find a file on a remote machine

saccskiz · #1 (**permalink**) 03-31-04, 19:46

I have 2 unix servers dev1 and dev2.
I have a shell script that runs in dev1 that is supposed
to look in the dev2 server for a specific file (clearance.dat) which
is located at /home/biotox folder(on dev2)

How can I mention this in the script tht runs on dev1?

Thanks

A possible solution is to use rsh

Code:

if [ `rsh dev2 -l user_dev2 'test -e /home/biotox/clearance.dat ; echo $?'` -eq 0 ]
   then echo 'File found'
   else echo 'File not found'
fi

I tried what you mentioned,
But when I run the script, I get

remshd: Login incorrect.
spk4rsh: 0041-003 No tickets file found. You need to run "k4init".
nologin: test: 0403-004 Specify a parameter with this command.
File Not found

What could be wrong ? Atleast it spit out "File Not found". But the file is actually there and should be found.

Thanks

The problem comes from the rsh command.
There is a problem of identification on the remote (dev2) server.

Contact your system manager.
