create a dynamic path to directorie /lib,

Question

Im trying to create a dynamic path to directorie /lib, but the code bellow is giving me a error, that the directorie does not exist.

user=$USER
home=$HOME

rsync -az /$home/$user/lib /media/x/x

Could somebody give me a tipp on how to solve the problem?

Try: `rsync -az $home/lib /media/x/x` HOME variable contains `/home/username` — anishsane, Jan 09 '15 at 12:15

Echo out the value of your string that is represented by "/$home/$user/lib" and check if it is what you intended.

Have you tried this:

rsync -az $HOME/lib /media/x/x

The $HOME variable represents "/Users/username". By adding the preceding slash you get "//Users/username" and then by adding the username afterwards you get "//Users/username/username". I think that's your problem.

Your code is the same as mine. I have tried echo and Its giving me the wrong path... – Bruno Alves Jan 09 '15 at 12:17
Just checked it and updated the answer. The path should be correct now. – Rupert Jan 09 '15 at 12:19
The new path is giving me root/lib the path has not such file or directorie – Bruno Alves Jan 09 '15 at 12:27
