Always lurking. Love this list and have learn ed a lot. ;) I have simple script that works but I would like to make it a bit more robust and have no idea where to begin as I'm a newbie to shell scripting.
Here's the simplicity of it today: # start ################################ #!/bin/sh scp -i [key] [server0-log] [local0-log] scp -i [key] [server1-log] [local1-log] # end ################################## This is run as a user cron job daily. The script is going to work for at least another day. Then I will have to edit it and it will work for another month. My server logs are named dynamically as so: %Y%M_server0.log So the point of all this? How do I add %Y%M features to my script? I don't know C, but decent with Java, so the bridge is not to far to cross. I might be over thinking this and the feature is in the shell. Thanks in advance for any help.
