hi everyone
a good basher around here?
I try in a script:
_rdiffBack="rdiff-backup -v5 --tempdir /tmp/ --no-eas
--exclude-other-filesystems --exclude-symbolic-links"
_rdffiExclude="--exclude '**/~*' --exclude '**.tmp'
--exclude-regexp '(.glusterfs|.trashcan|temp)'"
_execCom=${!2}
_sourceDir=${1}
_backupTo=${3}
__backMeUp() {
for _sourceDir in ${_sourceDirs[@]}; do
echo \$ ${_execCom} ${_rdffiExclude} ${_sourceDir}/
${_backupTo} \> ${_logFile} | ${_copyToLog}
${_execCom} ${_rdffiExclude} ${_sourceDir}/
${_backupTo} > ${_logFile} 2>&1
done
}
case ${1} in
rdiffThis)
declare -a _sourceDirs=( /0-ALL.DATA/rdiffThis );
__backMeUp ${@}
;;
esac
this is a snippet which may look obscure but obvious is:
rdiff-backup some data, just that.
And when I run it as a script
~]$ runme.sh rdiffThis _rdiffBack toHere
I see:
Fatal Error: Fatal Error: The file specification
''**'
cannot match any files in the base directory
You notice that the script echos what it is meant to
execute, which suffice I copy&paste that echo in bash
prompt... and it works!? No "Fatal Error"
And the problem seems to specifically be a shell pattern for
--exclude. Take two --exclude out, having:
_rdffiExclude="--exclude-regexp '(.glusterfs|.trashcan|temp)'"
and script works when invoked, fine!
I've been fiddling around but failed to make rdiff-backup
1.2.8 play along.
Must be something trivial, right?
b.w.
