Full Discussion: Automatically Rerun a script based on previous execution output
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Automatically Rerun a script based on previous execution output Post 302328892 by arunsoman80 on Thursday 25th of June 2009 11:36:12 AM

Rather than doing a search in the log files to check if the script updatevs completed successfully or not, I think a better way to do accomplish would be to do the following:
1. Modify the script updatevs to exit with a non-zero return code on failures.
2. Write another wrapper script that would call updatevs and based on the return code of the script decide whether it needs to be called again..

Just a sample of how the wrapper would look like (Not tested):
Code:
#New Job for updatevs
typeset -i exitStatus=1
typeset -i retryCntr=0
function callUpdateEnv
{
  . updatevs
  return $?
}

while [ $exitStatus != 0 ]
do
   
   callUpdateEnv
   exitStatus=$?
   if (( $exitStatus != 0 )); 
   then 
      (( retryCntr = ${retryCntr} + 1 ))
      if (( $retryCntr > 5 ));
         mailx -s "Job failed" xxxxx@abc.com < /dev/null
      fi
      sleep 1200
   fi
   
done

echo "completed successfully"

There would be several other better ways to do it but going through the logs doesn't seem to be the right one...

regards,
Arun.

   Enumerations
       enum globus_gram_protocol_job_state_t { GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_PENDING = 1, GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_ACTIVE = 2,
	   GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_FAILED = 4, GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_DONE = 8, GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_SUSPENDED = 16,
	   GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_UNSUBMITTED = 32, GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_STAGE_IN = 64, GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_STAGE_OUT
	   = 128, GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_ALL = 0xFFFFF }

Detailed Description
       The globus_gram_protocol_job_state_t contains information about the current state of the job as known by the job manager.

       Job state changes are sent by the Job Manager to all registered clients. A client may ask for information from the job manager via the
       status request.

Enumeration Type Documentation
   enum globus_gram_protocol_job_state_t
       GRAM Job States.

       Enumerator:

       GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_PENDING
	      The job is waiting for resources to become available to run.

       GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_ACTIVE
	      The job has received resources and the application is executing.

       GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_FAILED
	      The job terminated before completion because an error, user-triggered cancel, or system-triggered cancel.

	      reason.

       GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_STATE_UNSUBMITTED
	      The job has not been submitted to the scheduler yet, pending the reception of the GLOBUS_GRAM_PROTOCOL_JOB_SIGNAL_COMMIT_REQUEST
	      signal from a client.

	      The job manager is staging in files to run the job.
