Full Discussion: Sequential execution of job in cron
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Sequential execution of job in cron Post 302085089 by tayyabq8 on Tuesday 15th of August 2006 05:19:59 AM

Suppose your all.sh is as follows:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
if cp "$1" "$1.bak"
then
     exit   
else
    echo "bkedit quitting: can't make backup?" 1>&2
    exit 1
fi

And here is a wrapper script:
Code:
. /all.sh
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
    . /reject.sh
else
    mail abc@abc.com
fi

Regards,
Tayyab
