@Chubler_XL,
Whenever i am executing this script through informatica command task, issue of 2 process creation for one script execution is occurring. If i execute the script at command line, one process will get created. This is irrespective of shell thats being used.

I am seeing one more process for the script execution getting created. Please see below.

Code:
% ps -ef | grep '[c]oldcentric'
     DW 29690 13496   0 14:37:07 ?           0:00 sh -c /DATAWAREHOUSE/LOAD/Scripts/coldcentric.sh
     DW 29691 29690   0 14:37:08 ?           0:00 sh -c /DATAWAREHOUSE/LOAD/Scripts/coldcentric.sh


I executed script /DATAWAREHOUSE/LOAD/Scripts/coldcentric.sh from a command task in Informatica worklow as shown below.

Code:
./DATAWAREHOUSE/LOAD/Scripts/coldcentric.sh

When i abort command task or workflow, i am seeing only first process among above 2 process getting killed and second process would be alive and will not get killed. It becomes orphan and kernel process id gets tagged to this process. It remains by utilizing CPU.

After aborting worklow, below still remains.

Code:
% ps -ef | grep '[c]oldcentric'
DW 29691 11490   0 14:37:08 ?           0:00 sh -c /DATAWAREHOUSE/LOAD/Scripts/coldcentric.sh


I am using a while loop in my script as shown below.

Code:
while [ ! -f LANDDIR/TRIGGERFILE ]
do
  sleep 60
done

I am executing other scripts in my other ETLs and i am not facing this issue. There is no while loop like above in those scripts. Is this creating a problem ?


Thanks,

locale::script5.18

Locale::Script(3pm)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				       Locale::Script(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Script - standard codes for script identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Script;

	  $script  = code2script('phnx');		      # 'Phoenician'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician'); 	      # 'Phnx'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician',
				 LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC);	      # 115

	  @codes   = all_script_codes();
	  @scripts = all_script_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924
       four-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
       that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $script = code2script('phnx','alpha');
	  $script = code2script('phnx',LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha, LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA
	   This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician.  It also includes additions to this set
	   included in the IANA language registry.

	   The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used.

	   This is the default code set.

       num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC
	   This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician.

ROUTINES

       code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_script_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_script_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::rename_script  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::delete_script  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Script::delete_script_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Script::rename_script_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::delete_script_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
