Re: Shell Script help for backup

Список | pgsql-general |
Hey all, I'm thinkin' maybe I should post this in a shell scripting group but thought someone here may be able to help me out... I'm lookin' to run a shell script through the crontab on a nightly basis for backup, and not keep more than a week of backups. In those terms, I have a script working. But I wanna take the script to another level. Basically, I want it to email me if pg_dump fails, but I'm having a hard time doing so. here's what I got #!/bin/bash DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d` PGUSER=<my username> PGPASSWORD=<my password> export PGUSER PGPASSWORD pg_dump <dbname> | gzip > /folder/pg_backup.$DATE.gzip if [ !$? ] then find /folder/pg_backup/* -mtime 8 -exec rm -f {} \; echo "The PostGreSQL backup for today completed successfully" | mail ratlhead@ratlhead.com else echo "The PostGreSQL backup for today was unsuccessful" | mail ratlhead@ratlhead.com fi The problem is that is always gets detected as being successful, even if I say, comment out the export line of my user/pass. Any suggestions on how I can detect whether or not it worked? Something else I'll be lookin' to do is FTP'ing the backup to another server. If anyone has suggestions on where I can look for help on that, it'd be great. Thanks!
