What is the best way to control the running of scripts?
For example, i have a k1.ksh script java pgm that checks to make sure that the file counts in a particular directory are equal to a total file count value in a control file updated from my PC.
If i run this k1.ksh script and the total counts are equal, what would be the best way to kick off the k2.ksh script to execute a database update?
Should i use a kshell language and say put is something like "if [.......] then...." in the script or is there a better way to determine when to kick off k2.ksh?
Thanks very much for any insights on this!

I'd do it your way and test the return code from the previous script eg
I am having difficulty sending a control sequence ESC&l5H (print to middle tray) to a HP printer (lp4).It is ignoring the command. I am using the following syntax in an executable file :
echo "'/033'&l5H" > /dev/lp4
lp -dlp4 filename
a) Is /033 'escape' ?
b) What is the correct syntax ? (5 Replies)

times
times(1) User Commands times(1)NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell
SYNOPSIS
sh
times
ksh
times
DESCRIPTION
sh
Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.
ksh
Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
