I need a little help making a bash script for backing up my world for my server to use the essentials backup option in the config file i ahve tryed
#!/bin/bash
# Set these values to match your server's settings.
# This script should be located in the craftbukkit folder
# Make sure you change this to the name of your world folder!
# Add additional worlds by separating them with a space.
declare -a worlds=(world world_nether)
backupdir=backups/
ext=.zip
hdateformat=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S')H$ext
ddateformat=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d')D$ext
numworlds=${#worlds[@]}
echo "Starting multiworld backup..."
if [ -d $backupdir ] ; then
sleep 0
else
mkdir -p $backupdir
fi
zip $backupdir$hdateformat -r plugins
for ((i=0;i<$numworlds;i++)); do
zip -q $backupdir$hdateformat -r ${worlds[$i]}
echo "Saving '${worlds[$i]}' to '$backupdir$hdateformat'."
done
cp $backupdir$hdateformat $backupdir$ddateformat
echo "Updated daily backup."
find $backupdir/ -name *H$ext -mmin +1440 -exec rm {} \;
find $backupdir/ -name *D$ext -mtime +14 -exec rm {} \;
echo "Removed old backups."
echo "Backup complete."
exit 0
and this is what i get
/Desktop/Server$ bash backup.sh
backup.sh: line 3: $'\r': command not found
backup.sh: line 5: $'\r': command not found
backup.sh: line 8: $'\r': command not found
backup.sh: line 12: $'\r': command not found
backup.sh: line 16: $'\r': command not found
Starting multiworld backup...
backup.sh: line 18: $'\r': command not found
backup.sh: line 25: syntax error near unexpected token `$'do\r''
'ackup.sh: line 25: ` for ((i=0;i<$numworlds;i++)); do
i would just like a simple one that would zip it with commpression move it to backups as long with the name of day and time
i dont mind deleteing old back ups my self
I unfortunately don't code in bash, but sadly I'm a pretty big Linux user and a plugin developer. I should probably look over the syntax
I can't really help you, and I don't think many people use Linux here, much less write scripts in bash. You will probably have better luck in a Linux forum, or even better, a forum dedicated to Bash scripting.
The "\r", which is the return line with Windows, seems to be affecting the file, which is a bit odd since I have not had issues using scripts made on a Windows machine, although the file encoding might have done that.
Have you tried using the "vi" function in Linux to make this file?
Can we also have a download of the file as well? So we can see it in the form you have it in?

Thanks for your comment I figured it out because of you what was wrong was that since I has first saved it in notepad in windows is that it wasn't in UNIX formating like you said it was saving in windows format all I did was change it to UNIX file ending and it works fine now thanks for the reply guys
