Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Code creates day 32 instead of 1st day of next month. Post 302444380 by libertyforall on Wednesday 11th of August 2010 06:01:33 PM
Old 08-11-2010
I am running on a Linux Box.

[rhuff@huina working]$ echo $SHELL
/bin/csh

---------- Post updated at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous update was at 11:56 AM ----------

My script worked for the date. the kshell script was partially borrowed script from an earlier project which I have had to modify. The line
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

is a dead line. In any case, I have a running Cronjob twice daily. I want to add a line to the script that searches for a file. If the file does not exist, I need to kill the job and run it again in one hour. I am running the program and 2 am and 2pm. I would want the job to run again at 3am and 3pm respectively. How could I do this and still keep the cronjob running twice daily if I killed it once?

nqs2pbs(1B)								PBS							       nqs2pbs(1B)

NAME
nqs2pbs - convert NQS job scripts to PBS SYNOPSIS
nqs2pbs nqs_script [pbs_script] DESCRIPTION
This utility converts a existing NQS job script to work with PBS and NQS. The existing script is copied and PBS directives, #PBS , are inserted prior to each NQS directive #QSUB or #@$ , in the original script. Certain NQS date specification and options are not supported by PBS. A warning message will be displayed indicating the problem and the line of the script on which it occurred. If any unrecognizable NQS directives are encountered, an error message is displayed. The new PBS script will be deleted if any errors occur. OPERANDS
nqs_script Specifies the file name of the NQS script to convert. This file is not changed. pbs_script If specified, it is the name of the new PBS script. If not specified, the new file name is nqs_script.new . NOTES
Converting NQS date specifications to the PBS form may result in a warning message and an incompleted converted date. PBS does not support date specifications of "today", "tomorrow", or the name of the days of the week such as "Monday". If any of these are encountered in a script, the PBS specification will contain only the time portion of the NQS specification, i.e. #PBS -a hhmm[.ss]. It is suggested that you specify the execution time on the qsub command line rather than in the script. Note that PBS will interpret a time specification without a date in the following way: - If the time specified has not yet been reached, the job will become eligible to run at that time today. - If the specified time has already passed when the job is submitted, the job will become eligible to run at that time tomorrow. PBS does not support time zone identifiers. All times are taken as local time. SEE ALSO
qsub(1B) Local nqs2pbs(1B)
All times are GMT -4. The time now is 02:33 PM.
