OT: File Copy

Easier and possibly safer might be using of symlinks. For example, assuming
you want to modify the file /etc/xxx/aaaa.conf, you create a file aaaa.conf
in your miva data dir and then symlink it manually to /etc/xxx/aaaa.conf (ln
-s /home/user/mivadata/aaaa.conf /etc/xxx/aaaa.conf). Now you can modify,
delete or recreate it from within a Miva Script.

You can do it also in the opposite way - symlinking the directory /etc/xxx/
to your miva data dir. You can then add and modify any files in it. It may
be less safe, especially if you plan to modify files in some important
system directory. In this way, you would also have to open the permissions
more than in the first case. Also, unlike in the first case, you will need
to allow the use of symlinks in Empresa configuration (i.e.
securityoptions=15).

If you plan using external script, the easiest is Shell script - you can use
the same commands you use in Telnet.

Greetings all,

I have a need to copy a file from the Miva data directory to another
directory on the server that is not part of either the data or script
directory trees. I also need to be able to delete the file later. I was
planing on useing MvCALL to a perl or someother type of script but can't
seem to get the perl script I found to work. If anyone has a sample or
something I would appreciate it.

Patrick
