We've been having some problems with a specific program in our nightly processing, so I whipped up a little script to run to monitor it, and send an e-mail when it's complete (failure or not). My primary problem is that I cannot modify the binary or the script that calls it, since the developers probably wouldn't be too happy about that. So it has to be stand-alone. My goal is a reliable script, fairly simple, and above all, very lightweight (I don't want to use any more cycles than are absolutely neccessary). Here's what I have running right now:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
trap '' 1
bail_out () {
mail myself@mycompany <<!done
Subject: My_Job has finished
Importance: high
X-Priority: 1
My_Job has finished running.
If {program) reports that the process is still running, there
may be a problem. Go to \\\\path_to\samba_share and make sure that
the file is an appropriate size before continuing with the
{other_program} jobs.
Call somebody right away if there is a problem.
.
!done
exit 0
}
check_it () {
while :
do
ps -e | grep [M]y_Job >/dev/null 2>&1
case $? in
0) sleep 120 ;;
*) bail_out; exit 1 ;;
esac
done
}
check_it&
I want to be able to let other night operators run this during the weekend (that's why I wrote the instruction in the mail). Also, since none of them are very Unix literate (we only have a few Unix servers around - we're mostly NT), I wanted to make it simple to run. Just type name_of_script, and it'll background itself...
My question is: Can this be written to take even less resources?
Oh yeah, BTW, in case people are wondering:

Hello all,
I would be happy if any one could help me with a shell script that would determine all the processes running on a Unix server and post a mail if any of the process is not running or aborted.
Thanks in advance

LEARN ABOUT MINIX
mail
MAIL(1) General Commands Manual MAIL(1)NAME
mail - send and receive electronic mail
SYNOPSIS
mail [-dpqrv] [-f file] [user]
OPTIONS -d Force use of the shell variable MAILER
-f Use file instead of /usr/spool/mail/user as mailbox
-p Print all mail and then exit
-q Quit program if SIGINT received
-r Reverse print order, i.e., print oldest first
-v Verbose mode
EXAMPLES
mail ast # Send a message to ast
mail # Read your mail
DESCRIPTION
Mail is an extremely simple electronic mail program. It can be used to send or receive email on a single MINIX system, in which case it
functions as user agent and local delivery agent. If the flag MAILER is defined in mail.c, it can also call a transport agent to handle
remote mail as well. No such agent is supplied with MINIX.
When called by user with no arguments, it examines the mailbox /usr/spool/mail/user, prints one message (depending on the -r flag), and
waits for one of the following commands:
<newline> Go to the next message
- Print the previous message
!command Fork off a shell and execute command
CTRL-D Update the mailbox and quit (same as q)
d Delete the current message and go to the next one
q Update the mailbox and quit (same as CTRL-D)
p Print the current message again
s [file] Save message in the named file
x Exit without updating the mailbox
To send mail, the program is called with the name of the recipient as an
argument. The mail is sent, along with a postmark line containing the date.
For local delivery, a file named after the recipient in the directory
/usr/spool/mail must be writable.
If the directory /usr/spool/mail does not exist then the mail is
dumped on the console, so that system programs have a way to notify
a user on a system that does not have a mail spool.
