| Dec 17, 2018 at 17:41 | comment | added | libbynotzoey | I made some changes as recommended and now I am getting the file to move properly, though the filename when extracted is simply "-". Perhaps there is something wrong with the way the variable is stored. Thanks everyone for your input. Learned lots. | |
| Dec 17, 2018 at 14:37 | comment | added | Evolter | I think it isn't fault of the mv command - there must be something changing the variable used to specify the target. Maybe try printing the command (echo mv $TEMPPATH/$DATEFORM-$SITE.sql.zip $BACKUPPATH/$SITE) or related variables (or log to a file echo "$BACKUPPATH/$SITE" >> /tmp/log) every few lines. | |

| Dec 17, 2018 at 5:24 | comment | added | libbynotzoey | How strange. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I did try dropping the filename from the target as suggested. | |
