24 Hi Dirk
25
26 Below is my script
27 #############################################################################
28
29 #!/bin/bash
30 #rsync mysql database shell script
31 #author kaushal
32 #created on 21/03/2008
33
34 TIMESTAMP=`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S:%N`
35
36 if rsync -av /var/lib/mysql kaushal@host77:/var/lib/
37 >/tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log 2>&1
38 then
39 echo "Success"
40 else
41 echo "Please check the file rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log for errors."
42 fi
43
44 #############################################################################

46 so according to your suggestion where does this line fits "cat
47 /tmp/file|mailx -s "my subject" systems@×××××××.com" <systems@×××××××.com>
48 in my above bash script

50 Thanks and Regards
