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

Yes!

PATH should be a reserved name, NOT to be used as a variable in scripts.

btw, what errors do you get running the script ?

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

I don't understand, too... do you mean the script should read

!/bin/bash

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

     cd /var/www/clients/
     cp -R $CLIPATH /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

instead? /i.e./ replace **all** instances of "PATH" with "CLIPATH" ? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
