rsync - Dec 2009 - rsync email notification on success and failure + Log

Hi,

 

I have a bash script for rsync that should tranfer all my filer from one drive
to the other.

 

I would like to know how I can make the script sending me an email after the
script is run and be able to know if it was a success or not and also if
possible to include the log file.

 

This is my script:

 

!/bin/bash


rsync -av --delete --log-file=/home/duffed/RSyncLog/$(date
+%Y%m%d)_rsync_Multimedia.log /media/Multimedia/ /media/MultimediaBackUp


 

Thanks a lot!

S?bastien

I do it this way:

rsync ${ALLOPTS} ${SRC} ${DST} >>${PROT} 2>&1
RC=$?
DAT2="`date +%y%m%d.%H%M`"
if test "${RC}" = "0" -o "${RC}" = "23";
then
   grep "^Total file size: " ${PROT} | \
    ( read a b c d e
      echo "${DAT2} ${NAM} size: $d bytes."
>>${DST}/.gwdg-mirror
    )
else
   touch ${DST}/.gwdg-mirror
fi
echo "==== end   ======== RC=${RC} ============ ${DAT1} ${DAT2}"
>>${PROT}

MAILIT=yes
if [ "${RC}" = "0" ]; then
   NUMFIL=`grep "^Number of files transferred:" ${PROT} | \
             (while read n o f t X; do echo -n ${X}; done)`
   if [ "${NUMFIL}" = "0" ]; then
     MAILIT=no
   fi
fi

if [ "${MAILIT}" = "yes" ]; then
   V1="is uptodate"
   V2="is a hard link"
   V3="^backed up "
   V4="^deleting "
   grep -v "${V1}\|${V2}\|${V3}\|${V4}" ${PROT} | \
     mail -s"${SUBJ} (RC=${RC})" ${MAILTO}
#else
#  mail -s"${SUBJ} (RC=${RC}) __nomail__" ${MAILTO} <${PROT}
fi

Hi:

Let cron(8) run your script for you. Cron will happily email you the
verbose output from rsync after its task has run.
man cron
man crontab
man 5 crontab

You may want to have a look at LBackup. The latest alpha release includes
support for backup specific mail templates.

If you want to use your backup script, rather than LBackup; you could use the
lmail command to manage email delivery of your backup reports.

If you are interested in rolling your own email delivery system then the source
code for lmail may be helpful and is available from :
http://www.lbackup.org/source
