It wont work! U aliased scp on the home system!! That scp is never

What happened when you tried it?

What is the atime (ls -lu) on scp on the home system after a transfer?

Your problems include not knowing the details of scp and not listening
to advice.

I apologise! I was guilty of what you said. Justuified. Your
sugesstion works PERFECTLY! Thanks! I was ignorant about how scp
works I guess! Need to read more.

Maybe you have an advice on this related issue though:

I did the fix as a normal user. So did NOT touch the /usr/bin/scp as
root. (we have many other users so I prefer not to mess with my root
privilages) I aliased my scp to ~/bin/scp in which I stuffed the shell
script you recommended.

THat one invokes the ~/bin/run_post_processor which does the
postprocessing. Works like clockwork.

But it seems to get invked on outgoing scp calls as well.(obviously!)
Is there any way to test/prevent that?

Thanks again and I apologise for the hasty assumtions earlier!- Hide quoted text -

I found one option; looks very like a hack actually. So I'm still
looking for more sugesstions!

If in my scp I do a dump of exported variables I see one of the type:

declare -x SSH_CLIENT="140.xx.xx.xx 39734 22"

I'm not sure how reliable this one is but maybe I can check for my
host system IP and then make a decision about wheter it was an
incoming or outgoing scp call!
