So this is my script
#!/bin/bash
PATH=/SomeFolder/file2.txt;
scp -3 user@server1:/SomeFolder/file.txt user@server2:$PATH;
I get this error
main.sh: line 3: scp: command not found
If I put /SomeFolder/file2.txt
in place of of "$PATH"
it still doesn't work - same error. It's only after I remove entire second line ( PATH
definition) does it work.
I simplified my script, the PATH
is defined by executing a script inside another server but that doesn't matter. I tested it like what you see and I concluded that the error is due to PATH
being defined in the first place.
It is happening because PATH
is a system variable that defines directories where the programs and scripts should be looked for. You can view its value by executing echo $PATH
. In your script you are setting PATH
to /SomeFolder/file2.txt
so the program scp
that is usually in /usr/bin/
can't be found. Just change the name of variable PATH
in your script to something else.
