Ok...I ran a test and on my mac, everything works as it should, but not when it's spawned via dbms_scheduler on exadata....
This is the logic (it works)
This is the template:test.ksh
This is the cfg file (simple.cfg)
This code reads the template and creates as many ksh's and spawns as exists in the cfg (runit.ksh)
Here's one genned:
This is run_once_last.ksh
It appears to work here, but when I schedule the job to run in oracle's dbms_scheduler, which kicks off the base job, everything works except the count check which would kick off the run_once_last.ksh
Obviously this is just an example, but it's all about attempting to run all oracle instances rman backups simultaneously but only run one tape backup, and that after the last backup that finishes completes....
BTW, I appreciate the sounding board. I'm not much of a scripter, I just hack away...
I'm getting rather frustrated with an interactive script I'm writing.
The script is divided up, with section for setting variable at the top, then functions (which make up most of the script) then basically a line at the end which calls the first function- the program moves between the... (5 Replies)

Hi,
I want to write a script which should be run only on foreground. Is there any way that the script can check itself whether it was run using nohup or ksh and if the user runs the script using nohup then it should prompt the user to run it using ksh?

I recently patched a RHEL5 host from 5.2 to 5.5. There are some scripts that simply do a ps and grep to check for itself before proceeding. I personally don't like the way the scripts are written and would have done it differently. Before I can proceed with patching the production servers, I... (12 Replies)
Hi,
I wanted to know the exact behavior of the shell scripts in the below scenario.
I have 2 scripts - a.ksh and b.ksh
Both these scripts call a 3rd script xyz.ksh.
What will happen if both a.ksh and b.ksh run at the same time?
What will happen if a.ksh starts 2-3 seconds before b.ksh?... (3 Replies)
So this one just plain confuses me. I have a bunch of somewhat CPU intensive processes that all communicate using a shared memory region. Some of these programs are threaded and some also change the scheduling to FIFO or round robin. The good news is that everything works as long as I spawn... (3 Replies)

env
env(1) User Commands env(1)NAME
env - set environment for command invocation
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/env [-i | -] [name=value...] [ utility [ arg... ]]
/usr/xpg4/bin/env [-i | -] [name=value...] [ utility [ arg... ]]
DESCRIPTION
The env utility obtains the current environment, modifies it according to its arguments, then invokes the utility named by the utility op-
erand with the modified environment.
Optional arguments are passed to utility. If no utility operand is specified, the resulting environment is written to the standard output,
with one name=value pair per line.
/usr/bin
If env executes commands with arguments, it uses the default shell /usr/bin/sh (see sh(1)).
/usr/xpg4/bin
If env executes commands with arguments, it uses /usr/xpg4/bin/sh (see ksh(1)).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-i | - Ignores the environment that would otherwise be inherited from the current shell. Restricts the environment for utility to
that specified by the arguments.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
name=value Arguments of the form name=value modify the execution environment, and are placed into the inherited environment before
utility is invoked.
utility The name of the utility to be invoked. If utility names any of the special shell built-in utilities, the results are unde-
fined.
arg A string to pass as an argument for the invoked utility.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Invoking utilities with new PATH values
The following utility:
example% env -i PATH=/mybin mygrep xyz myfile
invokes the utility mygrep with a new PATH value as the only entry in its environment. In this case, PATH is used to locate mygrep, which
then must reside in /mybin.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of env: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MES-
SAGES, and NLSPATH.
PATH Determine the location of the utility. If PATH is specified as a name=value operand to env, the value given shall be used in the
search for utility.
EXIT STATUS
If utility is invoked, the exit status of env is the exit status of utility. Otherwise, the env utility returns one of the following exit
values:
0 Successful completion.
1-125 An error occurred.
126 utility was found but could not be invoked.
127 utility could not be found.
