Re: [flexbackup-help] good ole "ERROR: non-zero exit from"

[Jeff M. <in...@bi...>]

Yeah, I tried something along those lines..

I took the "ssh" line and plunked it into a file then
ran it..

ie: here is the content of the file

ssh -l backup bilbo.mydomain.ca cd "/usr/home" && sudo find -E . -depth 
! -fstype nfs ! -fsty
pe smbfs ! -fstype bind ! -fstype proc ! -fstype devpts ! -fstype devfs 
! -fstype tmpfs ! -ty
pe s -print0 | sudo tar --create --null --files-from=- 
--ignore-failed-read --same-permission
s --no-recursion --totals --label "level 0 bilbo.mydomain.ca:/usr/home 
Thu Feb 12 10:39:02 20
04 tar+gzip from gollum.mydomain.ca" --verbose --sparse -b 20 --file - | 
sudo gzip -4; x=(${P
IPESTATUS[@]}); i=0; while [ $i -lt ${#x[@]} ]; do [ ${x[$i]} -eq 0 ] || 
exit ${x[$i]}; i=$((
$i+1)); done

Then i ran it "sh foo.sh" and got

-su-2.05b$ sh foo.sh
foo.sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad substitution

Soooo I took out the first part [the ssh command] and just started the
script with the "sudo tar" line. I put this modified version on bilbo
and tried to run it and got the exact same error.

So i tink the error must be that chunk in the end, but i don't know 
shell scripting very well so i'm kinda lost.

Jeff.
