Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Would appreciate a quick second set of eyes on a script (regarding doing things in the background) Post 302435491 by methyl on Wednesday 7th of July 2010 01:00:45 PM

The red part never completes because nothing changes $DATE or $TDATE within the loop.

This might work (untested in bash):

Code:
       until [[ "$DATE" == "$TDATE" ]]; do
            sleep 1800
            DATE=$(date "+%m.%d.%y")
        done

NAME
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Informix - Base Storage Class for Informix Support DESCRIPTION
This class implements storage-specific support for the Informix RDBMS METHODS
connect_call_datetime_setup Used as: on_connect_call => 'datetime_setup' In connect_info to set the "DATE" and "DATETIME" formats. Sets the following environment variables: GL_DATE="%m/%d/%Y" GL_DATETIME="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%F5" The "DBDATE" and "DBCENTURY" environment variables are cleared. NOTE: setting the "GL_DATE" environment variable seems to have no effect after the process has started, so the default format is used. The "GL_DATETIME" setting does take effect however. The "DATETIME" data type supports up to 5 digits after the decimal point for second precision, depending on how you have declared your column. The full possible precision is used. The column declaration for a "DATETIME" with maximum precision is: column_name DATETIME YEAR TO FRACTION(5) The "DATE" data type stores the date portion only, and it MUST be declared with: data_type => 'date' in your Result class. You will need the DateTime::Format::Strptime module for inflation to work. AUTHOR
