What is the best practice?
I'm playing the shell game of moving and deleting files to make room for current DB backup. A set of files gets moved to serverB when serverA threshold is exceeded. I created two scripts one for serverA and one for serverB. Both scripts are run by cron entry. There is a difference of 12 minutes between the servers. I'm trying to get that question answer from the senior admin as to why the time difference. ServerA will fire at a predetermine time "sleep xxx" to allow serverB read a file sent from serverA. The file is capacity of filesystem u06. If file exceeds threshold delete files on serverB.

My question is there a better way to run the scripts due to time difference? My thought is to invoke serverB script from serverA script. How can I fire off serverB script from serverA script?

platform::shell

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?

       platform::shell::generic shell
       platform::shell::identify shell
       platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.

       This  package  allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
       requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.

       While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of  the  running  shell
       this  is  not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
       32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.

       For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will  actually  run  the  installed
       packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.

COMMANDS

       platform::shell::identify shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::generic shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::platform shell
	      This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.

KEYWORDS
