Unix shell script - novice question

[jej1216]

Don't know if this is the right forum for this question, but here goes........

I am just beginning to have to write shell scripts to run SQR processes in UNIX.

I have a script that is having problems copying a file. My code snippet is:

#copy output file out_file1
if [[ -s $out_file1 ]]
then
cp $out_file1 /cde/datasnd/CLIENT/$pg_name2.csv
chmod 666 /cde/datasnd/CLIENT/$pg_name2.csv
file_date=`date +'%Y%m%d.%H.%M.%S'`
arc_file=$ARC_LOC/$pg_name.$FILE_DB.$file_date.dta
cp $out_file1 $arc_file
# Payroll Automation project - copy outbound files to Payroll directories
$SH_LOC/pr_filecopy.sh O D $arc_file NORUNID
gzip $arc_file
chmod 666 $arc_file.gz
# comment out - mv $out_file1 $DATA_LOC/$pg_name2.csv
else
MSG="Process Notice - Output file $out_file1 does not exist"
SUBJ="Process Notice - $FILE_DB - Output file not found"
echo $MSG
# send_message $RECIPIENTS "$MSG" "$SUBJ"
fi


The error messages I get are:
+ [[ -s /opt/PROD/CLIENT/DATA/group.recog_bw.csv ]]
+ cp /opt/PROD/CLIENT/DATA/group.recog_bw.csv /cde/datasnd/CLIENT/group.recog_bw.csv
cp: cannot create /cde/datasnd/CLIENT/group.recog_bw.csv: No such file or directory
+ chmod 666 /cde/datasnd/CLIENT/group.recog_bw.csv
chmod: WARNING: can't access /cde/datasnd/CLIENT/group.recog_bw.csv

I have checked the folder /cde/datasnd/CLIENT/ and it exists.
I have looked at the /opt/PROD/CLIENT/DATA/group.recog_bw.csv and it is there and has 777 rights.
I can manually upload the file into the /cde/datasnd/CLIENT/ with no problems.

There has to be a script error, but I don't see it.

Any Unix shell gurus out there?

Thanks,

jej

Do you have read or execute permissions to all of the directories in the path in question?
You need r or x permissions for cde, datasnd and CLIENT to be able to create that file.

How do you upload the file manually? Your script may be running under different credentials.

I'll check my permissions on cde, datasnd and CLIENT folders. Is there a way I can set those myself?

I've written a few scripts that do a similar function, and the code looks the same to me.

I manuall moved the file by right clicking on the file created in /opt/PROD/CLIENT/DATA/ and downloading it locally, then right clicking on the local copy and uploading it to /cde/datasnd/CLIENT/ using SHH FTP application.

if [[ -s $out_file1 ]]

Why are you using double brackets?

chmod a=rwx {all permissions to all users...}

chmod u=x {add execute permission for user}

chmod a=r { read permission for all....}

chown yourname filename
{change ownership of filename to yourname}
