I'm a she and a novice with the scripting, but I've been able to utilize it to create scripts that are helpful to me in managing my DB2's. It's mostly the type of stuff where I list the database directory and loop through the results to take some action (take an image copy, make a database configuration change, etc ). With help from others I've managed to learn just what I need to know in order solve particular problems and each time I look to solve a problem I learn a little more. I support DB2 across a variety of platforms including Redhat Linux on IBM z/Series, AIX on IBM P/series and some Redhat on x86 type hardware which is why I didn't list one even though it is a forum recommendation. I always like it if whatever I come up with will work the same across all the environments and I guess it may just be that our admins have installed support for multiple kernels on everything, but both of your solutions work great in all the places I tested. Lem, I like your solution because it felt like something I could easily understand and implement right away. I also appreciate what you offer bakunin because I don't exactly understand it and you took the time to really explain it so as I look up everything you did I think it will help me expand a little. I appreciate you both taking the time to educate!
