OK, long story short, anyone who knows of Crossover Games/Office knows that if you have a large number of bottles, it can take a while to back them up using their GUI tools. They have some CLI tools too, which I was hoping to already be utilizing :D Basically the following "should" be going thru the dir, and tarring up each directory along with some extra metadata.

Code:
for bottle in ~/.cxgames/*
do
/opt/cxgames/bin/cxbottle --bottle "$bottle" --tar ~/cxgbackup/$bottle.cxarchive
done


Where my problem lies is simple, although the solution is completely eluding me. Basically, any bottle directory that has a space in it, the script will fail on that directory.

What shall I do here? I am lost on this one. In short I just want a nice way to archive them periodically for safekeeping, plus its a nice way to backup prior to an OS upgrade.

Thanks for any help.

Andrew.

Hi,

Quote:

use more quote, and HOME instead of ~
Code:
for bottle in ~/.cxgames/*
do
/opt/cxgames/bin/cxbottle --bottle "$bottle" --tar "$HOME/cxgbackup/$bottle.cxarchive"
done

Unfortunately that doesn't work out for me. Ran into pathing and spacing errors still.

With some help from a guy from work who oddly is little better than me on this stuff, I managed to get to this:

Code:
mkdir $HOME/cxgbackup/

cd $HOME/.cxgames/

for bottle in ls -d */
do
bottlefixed=${bottle%/}
/opt/cxgames/bin/cxbottle --bottle "$bottlefixed" --tar "$bottlefixed.cxarchive"
done

mv $HOME/.cxgames/*.cxarchive $HOME/cxgbackup/


It mostly works. I still have some errors that crop up,

Code:
[andrew@asusg51 ~]$ sh ./Applications/cxgbackup.sh
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/andrew/cxgbackup/': File exists
cxbottle:error: Unable to find the 'ls' bottle:
bottle 'ls' not found in '/home/andrew/.cxgames'
bottle 'ls' not found in '/opt/cxgames/support'
cxbottle:error: Unable to find the '-d' bottle:
bottle '-d' not found in '/home/andrew/.cxgames'
bottle '-d' not found in '/opt/cxgames/support'


I am sure that is from the interesting way to list the directories out. Any tips there would be great. I dunno if its just me or if it is -- but I think this is quite hacked together :D Any cleanup tips would be fantastic.

Thanks for your help,
Andrew.

don't use ls to feed a for-loop, because a for-loop iterates on each element, and so it'll consider
my file
as two elements.
Code:
bak="$HOME/cxgbackup/"

# bak exists as a directory, or creates it
[ -d "$bak" ] || mkdir "$bak"

for directory in $HOME/.cxgames/*/
do /opt/cxgames/bin/cxbottle --bottle "$directory" --tar "$bak/${directory%/}.cxarchive"
done

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. Got busy, then I had to test it. The directory I have is huge, with over 250GB of crap in there. So it did take a little while to finish up.

I am tweaking it a bit, but at the core, your repairs worked great, and you apparently have ESP. As you added in what I was about to get to, without me needing to ask :D

Thanks again,
I appreciate all the help here.

Andrew.

BTW, here is my nearly complete script. I never quite got the darn command to archive the bottle to actually archive it up in the .cxarchive format directly into the backup directory, as the path of existing bottle stayed with that, so it was all screwed up like

/home/andrew/cxgbackup//home/andrew/.cxgames/blah.cxarchive

Oh well, if you know of a simple way to fix that, cool, otherwise this method I have works fine.

Thanks again!
