lftp "attach" cmd in a shell script

[Stéphane Durand]

Hi all,

I am trying to script a command in which if an instance of lftp is already running, then I would simply like to add some items in the queue, therefore I would need to execute the command attach passing as argument the PID. This works fine in manual operations, but I would like to automate it within a shell script and pass as arguments the rest of the command once attached to the proper session. i,e as following

lftp -e "attach 24164;queue mirror -c ... ...;bye"

The problem is that it returns the following

[24164] Attached to terminal.
[24164] Detaching from the terminal to complete transfers...
mirror: Not connected
[634] Moving to background to complete transfers...

The mirror instruction not being added to the queue.

Any idea to solve this issue? Any help appreciated. Many thanks.

Mvh, Cordialement, Regards,

Unfortunately, it's not possible to do now. I have fixed it in github,
so you can try it this way:

echo "queue mirror -c ..." | lftp -c attach

Remember that it won't work in released versions yet.

Hi,

Tried it, but it fails on configure when I run the configure file.

I tried with
$>./configure --with-openssl

$> ./configure --with-openssl=/opt/bin/openssl

$> ./configure --with-openssl --without-gnutls

$>./configure --with-openssl=/opt/bin/openssl --without-gnutls

An always get the following message

/configure: line 36323: syntax error near unexpected token `LIBGNUTLS,'
./configure: line 36323: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBGNUTLS, gnutls >= 1.0.0,'

Any ideas?

Thanks

Did you use autogen.sh ?

[Stéphane Durand]

yes, sorry I forgot to indicate that. I used autogen with the same arguments as described in my previous mail.

I also tried to install both gnutls and gnutls-devel pkg for my distro, but same result.

Thanks again for your help.

Do you have the file /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 and pkgconfig package installed?

[Stéphane Durand]

Hi, thanks again for your feedback.

I will check that and report. When you mean pkgconfig, you mean this one right? http://linux.die.net/man/1/pkg-config

Hi,

Finally got to test it. My system is as follow

$> ll /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2027 2010-05-14 10:33 /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4

$> pkg-config --version
0.15.0

and I still get the problem... any ideas? Is there a specific version of pkgconfig required?

Thanks!

ok. I've installed pkgconfig v0.28 and now it seems to go a little further. but I get a new error

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `src/Makefile.in'

When I check, there is no Makefile.in in the src dir on my git clone and not on the git repo either. any idea where I can find it?

thx!

[Stéphane Durand]

ok. I guess I understand why it is not there... seems to be generated by autogen.sh.

If I fake a src/Makefile.in, it does complain about lib/Makefile.in and I guess those are quite key to generate the libs that the exec will use after...

Anyway, those are my findings, any idea are welcome, I will continue searching and post if I find anything.

Cheers!

I have placed current snapshot at
ftp://ftp.yar.ru/lftp/devel/lftp-pre4.4.9-20130718.tar.gz
Please test.

[Stéphane Durand]

Configure passed

will keep posted.

Thank you very very much again for all your help.

Still wondering why I could not get the last git to compile...

Hi,

I could use this feature too, this way I would not need to have multiple
slots open on the ftp server, when another mirrors starts.

Thanks.
