`mysql -u[user] -p[pass] -D[dbname] -e "Query2"`

I've just noticed something odd with 'su'. When you run 'su' with both the '-' (aka -l) and -c command options like this: "su -l user -c command" it doesn't appear to run /etc/profile before running the specified command even though the -l option is specified. If you run "su -l user" without the -c it does run /etc/profile.
Now, on other linux such as fedora it works as expected and runs both /etc/profile followed by the command specified on the '-c'. I'm fairly sure it used to work this way on Slackware (and every other UNIX I've ever used) too. "su -l root -c env" is a good way to see, as you'll find most the environment variables are missing.

I work for a company that rsyncs its media content to a datacentre daily for distribution via https to our clients. Unfortunately we've started to have problems with our rsync command/script.
It runs fine, but it seems to re-copy files that are already at the destination, of the same size and of the same date modified? We have hundreds of thousands of files, so this really cant happen. Our team here at the company use Windows XP to create the media, then put in on a the local suse server via SMB.
The code is
Code:
Both servers local and remote are Suse 10. The target/paths are irrelevant because they are correct and work.
Local server LS -L
Code:
For example
Remote server LS -L
Code:
As you can see local/remote files are the same, any ideas why this re-copy would happen? What's rsync playing at? We obviously just want it to sync new files and changes.

The requirements are:
SystemA must be 100% Identical to SystemB no matter what rsync runs into: symlinks, same size files with different dates, directories that no longer exist... etc.
What is your perfect rsync command?

mkvmerge -o <filename without extension>_TV.mkv -S <filename> && mkvextract tracks <filename> 3:<filename without extension>.*** && perl /home/brian/Desktop/ass2srt.pl <filename without extension>.*** && rm <filename without extension>.***
Doing these commands for multiple command line file inputs is the goal. So I can just type ./script.sh *.mkv in my terminal.This is what I have so far, but it doesn't work whatsoever.

I have the following rsync command for making some backups:
Code:
rsync -r --progress --delete -H --numeric-ids -a --exclude=.gvfs /source /media/Backup
If I paste that in my Terminal, it will perform a backup of all the files and show me what's going on in the Terminal window. But how can I make that into a launcher? I have made a launcher on my desktop with that code in its Properties, but double-clicking it starts the rsync process (I can see HDD activity) but a Terminal window won't open.

Thought I'd post it here because it's more server related than desktop... I have a script that does:

This is used to sync my local development snapshot with the live web server. There has to be a more compact way of doing this? Can I combine some of the rsyncs? Can I make the rsync set or keep the user and group affiliations? Can I exclude .* yet include .htaccess?

When I run rsync --recursive --times --perms --links --delete --exclude-from='Documents/exclude.txt' ./ /media/myusb/
where Documents/exclude.txt is
- /Downloads/
- /Desktop/books/
the files in those directories are still copied onto my USB.
And...
I used fetchmail to download all my gmail emails. When I run rsync -ar --exclude-from='/home/xtheunknown0/Documents/exclude.txt' ./ /media/myusb/ I get the first image at url.

I have a tiny shell script to rsync files between two servers and remove the source files.
This script works fine, when it has been initiated manually or even when the rsync command is executed on the command line.
But the same script doesn't work, when I try to automate it through crontab.
I am using 'abc' user to execute this rsync, instead of root, as root login to servers are restricted in all of our servers, by us.
As I mentioned earlier, manual execution works like charm!
When this rsync.sh is initiated through crontab, it runs the first command(chown abc.abc ...) perfectly without any issues. But the second line is not at all executed, and there is no log entry i can find at /mnt/xyz/folder/rsync.log.

I just tried to sync files from one server to another. After the sync process, I found the files are bigger than original ones.
I looked up the web and found someone mentions the rsync daemon. So I have to run the daemon on one server before I run the rsync?
The command I used is rsync --partial --progress -r source destination

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server and Postgresql 8.4. I have a .sh script that is run by cron every other hour. That works fine. The .sh script includes an rsync command that copies a postgresql dump .tar file to a remote archive location via ssh. That fails when run by cron; I think because it is (quietly) asking for the remote user's password (and not getting it). I set up the public/private ssh key arrangement. The script succeeds when run manually as the same user that the cron job uses, and does not ask for the password. I am able to ssh to the remote server from the source server (using the same username) and not get the password prompt (both directions), so why doesn't rsync work? I even put a .pgpass file in the root of that user's directory with that user's password, and the user/password are identical on both servers.
I think the problem is rsync is not able to use the ssh key correctly. I tried adding this to my script but it didn't help.
Code:
Here is the rsync command embedding in the .sh script.

Here is the cron entry:

I'm have been tasked with created a base Ubuntu image that can be used for cloning to multiple machines. As this is a network environment, each hostname will obviously need to be unique. Rather than manually changing the hostname each time a new, cloned machine is rolled out, I was wondering if there is a way to use a variable in the hostname (i.e., use a variable to truncate the the last 6 digits of the MAC address to the end of the static hostname--or any other unique variable for that matter--so it would look like hostname00E6D4).

I have a list of names (testnames.txt) and I have a set of log files (testlogdata.log). I'm trying to search the column in my log file for each of the names in my testnames.txt file, and output the result to individual files, name1.txt, name2.txt, name3.txt, etc the names in the column of my log file can appear in different formats , ie the name "Tom Smith" can appear as "tom_smith", "tom-smith", "ACME/tom.smith", "ACME/thomas.smith". etc. To allow for the variations, I have my names in the testnames.txt as expressions, ie, for tom smith, I use the expression "to.*smith", etc.I'm running the following command:
for i in $(cat testnames.txt); do awk '{if ($9~/$i/) print $0}' testlogdata.log > $ioutput.log; done
I want the command to read a value for i, insert it into the if ($9~/inserted value for i/, and dump each line from testlogdata.log into a file named <value-for-i>output.log.
