Thanks vgersh,

But that is not what I am looking at and I apologise that I confused you.

I should explain because I am really stuck.

In an oracle table I have
LOAD_DT=5/1/2009 DATE datatype
RUN_DT=5/5/2009 DATE datatype

with the help of spool file I am picking these variables up like 02-MAY-2009 and 05-MAY-2009

Now my question is with a do while loop I need to get the dates 03-MAY-2009, 04-MAY-2009 and 05-MAY-2009.

I am confused at where to initialize and totally confused with the loop.


I did this

while [ $LOAD_DT -lt $RUN_DT ]
do

#Here I will write a sqlplus code to increment the date
#I will get my other work done here

stop condition

done

#Here I will update my table with the next day sqlplus code


Just please suggest me the do while loop syntax for this case and the stop condition.
I am sure I am messing up at the initialising or stop condition.

Thanks to all of you,

rc.news

RC.NEWS(8)						    InterNetNews Documentation							RC.NEWS(8)

NAME

       rc.news - Start or stop INN daemons

SYNOPSIS

       rc.news [start | stop]

DESCRIPTION

       rc.news can be used to start or stop innd and supporting programs.  It checks to make sure INN is not already running, handles cases of
       unclean shutdown, finishes up tasks which might have been interrupted by the preceding shutdown, e-mails certain boot-time warnings to
       newsmaster (as set in inn.conf), and is generally safer and easier than starting and stopping everything directly.  It needs to be run as
       the news user so that files in pathrun are created with the right ownership (though this is less important for "rc.news stop").

       Programs run and stopped by this script include:

       o   Always:  innd is started or stopped.

       o   If doinnwatch is true in inn.conf:  innwatch is started and stopped.

       o   If docnfsstat is true in inn.conf:  ovdb_init is run; ovdb_server and ovdb_monitor are stopped.

       o   If rc.news.local exists in pathbin:	rc.news.local is run with argument "start" or "stop" (to perform site-specific startup or shutdown
	   tasks).

OPTIONS

       "start"
	   If the first argument is "start", or no first argument is given, rc.news initiates INN startup.

       "stop"
	   If the first argument is "stop", rc.news initiates INN shutdown.  It is recommended to throttle the server first as described in
	   ctlinnd(8).

EXAMPLES

       To start INN and leave certain error messages going to the terminal:

	      su - news -c <pathbin in inn.conf>/rc.news

       To run INN at startup time from appropriate system boot scripts:

	      su - news -c <pathbin>/rc.news >/dev/console

       To stop INN (throttling first):

	      <pathbin>/ctlinnd throttle reason
	      su - news -c '<pathbin>/rc.news stop'

BUGS

       Running "rc.news start" as root is never the right thing to do, so we should at minimum check for this and error, or perhaps change
       effective user ID.

HISTORY

       // FIXME:  any attribution for rc.news itself?
