Dear Singh,

Thanks for the quick response. Let me try give more insight to what am trying to do. This is like a check script to make sure that the number of instance for a running process doesnt not fall short than expected.

For example,

The process readgfile is suppose to run 4 instance at a time but for one reason one or two of the instance goes down, i want to be able to check the count of instance running and automatically restart thhose failed instance from this script.

I have added like this, but still noticed it runs more that expected instance. Any suggestion please.

Code:

#!/bin/ksh    

### To check a running process instance

################# readgfile process #################

a=`ps -ef | grep readgfile | grep -v grep | grep -v "readgfile /AFF /SNV1" | grep "/AFF /SNV"|wc -l `
while [ $a -lt 4 ]
do 
						echo "... readgfile /AFF /SNV is not running, trying to start it"
$BIN/readgfile /AFF /SNV /D0 1>> $LOG/readgfileNV_$sach.log 2>> $LOG/readgfileNV_$sach.err &          
$BIN/readgfile /AFF /SNV /D0 1>> $LOG/readgfileNV_2_$sach.log 2>> $LOG/readgfileNV_2_$sach.err &      
$BIN/readgfile /AFF /SNV /D0 1>> $LOG/readgfileNV_3_$sach.log 2>> $LOG/readgfileNV_3_$sach.err &      
$BIN/readgfile /AFF /SNV /D0 1>> $LOG/readgfileNV_4_$sach.log 2>> $LOG/readgfileNV_4_$sach.err & 

a=$((a+1))

done

smd-loop

smd-loop(1)						 Sync Mail Dir (smd) documentation					       smd-loop(1)

NAME

       smd-loop - iterates smd-pull and smd-push

SYNOPSIS

       smd-loop [-vt]

DESCRIPTION

       smd-loop  runs  smd-push and smd-pull at regular intervals as defined by the user in the ~/.smd/loop configuration file. On errors that are
       reported to be transient, it retries a second time before failing.

       The configuration file is line-oriented. Each line is composed of three space separated fields:	pull-frequency,  push-frequency  and  end-
       point-name. Frequencies are expressed in minutes, while endpoint name is a valid name for smd-pull(1) and smd-push(1). Lines beginning with
       # are considered as comments. The following example calls the command smd-pull default every 3 minutes,	and  smd-push  default	every  10.
       Example:

	   # pull-frequency push-frequency endpoint-name
	     3		    10		   default

OPTIONS

       -v     Increase program verbosity (printed on stderr)

       -t     Just create a template configuration file if none

FILES

       ~/.smd/loop

SEE ALSO

       mddiff(1), smd-server(1), smd-client(1), smd-push(1), smd-pull(1)
