Cygwin Rsync Script Copying File Incorrectly

What I did in windows was create images of my drive and restore them.

in linux I am running

Code:

rsync -aAXv --exclude={"/home/*","/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} /* /path/to/backup/folder

and this creates a folder for me with all my files, and apparently saves meta data like permissions and paths...

Since I'm using arch and things break sometimes,I'm booted into a CLI with errors and cannot figure my way out since I'm a noob... would I be able to just delete my entire root and replace it with the rsync backup without a problem?

Hi all,

I am trying to write a script that syncs files from source to destination. I have one centralized server that can ssh to any servers without pw. Now when I run the script, it can ssh to source server perfectly fine, but you need to enter password for destination server. Was wondering how I can clean this up before I start using case statements

Below is a sample I wrote

#!/bin/bash

#This scripts syncs shit

echo "Type in ID: "
read ID

echo "Type in Server : " #source server
read S

echo "Type in Destination Server: "
read DS

if [ $S == 9 ]; then
ssh -t "root@"$S"webserver1" "rsync -av /home/rlui/"$ID "root@"$DS"webserver2:/home/rlui/";
ssh -t "root@"$S"webserver1" "rsync -av /home/rlui/tmp/"$ID "root@sl"$DS"webserver2:/home/rlui/tmp/"
exit 1

where S and DS are cluster numbers

I apologize in advance if I am not clear on anything

I am using Rsync to backup files to a another machine, the users on my fileserver do not exist on the backup server so Rsync throws errors about the permissions. It copies the files fine but I want to get rid of the errors and have Rsync ignore the permissions when backing up.

/backup is a mounted ftp directory

Below is the current command and output:
Code:

I tried the flag to adding the no flag to -p but it still didn't work, see below:

I have an expect script to SSH to a remote host and obtain some user inputs and information about the server/network configuration. The responses are saved in a text file that I then need to copy to my local host so that I can read the lines into variables for use in the parent shell script.

Is there a way to do this without needing to enter the username and password for the local host to use function scp? I have tried the following in my expect script to no avail:
Code:

spawn scp $usr@$host:$flnm .
expect {
	-re "(.*)assword:" { 
		send -s "$pswd\r"
	}
}

I have also tried to directly scp the file and enter the username and password to try to debug the issue, and that doesn't work either:
Code:

spawn scp file.txt user@host:file.txt
expect {
	-re "(.*)assword:" {
		send -s "password\r"
	}
	"you sure you want to continue connecting" {
		send -s "yes\r"
		exp_continue
	}
}

In both scenarios I have used exp_internal 1, and there are no errors. But I do not end up with the file on my local host.

Following the copy, I would like to delete the file from the remote host. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Hello,

I am working on a board (sbc6000x with at91sam9261 micro, linux 2.6.24 to be precise) and having some fun making script i wanted to make real application.
The board is coming with a cross compilation toolchain. When trying to make a simple "hello world" executable to print on the terminal there is no problem.
I open my terminal, give the path of the compiler, cd into the folder where my .c file is and then i type :
Code:

arm-linux-gcc -o hello hello.c

Which create my executable "hello" and this one is working. But like i said, this program only played with the terminal.

The board is starting with a script calling another executable which use the lcd display, i have the source of this executable. My idea was to look at what was in the source of this application (lots of folders and files) in order to understand how it was working. I wanted to test the toolchain on the source (with the makefile) to see if i was able to generate an executable from a application with folderS/fileS but when i try to "make" it i have this error.

In my understanding this is an object file but aside from that i don't see why it would not works.

Thank you for your future answers !

hello all,

please help me with python ftplib. i was trying to copy files from my linux machine to a windows server using ftplib. everything was working good. but i'm only able to copy files from the same directory the script is. how do i copy files from a different directory? i always get "file not found error message". here's my code :

Code:

tester_name = str (socket.gethostname())
def upload(ftp, file):
    ext = os.path.splitext(file)[1]
    if ext in (".txt", ".htm", ".html"):
        ftp.storlines("STOR " + file, open(file))
    else:
        ftp.storbinary("STOR " + file, open(file, "rb"), 1024)



parse_source_path = ('/path/to/where/i/go/')
parse_source_file_list = os.listdir(parse_source_path)

ftp = ftplib.FTP("server_IP")
ftp.login("username", "pass")

folder_list = []

ftp.dir(folder_list.append)

if str(tester_name) not in str(folder_list) :
    ftp.mkd("%s"%tester_name)
    ftp.cwd("%s"%tester_name)
    for files in parse_source_file_list :
        print files
        upload(ftp, files)


else :
    print "later"

Dear All

I need your help.

BR,

hello Experts!
need some help here with python FTP. so what i'm trying to do is, from a linux machine, ill be sending over a python script to a windows machine via python ftp. that works fine with no problem. now, i want to execute that python script i sent remotely. im having trouble with that. here's my code to just execute the script:

p.s : please dont suggest other options such as python paramiko due to many network security reasons

Code:

ftp = ftplib.FTP("windows machine name")
ftp.login("username", "password")
ftp.cwd("where\\python\\script\\is kept\\")

ftp.sendcmd("python myscript.py")

but looks like it doesn't recognize that command. how do i accomplish this please?

This is my script and the syntax to run this script is give ip and next will be the file or script you want to perform on remote server



#!/bin/bash

# The private key used to identify this machine
IDENTITY_KEY=/home/adnew.pem

syntax()
{
echo "Syntax: Ec2.sh server_ip scriptFile]"
echo "For example: ./Ec2.sh server_ip scriptFile"
exit 1
}

if [ $# -ne 2 ]
then
echo not enough arguments
syntax
fi


echo "Running script $2 on $1"
ssh -ttq -i $IDENTITY_KEY ec2-user@$1 sudo -i 'bash -s' < $2
exit
exit
echo "Done"



on script file i have give for testing

touch /root/test
ls /root/test
exit
exit

it makes the file but do not show the ls output by giving error


tcgetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device

exit


what I have to do ??

hi experts

I am running a large rsync job, but the exclude list doesn't seem to be working:

The rsync log shows this file as being copied over
/a/test 4.11/Logs/2015-03-03_PID_1234/x.y

but the exclude file clearly includes this line:
/a/test*/Logs/*PID*

So shouldn't it have been excluded?
Thanks
