[英]check if find command return something (in bash script)
i have the following bash script on my server: 我的服务器上有以下bash脚本:
today=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
find /backups/www -type f -mtime -1|xargs tar uf /daily/backup-$today.tar
as you can see it creates backups of files modified/created in the last 24h. 如您所见,它创建了过去24小时内修改/创建的文件的备份。 However if no files are found, it creates corrupted tar file.
但是,如果找不到文件,则会创建损坏的tar文件。 I would like to wrap it in if..fi statement so id doesn't create empty/corrupted tar files.
我想将其包装在if..fi语句中,以便id不会创建空的/损坏的tar文件。
Can someone help me modify this script? 有人可以帮我修改此脚本吗?
Thanks 谢谢
You can check if result is ok then check if result is empty : 您可以检查结果是否正常,然后检查结果是否为空:
today=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
results=`find /backups/www -type f -mtime -1`
if [[ 0 == $? ]] ; then
if [[ -z $results ]] ; then
echo "No files found"
else
tar uf /daily/backup-$today.tar $results
fi
else
echo "Search failed"
fi
find /backups/www -type f -mtime -1 -exec tar uf /daily/backup-$today.tar {} +
Using -exec
is preferable to xargs
. 使用
-exec
比xargs
更可取。 There's no pipeline needed and it will handle file names with spaces, newlines, and other unusual characters without extra work. 不需要管道,它无需额外的工作即可处理带有空格,换行符和其他不寻常字符的文件名。 The
{}
at the end is a placeholder for the file names, and +
marks the end of the -exec
command (in case there were more arguments to find
). 末尾的
{}
是文件名的占位符,而+
标记-exec
命令的末尾(如果要find
参数更多)。
As a bonus it won't execute the command if no files are found. 另外,如果找不到文件,它将不会执行命令。
One relatively simple trick would be this: 一个相对简单的技巧是:
today=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
touch /backups/www/.timestamp
find /backups/www -type f -mtime -1|xargs tar uf /daily/backup-$today.tar
That way you're guaranteed to always find at least one file (and it's minimal in size). 这样一来,您可以确保始终找到至少一个文件(并且该文件的大小最小)。
如果没有输入, xargs -r
不执行任何操作。
