Hey there,

Even with the mod to the "if" line I posted afterward?

Thanks

Mike

Still i am getting the same error--

>mt_clean -a mtBackup -l /intasmut2/kp -t now
>Backup directory already exists
>mt_clean starts Now
>Either option l or L should be given to mt_clean
>Usage: mt_clean [-a mtDelete/mtBackup] [-l/-L Backuplocation] [-t now/cron/hh:mm]
>mt_clean is terminated

but it should not do like this.
it should take the backup at the desired location.

I got the problem resolved for the issue.Actually in the script i was setting the flag to 1 at one more place so i removed that part.

Now the problem is coming for the delete part----

for deletion we ned not to specify any location,it will delete all the files at the default location.

when i ran the scaript as-

webmut2@france>mt_clean -a mtDelete
Either option l or L should be given to mt_clean
Usage: mt_clean [-a mtDelete/mtBackup] [-l/-L Backuplocation] [-t now/cron/hh:mm]
mt_clean is terminated

instaed of this it should delete the files at the default location,Help me in this please.

Thanks...

I am able to resolve the problem,thanks guys for yourvalueable inputs,SPecial thanks to Mike who gave his time to me.

Thanks.

Hey again,

Just in case there's a misunderstanding. When you say:


Does that mean that you get the error about the -l or -L options aren't being used?

and for:


Do you mean that it's still throwing an error even though you've passed your program the option?

Just curious. If you can answer that I don't see the issue, I'll run it the next time I get a terminal

Thanks

Hey There,

No problem at all. If you want/need any extra help, you can PM me with entire script (I think - not sure about size requirements on the site) and I'd be happy to look at it.

Best wishes
