Re: [CentOS] bash script reading directory with while and do

Hi,

I don't understand the procedure so, in theory the path should be /var/www/clients/client* (I have number from 1 to X) I replaced the PATH in read section

It's correct?

Hi you are overwriting the PATH env variable. change PATH to CLIPATH and all will work

hi everyone,

I'm searching to do a functionally bash script for copy many file inside in a directory the scenario is:

root path= /var/www/clients/ inside of this there are many subdirectories with this name: client1 to x (depends of the customer) it happens that a customer not renew the contract and I would stopping to do a backup directory for him.

this operation should be versatile and very easy so, I don't understand the error in this script. look below:

!/bin/bash

while read line; do read NR PATH NAME<<<$(IFS=" "; echo $line)

    cd /var/www/clients/
    cp -R $PATH /backup/temp/www/
    cd /backup/temp/www/

    tar cfz `date +%F`_$NAME.tar.gz web$NR/
    mv *.tar.gz /backup/www/test/
    rm -rf /backup/temp/www/*

done < sites.txt

anyone can help me, please? thanks in advance
