I have a script that mounts an samba shared drive, copies the contents
if newer to the Linux box, and then umounts the share.
Sample script
---
mount -t smbfs -o username=x,password=y //machine/share /mnt/network
cp --recursive --preserve --verbose --parents --update /mnt/network/*
/backup/machine \
> log1.txt 2>log2.txt
umount /mnt/network
------------
End script
A couple of easy questions I can't seem to find answers to.
1. How can I pass in parameters from the command line to use as
variables.
myscript value1 value2
2. How can I have it dump a message to a log file if something fails and
then cease running the script.
if mount fail append to end of log1.txt "mounting failed",
terminate script.
I was under the impression that you could have a script terminate if a
command failed by having && separate the commands but this just
generates an error.
