Full Discussion: ksh behavior in scripts spawned w/nohup

Why use nohup ?
Why generate scripts from scripts ?

A simple while loop reading one configuration file in one script should

Spawn the required rman backup processes in background.
After the while loop has finished (spawned the processes), using wait, wait for those to finish.
After that line, a invoke a backup to tape.

This is most rudimentary, and it will not check success of background processes.
But the code you posted only counts processes, so i guess that is not the requirement.

As i see it, you wish your program to know if the processes which backup database on some filesystem are done or do not exist anymore, then issue a tape backup on that filesystem.

Is this correct ?

Peasant.
