for i in logapplication*.tar.gz
do
scp -p $i user@remote-host:
if ((! $?))
then
rm $i
else
echo "copy of $I failed"
fi
done
$? is the return status of the previous command. If the scp is successful,
it will return 0.
0, somewhat contradictory, means "false" to an if-statement. Hence, "if ((!
$?))" = "if not false" = "if copy successful", remove the source file.
