Scripting Rsync and Virsh

[LordVaderXIII]

Hi Guys

Im having trouble scripting. I have never done scripting before and need desperately to get this going.

I need to run the following commands in a script and then in a cron job.

virsh suspend "VM"

rsync --inplace ~/"vm disk" ~/NAS

virsh resume "VM"

Can anyone help please?

nano script.sh
Place the commands inside the file

#!/bin/bash

virsh suspend "VM"

rsync --inplace ~/"vm disk" ~/NAS

virsh resume "VM"

exit 0

give execute permission
chmod +x script.sh

virsh resume "VM"

exit 0

give execute permission
chmod +x script.sh

Thank you very much. I turns out i was quite close.

I missed the "exit 0" bit and i should not have created it on windows first.

But its working correctly thank you.
