Thanks Don, i am not able to understand what exactly do you mean when you say i can make the name of my successful backup log file be an operand to my shell script? Do you have an example of it for my situation ?

---------- Post updated at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous update was at 08:29 AM ----------

to avoid the day/date confusion...i modified it to be something like below...just creating a simple file

Code:

export comp=/oracle/completed_backup
if [ ! -f /oracle/completed_backup ]
then touch $comp
fi

then at the end i check to make sure ## of count i want backed up and # of count db backup was successful..if it match remove
file otherwise do nothing(so if restart the backup it know which one to backup)

Code:

######   end of loop #######
done

## Check to make sure oratab entry and sucessful backup match
## if it dose then remove the file that captures success entry($comp)

actual_db=`egrep -i ":NBU" $ORATAB | grep -v "^#" | grep -v "\*" | cut -d":" -f1 | sort | uniq|wc -l`
success_db=`cat /oracle/sqlutils/completed_backup|wc -l`

if [ $actual_db = $success_db ]; then
    rm /oracle/sqlutils/completed_backup
	else
	:  #DO NOTHING if value dose not match
	fi

exit $RSTAT

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
