Quoting Kaushal Shriyan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
so according to your suggestion where does this line fits "cat
/tmp/file|mailx -s "my subject" [EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
in my above bash script
Dirk gave a lovely one-liner, but my guess is you'll get sick of
having to actually check the body of the e-mail to know whether there
is a problem, so you could also put the system call to mailx in the
if-then-else-fi and indicate in the subject line whether it is a
success or failure.
Also, you want to cut out the echo or else cron will send an e-mail
(remember cron sends an e-mail if there's any output from the
command), which is redundant now that you're calling mailx.
Finally, note that you left a '>' out of your rsync call. It's fixed below.
#!/bin/bash
#rsync mysql database shell script
#author kaushal
#created on 21/03/2008
TIMESTAMP=`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S:%N`
if rsync -av /var/lib/mysql [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/ \
> /tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log 2>&1
then
cat /tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log | \
mailx -s "Success: hostxx:yyDB refresh daily" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
else
cat /tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log | \
mailx -s "Error: hostxx:yyDB refresh daily" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
fi
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
-Collin
