For branching I from a certain CL and have it as a changelist I realized that Perforce uses the copy keyword. I'm tryin to use the same keyword but getting an error saying that the options are invalid. Following is my code:
result = self.p4.run("copy","-c" + change_List,"-F", Path_1+"/...#"+ CL, Path_2+"/...")
am I doing something wrong? Can anyone explain to me what the wrong part of my code is?
See the usage info for p4 copy:
C:\Perforce\test>p4 help copy
copy -- Copy one set of files to another
p4 copy [options] fromFile[rev] toFile
p4 copy [options] -b branch [-r] [toFile[rev] ...]
p4 copy [options] -b branch -s fromFile[rev] [toFile ...]
p4 copy [options] -S stream [-P parent] [-F] [-r] [toFile[rev] ...]
options: -c changelist# -f -n -v -m max -q
There is no form of the command that takes multiple file arguments and a -F flag. The -F flag is only applicable if you're using streams, since its purpose is to allow you to override the defined "flow" of the two streams.

When I use rsync --exclude, like so:
rsync -avzhe --exclude={'/var/','/generated/','/app/etc/env.php'} --dry-run /home/site/ /home/site2/
...the directory /var/ is not excluded.
However, if I do something like this:
rsync -avzhe --exclude={'/ignore/','/var/','/generated/','/app/etc/env.php'} --dry-run /home/site/ /home/site2/
Everything works as expected, except the /ignore/ directory is fake. It seems that when using the exclude={} syntax, the first value is ignored.
What am I doing wrong?
Your code is:
rsync -avzhe --exclude={'/var/','/generated/','/app/etc/env.php'} [...]
The {} is bash-syntax. After expansion, the commandline becomes:
rsync -avzhe --exclude=/var/ --exclude=/generated/ [...]
Expanding the rsync options gives:
rsync -a -v -z -h -e --exclude=/var/ --exclude=/generated/ [...]
The rsync option -e is defined as:
-e, --rsh=COMMAND specify the remote shell to use
From this we can see that the first argument after the -e is used as COMMAND (instead of being treated as an exclude rule). You are performing a local copy, so this option/argument pair is unused. Had you been performing a remote copy, you would have seen an error like: rsync: Failed to exec --exclude=/var/
The solution is to either specify a COMMAND for -e or not to use it.
Does tcsh support launching itself in a remote directory via an argument?
The setup I am dealing with does not allow me to chdir to the remote directory before invoking tcsh, and I'd like to avoid having to create a .sh file for this workflow.
Here are the available arguments I see for v6.19:
> tcsh --help
tcsh 6.19.00 (Astron) 2015-05-21 (x86_64-unknown-Linux) options wide,nls,dl,al,kan,rh,color,filec
-b file batch mode, read and execute commands from 'file'
-c command run 'command' from next argument
-d load directory stack from '~/.cshdirs'
-Dname[=value] define environment variable `name' to `value' (DomainOS only)
-e exit on any error
-f start faster by ignoring the start-up file
-F use fork() instead of vfork() when spawning (ConvexOS only)
-i interactive, even when input is not from a terminal
-l act as a login shell, must be the only option specified
-m load the start-up file, whether or not owned by effective user
-n file no execute mode, just check syntax of the following `file'
-q accept SIGQUIT for running under a debugger
-s read commands from standard input
-t read one line from standard input
-v echo commands after history substitution
-V like -v but including commands read from the start-up file
-x echo commands immediately before execution
-X like -x but including commands read from the start-up file
--help print this message and exit
--version print the version shell variable and exit
This works, but is suboptimal because it launches two instances of tcsh:
tcsh -c 'cd /tmp && tcsh'
I'm looking for an rsync-like program which will create any missing parent directories on the remote side.
For example, if I have /top/a/b/c/d on one server and only /top/a exists on the remote server, I want to copy d to the remote server and have the b and c directories created as well.
The command:
rsync /top/a/b/c/d remote:/top/a/b/c
won't work because /tmp/a/b doesn't exist on the remote server. And if it did exist then the file d would get copied to the path /top/a/b/c.
This is possible to do with rsync using --include and --exclude switches, but it is very involved, e.g.:
rsync -v -r a dest:dir \
--include 'a/b' \
--include 'a/b/c' \
--include 'a/b/c/d' \
--include 'a/b/c/d/e' \
--exclude 'a/*' \
--exclude 'a/b/*' \
--exclude 'a/b/c/*' \
--exclude 'a/b/c/d/*'
will only copy a/b/c/d/e to dest:dir/a/b/c/d/e even if the intermediate directories have files. (Note - the includes must precede the excludes.)
