Shell Script before Backup: time limit ?
Hello Dave,
I have a smart BU schedule (cloning HD A -> B), starting after an Applescript (advanced Shell script before BU option). This script copies a large folder to HD A (folder copy HD C -> A). I have tested it but it fails. What could have happened ? Is there a time limit SD can wait, before starting its job ? In that case, what is the time limit ? What could be the solution ? Thanks in advance. Regards? |
Fails how? I don't really have much information here...

More details: 1 - The preliminary copy (Applescript) did not complete. Don't ask me why... 2 - SD did not start its own smartBU. |
I'd need to see the log, Harry; can you send it into the support email address?

I'll do that as soon as possible. Alternatively, I could independantly schedule the Applescript initial copy, with Cron (outside SD), and then schedule SD secondary copy script, after the initial AS completion. Thanks for your help. Regards. |
Sure, you can do that.

OK. That's not really a shell script. You need to create a shell script that runs that -- e.g:
Code:
#!/bin/sh |
Great !
I will test that tomorrow. I apologize. Now, I know there is a différence between a simple AS and a shell script. :o Thanks again. |
My problem is not solved.:confused:
If I am in the Terminal: --- osascript "/Users/Medecins/Documents/AS.perso/Sat.BU.scpt" --- The job is perfectly done. Now, if I am in SD and launch the shell script (before a SD BU option): --- #!/bin/sh osascript "/Users/Medecins/Documents/AS.perso/Sat.BU.scpt" --- SD stops when launching the shell script. Log: ---- | Error | sh: line 1: /Users/Medecins/Documents/AS.perso/TShirtBU: Permission denied ---- Any hint ? Thanks in advance. |
You need to set the script permissions to allow execute:
chmod +x the-file-name |
Does the script become:
--- #!/bin/sh osascript "/Users/Medecins/Documents/AS.perso/Sat.BU.scpt" chmod +x "Sat.BU.scpt" --- As you can see I am real shell script newbie... Sorry and thanks agian. |
No, the "chmod" is done in Terminal, to give the script file execution permission. This is the script you've written (hopefully as a plain text file), not the applescript.

I have no issue in Terminal, even without the "chmod". The issue only occurs when SD reads the shell script (->permission denied). I do not knom if this permission problem has to be settled in the shell script or the Applescript. It seems it is rather a shell sript problem, rather than an Applescript one. Alternatevely, I could write a pure vanilla shell script, using the "rsync" command, but I am afraid of other new scripting issues. Any hint ? Thanks in avance. |
It must not be readable or executable. So:
chmod +rw /Users/Medecins/Documents/AS.perso/TShirtBU |
