Hi All, I have written script to download a directory from remote machine which contains the always the updated data. I want to download that directory onto my local machine periodically with --link-dest option to my old download directory.
I have automated the script using " expect scripting" Following script I have written: $> cat ravi.ex #!/usr/bin/expect -- set LDEST [lindex $argv 0] ## for link-dest option set SRC [lindex $argv 1]## for source on remote m/c set DEST [lindex $argv 2]## for dest on local m/c eval exp_spawn rsync -avz --stats --progress --partial $LDEST $SRC $DEST expect "password" send "gbuilder\r" expect % set retVal [exp_wait] set pid [lindex $retVal 0] set spawn_id [lindex $retVal 1] set os_error [lindex $retVal 2] set exit_status [lindex $retVal 3] exit $exit_status ## returning the exit status of the rsync command. When I run the script I get the following output and it hangs indefinitely. ~/ravit/ravi.ex "--link-dest=/Build56/source/" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/Build58/source/" "./source/" exp_spawn rsync -avz --stats --progress --partial --link-dest=/Build56/source/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/Build58/source/ ./source/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: receiving file list ... 20900 files... (There are lot more files to be counted )Actually I have millions of files inside the directory. What might be the problem ? Any guess?? It hangs at different counts at different run. some times 19300 OR 20100 etc. Thanks for any help. -- Regards, Ravi.Thati
