Alister and ygemici, Thanks a lot for your invaluable suggestions and tips.

My friend also suggested one solution.
  • Since the backup will take a minimum of 5-6 hours, instead of writing a script that has to sleep till the backup is complete, why not, schedule a cronjob that runs say 4 hours after the backup is kicked off.
  • This script can check if the backup is still running and exit if it is. If the backup is not running (i.e., it is finished), check whether the database is up or not and depending on that, start it up.
Seems like a workable solution instead of using the sleep command till the script complete.

What say?


Regards,

Praveen