Are there any other options?
You may be looking for
rsync -aR
for example:
rsync -a --relative /top/a/b/c/d remote:/
See also this trick in other question.
rsync -aq --rsync-path='mkdir -p /tmp/imaginary/ && rsync' file user#remote:/tmp/imaginary/
From http://www.schwertly.com/2013/07/forcing-rsync-to-create-a-remote-path-using-rsync-path/, but don't copy and paste from there, his syntax is butchered.
it lets you execute arbitrary command to setup the path for rsync executables.
As of version 3.2.3 (6 Aug 2020), rynsc has a flag for this purpose.
From the rsync manual page (man rsync):
--mkpath create the destination's path component
i suggest that you enforce the existence manually:
ssh user#remote mkdir -p /top/a/b/c
rsync /top/a/b/c/d remote:/top/a/b/c
this creates the target folder if it does not exists already.
According to https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/496181/5783, since rsync 2.6.7, --relative works if you use . to anchor the starting parent directory to create at the destination:
derek#DESKTOP-2F2F59O:~/projects/rsync$ mkdir --parents top1/a/b/c/d
derek#DESKTOP-2F2F59O:~/projects/rsync$ mkdir --parents top2/a
derek#DESKTOP-2F2F59O:~/projects/rsync$ rsync --recursive --relative --verbose top1/a/./b/c/d top2/a/
sending incremental file list
b/
b/c/
b/c/d/
sent 99 bytes received 28 bytes 254.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
--relative does not work for me since I had different setup.
Maybe I just didn't understood how --relative works, but I found that the
ssh remote mkdir -p /top/a/b/c
rsync /top/a/b/c/d remote:/top/a/b/c
is easy to understand and does the job.
I was looking for a better solution, but mine seems to be better suited when you have too many sub-directories to create them manually.
Simply use cp as an intermediate step with the --parents option
cp --parents /your/path/sub/dir/ /tmp/localcopy
rsync [options] /tmp/localcopy/* remote:/destination/path/
cp --parents will create the structure for you.
You can call it from any subfolder if you want only one subset of the parent folders to be copied.
A shorter way in Linux to create rsync destination paths is to use the '$_' Special Variable. (I think, but cannot confirm, that it is also the same in OSX).
'$_' holds the value of the last argument of the previous command executed. So the question could be answered with:
ssh remote mkdir -p /top/a/b/c/ && rsync -avz /top/a/b/c/d remote:$_
In a Unix environment, I have a bash script that removes some files:
rm -f foo bar* baz*
My problem: not always the wildcard returns any result. And as a result of that, I fail to remove even 'foo' which always exists. The output written is "rm: No match".
A simple workaround would be to split the command:
rm -f foo
rm -f bar*
rm -f baz*
But it's a bad solution.
No it should work. Which shell is used ? Is rm an internal version or an external ? (Try /bin/rm instead to ensure the external version). You may have some shell option set that prevent you to execute the command in that case (this may depend on your shell).
I'm trying to figure out how to install Pear on my Mac (10.6.6).
Not understanding what they're telling me at pear.php.net, I got some code from http://clickontyler.com/blog/2008/01/how-to-install-pear-in-mac-os-x-leopard/
First, I entered curl http://pear.php.net/go-pear > go-pear.php in my terminal.
It resulted in this output
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 88004 100 88004 0 0 47537 0 0:00:01 0:00:01 --:--:-- 59744
What does that all mean? Am I on the right track?
Next, I entered sudo php -q go-pear.php
and it gave me the long output below. In short I have no idea where I am in the installation process. However, I'm pretty sure that I'm not where I'm supposed to be at following the tutorial at http://clickontyler.com/blog/2008/01/how-to-install-pear-in-mac-os-x-leopard/
because the tutorial tells me to select all the default choices, and I don't see any options to select.
The next line of code is asking me to modify the php.ini files and it requires a password so I'm worried about doing it...Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track?

php does not have an argument -q. Its also mentioned in go-pear.php (http://pear.php.net/go-pear) itself, but I dont know, what it wants to tell me. However, try
sudo php go-pear.php
and then follow the instructions.
Update:
-q was used, to start the interpreter in "quiet" mode. It seems, that this option does not exists anymore, because php always starts "quiet", but it should not cause an error, anyway. Now make sure you are in the same directory as the file go-pear.php before you call php go-pear.php.
The first part shows that you successfully downloaded the file to go-pear.php.
The second part is showing that -q isn't a valid option. The third part is asking for the root password, since you're doing 'sudo'.
I used this, though I wasn't installing on Mac:
