I have cpanel set up on a redhat server and I am trying to execute a shell script that will take one file and copy this same file to multiple directories (hosting folders) in the same folder hierarchy. I tried to do this using a wildcard symbol * and instead of doing them all I was testing with all folders that start with an a (hence I used 'a*' in code)

Code:

When I executed this shell script I got these messages...


.............(it went on 17 lines for the 17 accounts)

What does this mean? Why did I get these messages? Did I put something in the wrong place in my code?

Seems like privacy-policy.php is not in the location you try to copy from.

Do it like this instead.



another way would be to do it like this (This is untested thou):

This code worked great but I beleive what made my shell script work was chowning it to root:root (I also moved it into /home directory). But here is the code that worked...

I also moved the privacy policy file into /home directory (same as the location of the shell program)
I then just did all the directories after the test...

and it worked beautifully.

for those who come upon this later; I'd just like to point this out:

If you're using find, use the features that come with it to save some cpu cycles:
