Hi All,

I have run the below script but getting one small error. please help me to solve this.

ERROR:

Code:

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Code:

#! /bin/bash
CEP=/home/user01/exercise/CEP
ARCH=/home/user01/exercise/archive
LOG=/home/user01/exercise/logs
#################### initialization
# Archival date
if [ `date +%a` = "Mon" ]; then
        let arc_date=`date +%Y%m%d --date='3 days ago'` # friday
else
        let arc_date=`date +%Y%m%d --date='yesterday'`
fi
#################### archive previous files
mkdir -p $ARCH/$arc_date
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
        tar -Pczf $ARCH/${arc_date}/${arc_date}.tgz $LOG/*.log $CEP/*.log.* $CEP/Adapter/*.csv $CEP/*.csv
rm -rf $LOG/*.log
rm -rf $CEP/*.csv
rm -rf $CEP/*.log.*
rm -rf $CEP/Adapter/*.csv
fi

Thanks

Actually got below errors but other errors are due to non avaibilty of files
but my question is why their is tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
?

Code:

tar: /home/user01/exercise/logs/*.log: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: /home/user01/exercise/CEP/*.log.*: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: /home/user01/exercise/CEP/Adapter/*.csv: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: /home/user01/exercise/CEP/*.csv: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Try to make sure there are files in the 'tar' parameters.

Several ways you can do it, one of them is:

Code:

 
mTarFiles=''
 
for mFName in $LOG/*.log; do
  if [[ -f ${mFName} ]]; then
    mTarFiles=${mTarFiles}' '${mFName}
  fi
done
 
for mFName in $CEP/*.log.*; do
  if [[ -f ${mFName} ]]; then
    mTarFiles=${mTarFiles}' '${mFName}
  fi
done
 
for mFName in $CEP/Adapter/*.csv; do
  if [[ -f ${mFName} ]]; then
    mTarFiles=${mTarFiles}' '${mFName}
  fi
done
 
for mFName in $CEP/*.csv; do
  if [[ -f ${mFName} ]]; then
    mTarFiles=${mTarFiles}' '${mFName}
  fi
done
...
if [[ "${mTarFiles}" != "" ]]; then
  tar -Pczf $ARCH/${arc_date}/${arc_date}.tgz ${mTarFiles}
fi
...
