Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users SQL vs Crontab Post 28619 by alex blanco on Friday 20th of September 2002 06:57:17 PM

Scipt
this is as easy as it seems:
$ more Report.sh
sqlplus user/passwd @script1.sql
sqlplus user/passwd @script2.sql

at the begining I remembered that cron does not know the binaries path so I changed the script to this one:

/oracle/ora8/bin/sqlplus user/passwd @script1.sql
.
.
and so on.
It didnt work as well.

Later on I wrote tha absolute path of the queries:
/oracle/ora8/bin/sqlplus us/pass @/home/script1.sq
.
.

and so on, every change I did every test I performed with the "at" command and it worked out pretty fine, but if I use crontab it doesnt.

and the message was related to the sp1<lang>.msb file Im using US as lenguaje, so the file to be search must be ps1us.msb it is located at
$ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/mesg
(oracle/ora8/sqlplus/mesg)

I hope it helps.

NAME

       dspam_maintenance - remove old signatures and unimportant tokens from the DSPAM storage backend

SYNOPSIS

       dspam_maintenance [--profile=PROFILE] [--logdays=no_of_days] [--signatures=no_of_days] [--neutral=no_of_days] [--unused=no_of_days]
       [--hapaxes=no_of_days] [--hits1s=no_of_days] [--hits1i=no_of_days] [--without-sql-purge] [--with-sql-automatization] [--with-sql-autoup-
       date] [--purgescriptdir=directory] [--with-all-drivers] [--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

       dspam_maintenance  is  used to remove old signatures/tokens and unimportant tokens from the DSPAM storage backend and purge old log entries
       in user and system logs.

       This script can be called from the command line or run from within cron. Either add a line in your crontab  or  add  this  script  in  your
       cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly}.  Running this script every hour might not be the best idea but it's your decision if you want to do so.

OPTIONS

       --profile=PROFILE

	      Specify a storage profile from dspam.conf. The storage profile selected will be used for all database connectivity.

	      NOTE: See dspam.conf for more information.

       --logdays=no_of_days

	      All log entries older than no_of_days days will be removed.

	      NOTE: Default is 31 days. (for more info: man dspam_logrotate)

       --signatures=no_of_days

	      All signatures older than no_of_daysdays will be removed.

	      NOTE:  Default  value  is  set by the PurgeSignatures option in dspam.conf, if this option is not set, the default value is 14 days.
	      This option is only used for the Hash driver.

       --neutral=no_of_days

	      Deletes all tokens from the target users database whose probability is between 0.35 and 0.65 (fairly neutral, useless data).

	      NOTE: Default value is set by the PurgeNeutral option in dspam.conf, if this option is not set, the default value is 90 days.

       --unused=no_of_days

	      Remove stale tokens which have not been used for a long period of time.

	      NOTE: Default value is set by the PurgeUnused option in dspam.conf, if this option is not set, the default value is 90 days.

       --hapaxes=no_of_days

	      Remove tokens with a total hit count below 5 (which will be assigned a hapaxial value by DSPAM).

       --hits1s=no_of_days

	      Remove tokens with a single SPAM hit.

	      NOTE: Default value is set by the PurgeHits1S option in dspam.conf, if this option is not set, the default value is 15 days.

       --hits1i=no_of_days

	      Remove tokens with a single INNOCENT hit.

	      NOTE: Default value is set by the PurgeHits1I option in dspam.conf, if this option is not set, the default value is 15 days.

       --without-sql-purge

	      Do not use SQL based purging. Only run dspam_clean.

	      NOTE: Default is off (aka: use SQL based purging).

       --with-sql-optimization

	      Run VACUUM (for PostgreSQL/SQLite) and/or OPTIMIZE (for MySQL).

	      NOTE: Default is off (aka: do not use optimizations).

       --with-sql-autoupdate

	      Run SQL based purging with purge day values passed to dspam_maintenance.

	      NOTE: Default is off (aka: do not attempt to modify SQL instructions).

       --purgescriptdir=directory

	      Space separated list of directories where to search for SQL files used for the SQL based purging.

       --with-all-drivers

	      Process all installed storage drivers (not just the active driver).
