The script:
#!/bin/sh
scp /conf/acme/* gentooserver:/etc/ssl/apache2/
scp /conf/acme/* octopi:/etc/ssl/
When I execute it, I get output indicating at least the first command executes. (Plus the script has worked before when it was just the first line). But if I look in octopi:/etc/ssl/, the files aren't there.
If I just execute scp /conf/acme/* octopi:/etc/ssl/ on the command line, the files copy fine.
Why does this command not work from inside a shell script?
Posting as answer since I can't comment.
Add -v on your scp invocations to see verbose output that might indicate the issue. You might also try rsync -v ... if the output from scp -v ... isn't helpful.
Alright, so I logged back in, and the file lacked the second line, as though I never added it? Even though I opened and closed vi several times during the last session and the line was there.
I don't know how to use vi, so I just installed nano and edited the file properly. It works now.
