Same here..

zimbra@postoffice:~$ zmbackup -i -a [email protected]
/usr/local/lib/zmbackup/bash/BackupAction.sh: line 100: [email protected]//,/\n/g: No such file or directory
Nothing to do. Closing.

[cvdgenugten]

on line 100 the script itirates through $4//,/\n/g in variable $i to add them to file $TEMPACCOUNT.
However, it crashes on the $4//,/\n/g.

GNU bash, version 4.4.20(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
In my case, [email protected] is used, and bash is trying to RUN on line 100:
$("[email protected]//,/\n/g")

which doesn't make sense..
zimbra@postoffice:~$ $("[email protected]//,/\n/g")
bash: [email protected]//,/\n/g: No such file or directory

[cvdgenugten]

Are you trying to search and replace comma's for newlines by any chance?
This does not seem to work in bash 4.4.20 in your script.
Can you rewrite?

[cvdgenugten]

assuming you wish to replace comma's for newlines by any chance, the following should work in bash:

100 #    for i in $("$4//,/\n/g"); do
101      for i in $( echo $4 | sed 's/,/ /g' ); do
102       echo $i
103       echo "$i" >> "$TEMPACCOUNT"
104     done

[thiagolinhares]

for i in $( echo $4 | sed 's/,/ /g' ); do

Tried your approach and worked for me too.
Bash version:
GNU bash, version 4.2.46(2)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

I wonder if you could submit a PR so maintainer could update this?

[thiagowarwick]

Same here..
help, please.

zimbra@mail:/usr/local/lib/zmbackup/bash$ zmbackup -f -a [email protected]
/usr/local/lib/zmbackup/bash/BackupAction.sh: line 100: [email protected]//,/\n/g: No such file or directory
Nothing to do. Closing...

[cvdgenugten]

@thiagowarwick I don't think the maintainer is responding to this issue, at least I haven't seen him here.
If you edit /usr/local/lib/zmbackup/bash/BackupAction.sh and change line 100 from:
for i in $("$4//,/\n/g"); do
to:
for i in $( echo $4 | sed 's/,/ /g' ); do
all should work. I've been using this in production for some time now, restoration of single mailboxes works fine, no issues after this change.

[thiagowarwick]

@thiagowarwick Não acho que o mantenedor esteja respondendo a esse problema, pelo menos não o vi aqui. Se você editar /usr/local/lib/zmbackup/bash/BackupAction.sh e alterar a linha 100 de: for i in $("$4//,/\n/g"); do para: for i in $( echo $4 | sed 's/,/ /g' ); do tudo deve funcionar. Estou usando isso em produção há algum tempo, a restauração de caixas de correio únicas funciona bem, sem problemas após essa alteração.

Thank's my friend.
this worked for me! Congratulations!!!

[cvdgenugten]

haha, I didn't know I wrote that in Portuguese ;)

Prazer & boa sorte,
Tchau!
