[SOLVED] Clonezilla custom-ocs bash script failing on ocs-onthefly command

Clonezilla custom-ocs bash script failing on ocs-onthefly command

I'm doing a custom clonezilla.. one for source to send a local disk to remote disk with ocs-onthefly... that custom-ocs is working fine.

However, the custom-ocs for the destination for some reason is not working.. the problem is the last line "/usr/sbin/ocs-onthefly -s $src_ip -t $dest_disk" .. for some reason clonezilla is balking at that line and gives the usage/help output instead of running the command..

Any ideas on why the ocs-onthefly command is not accepting the parameters? The parameters are correct. If you run "/usr/sbin/ocs-onthefly -s 192.168.150.1 -t sda" it runs fine.

custom-ocs for destination script is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9mfrt0n50sheayn/custom-ocs_destination-REVISED.txt

/usr/sbin/ocs-onthefly -s $src_ip -t $dest_disk

When I test via echo (not within clonezilla but just on a linux box) the dialog output for $src_ip and also $dest_disk it outputs the variables fine, so I really don't know why ocs-onthefly is not accepting it.

Solution

Looks like your ocs-onthefly command is getting unexpected arguments. To analyze, lets see the actual command with

 echo /usr/sbin/ocs-onthefly -s $src_ip -t $dest_disk

Or, maybe even better, the result of running your script with

 bash -x script

will tell you what is wrong.
