Handling Errors in Shell Scripts
I have a shell script, which calls a load script to load a database. How can i handle errors in Unix(similar to 'error level' in Batch scripts)? I am trying to use 'mailx' to send a Success/failure message based on the error level returned by the load script.
I have already used an error log file to find out success or failure of the load script, but sometimes there will be some errors even though it does not create an error log file, so its not 100% accurate.
Thanks

Hi,
I face some problem with handling of nulls. I declare a variable - say i - and intialise to 0. Later I read it from console, wherein if I dont give any variable and press return key, I get this error:
"0403-004 Specify a parameter with this command"
Is there anyway to handle this error?
