Bug Calling Config file in the Script.. Please help
Hi Guys,
I need some help related to my script... I will explain you briefly about my script and requirement

I written one script which will monitor all my services in the server and send a mail to me....
There are about 10 Services(Processes) running on my services, and I have written 10 functions in the script and calling these functions in main function.
Almost 90 % of each script is doing the same thing what the other 9 scripts do, Like each script contains service name,Log path, Host name, getting the latest log ..etc..

Only slight difference in each script is, getting the Process ID of each service and Log pattern.

When ever there is a new service added in my server, i am adding a new function in my script, which is really confusing for my team mates to change the script, So I want to make it as Generic.

To make the script Generic I am thinking of to create a one config file and put all the common thing in that file and call that file from my script, and my script will contain one for loop and it will get the service names and run one by one.

so that new service(process) added in my server, so new person will just add the common thing in the config file and run the script..

So Script must be knowledge enough to get the details from the config file and run the script

But I am not that knowledge enough in Script to write this logic in my generic script.

can some one please help me out here... Sorry for big mail...

Regards,
Anji

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a	Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
