FTP grep issue

[dsm666]

I copied the information from this thread

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=964119#post

to reconstruct my ftp script; however I am not getting any emails when the 550 error occurs. I checked sendmail and it's working fine:
ftplog=$HOME/log/preprocess.$$

ftp -nv $FTP_HOST<<END_SCRIPT>>$ftplog
quote USER $FTP_USER
quote PASS $FTP_PASSWD
lcd $TEMPDIR
cd $REMOTE_DIR
binary
rename $BNAME $newfname
get $newfname
dir
sleep 5
delete $newfname
quit
END_SCRIPT

xfrcnt1=`grep "^550 " $ftplog | wc -l`
xfrcnt2=`grep "^5[0-9][0-9] " $ftplog | wc -l`

if [[ $xfrcnt1 -ne 0 ]];then
echo "ftp 550 error $MBOX $BNAME" | mailx -s "ftp 550 error $MBOX $BNAME" myemailaddress
elif [[ $xfrcnt2 -ne 0 ]];then
echo "ftp 5xx error $MBOX $BNAME" | mailx -s "ftp 5xx error $MBOX $BNAME" myemailaddress
else
echo "success"
fi

If someone could take a look, i'd really appreciate it, thanks

Do you get any output if you run grep "^5[0-9][0-9] " manually against the FTP log?

Incidentally, you can use grep -c string filename instead of grep string filename | wc -l.

This is what I get when I ran that:
grep "^5[0-9][0-9]" log/preprocess.29314
550 pgi_pm.UPD: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
550 pgi_pm.UPD: The system cannot find the file specified.

also here is the output from the log file:
+ + wc -l
+ grep ^550 /ceunix_test/ceunix/log/preprocess.29314
xfrcnt1= 2
+ + wc -l
+ grep ^5[0-9][0-9] /ceunix_test/ceunix/log/preprocess.29314
xfrcnt2= 2
+ [[ 2 -ne 0 ]]
+ mailx -s ftp 550 error H478BBBX pgi_pm.pcs myemailaddress
+ echo ftp 550 error H478BBBX pgi_pm.pcs
+ mailx -s ftp 550 error H478BBBX pgi_pm.pcs myemailaddress
+ echo ftp 550 error H478BBBX pgi_pm.pcs

Try something along the lines of

if grep -q ^500 $ftplog
then
 echo "ftp 550 error $MBOX $BNAME" | mailx -s "ftp 550 error $MBOX $BNAME" myemailaddress
elif grep -q ^5[0-9][0-9] $ftplog
  echo "ftp 5xx error $MBOX $BNAME" | mailx -s "ftp 5xx error $MBOX $BNAME" myemailaddress
else
  echo success
fi

Strange enough you log file says that mailx has been launched 2 times ...

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi Columb
this is what I see when adding your code:
+ grep -q ^500 /ceunix_test/ceunix/log/preprocess.log
grep: illegal option -- q
Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .
+ grep -q ^5[0-9][0-9] /ceunix_test/ceunix/log/preprocess.log
grep: illegal option -- q
Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .

 

[columb]

Hmm... no -q option on grep? You'll need to redirect your output to /dev/null so

if grep ^500 $ftplog >/dev/null
then
 echo "ftp 550 error $MBOX $BNAME" | mailx -s "ftp 550 error $MBOX $BNAME" myemailaddress
elif grep ^5[0-9][0-9] $ftplog > /dev/null
  echo "ftp 5xx error $MBOX $BNAME" | mailx -s "ftp 5xx error $MBOX $BNAME" myemailaddress
else
  echo success
fi

Columb, you're grepping for 500 to report a 550 error.
