Cron and multiple scripts problem.
Hello All,
I have 3 scripts namingly 1X 2X and 3X.
I have one directory ABC created which contains some 40 sub directories.
I have one input file in the below format.The input file resides in ABC directory.
Inputfile format;
subdirectoryname date
subdirectoryname1 date
subdirectoryname2 date
..
...
it is a normal text file.
Each subdirectory contains multiple files.
My 1X script will check for the input file if it finds the input file then it should trigger 2X script.
also it will check for the status of the 2X script.if it is running it should not trigger the script.
my 1X script will run for every five minutes.I set it as a cron job.
Now the problem is;
It is not processing all the subdirectories.
for example if the input file contains 5 entries i.e 5 subdirectory names then the script is processing only
3 subdirectories and existing. can you please help me to resolve the issue.

I need to run a script (from cron) that runs a second script.

service
service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and
stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start
command.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
If the init script file does not exist, the script tries to use legacy actions. If there is no suitable legacy action found and COMMAND is
one of actions specified in LSB Core Specification, input is redirected to the systemctl. Otherwise the command fails with return code 2.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
