Din't get how to use it in my script

Hi Perderabo,

I dint get how can I use this in my script.

This is the cron for my current script
00,05,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * . $HOME/db-bin/controller.sh

This script is currently every 5 minutes.


In this script I call, three other shell scripts.

NOw, How do i schedule a cron. And if from the above method, no cron is needed, how will i take care if the script has exited abruptly?

What I thought was, I can scehdule a cron for every minute.i.e the Interval cannot be less than a minute.
Then I can log the last_run_time in the database and run it if the interval from the last run time is completed.

Thanks,
Rahul.

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
