Running a unix script(which is calling another script inside that) in background
Hi ,
I have one main script called script1.sh which contains the cotennts below. this script wil search for the existence of files in a particular directory and if one file is finidin it wil send to another server . this is the basic functionality
the script1.sh is given below
#Al the directiory locations wil be mentinedin the first
# Trace output function
trace ()
{
if [ $TRACE ]
then
DATE=`date +"%Y-%m-%d %X"`
echo "$DATE: $1" >> $TRACEFILE
fi
}
trace "Script $0 started"
# First find all alarm files to import at start
FILES="`find $ALARM_FILES_DIR -type f`"
# Loop forever and import files
while [ true ]
do
loop=`expr $loop + 1`
# cat the files to a text file
if [ "$FILES" != "" ]
then
FILES_SORTED="`ls -rt $FILES`"
trace "Alarm files to import:\n$FILES_SORTED"
for i in $FILES_SORTED
do
cat $i>export1.txt
username=***
password=***
expect -c "
# exp_internal 1 # uncomment for debugging
spawn /usr/bin/scp export1.txt ***@ipaddress:/location
expect {
"*password:*" { send $password\r\n; interact }
eof { exit }
}
exit
"
/export/home/netcool/rohith/script.sh
rm -rf export1.txt
echo
done
LATEST="$i"
SENDHB=false
else
trace "No new alarm files to import"
SENDHB=true
fi
trace "Latest alarm file imported: $LATEST"
#
# If the latest file sent still exists then find newer files, otherwise find all files
if [ -f "$LATEST" ]
then
FILES="`find $ALARM_FILES_DIR -newer $LATEST -type f`"
else
FILES="`find $ALARM_FILES_DIR -type f`"
fi
# Modify sleep time (in seconds) as needed below
sleep 2
done
THIS SCRIPT WIL CALL THE SECOND SCRIPT CALLED SCRIPT.SH contents given below since expect cant used inside the first script i hav given like dat in dif script i mean /usr/bin/expect -f
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
spawn ssh ***@ipaddrss 'location/ssh.sh'
expect "password:"
send "netcool\n"
interact
This wil call another script in server2 called ssh.sh contents are given below
#!/bin/sh
cat export1.txt >> export.txt
rm export1.txt
I need to execute all these 3 scripts in crontab for copyn the files automatically.
I am really a beginner in scripting. I know some logical mismatch may be der . PLease correct me and help me out for solving this.
REgards,
ROhith G

parallel-ssh
pssh(1) General Commands Manual pssh(1)
NAME
pssh -- parallel ssh program
SYNOPSIS
pssh [-vAiIP] [-h hosts_file] [-H [user@]host[:port]] [-l user] [-p par] [-o outdir] [-e errdir] [-t timeout] [-O options] [-x args] [-X
arg] command ...
pssh -I [-vAiIP] [-h hosts_file] [-H [user@]host[:port]] [-l user] [-p par] [-o outdir] [-e errdir] [-t timeout] [-O options] [-x args] [-X
arg] [command ...]
DESCRIPTION
pssh is a program for executing ssh in parallel on a number of hosts. It provides features such as sending input to all of the processes,
passing a password to ssh, saving output to files, and timing out.
OPTIONS
-h host_file
--hosts host_file
Read hosts from the given host_file. Lines in the host file are of the form [user@]host[:port] and can include blank lines and com-
ments (lines beginning with "#"). If multiple host files are given (the -h option is used more than once), then pssh behaves as
though these files were concatenated together. If a host is specified specified multiple times, then pssh will connect the given
number of times.
-H [user@]host[:port]
--host [user@]host[:port]
-H "[user@]host[:port] [ [user@]host[:port ] ... ]"
--host "[user@]host[:port] [ [user@]host[:port ] ... ]"
Add the given host strings to the list of hosts. This option may be given multiple times, and may be used in conjunction with the
-h option.
-l user
--user user
Use the given username as the default for any host entries that don't specifically specify a user.
-p parallelism
--par parallelism
Use the given number as the maximum number of concurrent connections.
-t timeout
--timeout timeout
Make connections time out after the given number of seconds. With a value of 0, pssh will not timeout any connections.
-o outdir
--outdir outdir
Save standard output to files in the given directory. Filenames are of the form [user@]host[:port][.num] where the user and port
are only included for hosts that explicitly specify them. The number is a counter that is incremented each time for hosts that are
specified more than once.
-e errdir
--errdir errdir
Save standard error to files in the given directory. Filenames are of the same form as with the -o option.
-x args
--extra-args args
Passes a extra SSH command-line arguments (see the ssh(1) man page for more information about SSH arguments). This option may be
specified multiple times. The arguments are processed to split on whitespace, protect text within quotes, and escape with back-
slashes. To pass arguments without such processing, use the -X option instead.
-X arg
--extra-arg arg
Passes a single SSH command-line argument (see the ssh(1) man page for more information about SSH arguments). Unlike the -x option,
no processing is performed on the argument, including word splitting. To pass multiple command-line arguments, use the option once
for each argument.
-O options
--options options
SSH options in the format used in the SSH configuration file (see the ssh_config(5) man page for more information). This option may
be specified multiple times.
-A
--askpass
Prompt for a password and pass it to ssh. The password may be used for either to unlock a key or for password authentication. The
password is transferred in a fairly secure manner (e.g., it will not show up in argument lists). However, be aware that a root user
on your system could potentially intercept the password.
-i
--inline
Display standard output and standard error as each host completes.
-v
--verbose
Include error messages from ssh with the -i and options.
-I
--send-input
Read input and send to each ssh process. Since ssh allows a command script to be sent on standard input, the -I option may be used
in lieu of the command argument.
-P
--print
Display output as it arrives. This option is of limited usefulness because output from different hosts are interleaved.
EXAMPLE
Connect to host1 and host2, and print "hello, world" from each:
pssh -i -H "host1 host2" echo "hello, world"
Print "hello, world" from each host specified in the file hosts.txt:
pssh -i -h hosts.txt echo "hello, world"
Run a command as root with a prompt for the root password:
pssh -i -h hosts.txt -A -l root echo hi
Run a long command without timing out:
pssh -i -h hosts.txt -t 0 sleep 10000
If the file hosts.txt has a large number of entries, say 100, then the parallelism option may also be set to 100 to ensure that the com-
mands are run concurrently:
pssh -i -h hosts.txt -p 100 -t 0 sleep 10000
Run a command without checking or saving host keys:
pssh -i -H host1 -H host2 -x "-O StrictHostKeyChecking=no -O UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -O GlobalKnownHostsFile=/dev/null" echo hi
EXIT STATUS VALUES
0 Success
1 Miscellaneous error
2 Syntax or usage error
3 At least one process was killed by a signal or timed out.
4 All processes completed, but at least one ssh process reported an error (exit status 255).
5 There were no ssh errors, but at least one remote command had a non-zero exit status.
