Hi, try:

printf " \n"
#read the content of the file by line
while read vStr1 vStr2
do
echo "vStr1: $vStr1"
echo "vStr2: $vStr2"

Difficult to tell unless you post the relevant part of the script in code tags.

Et voila: look at line 6: if [[ $# != 0 ]]; then This script does NOT accept any parameters!
Comment out that paragraph and try again.

Case sensitivity is OK, so 'grep -c' not grep -ic'. The meta characters '[]' escaping the '.' keep it from being counted. LINUX users have 'pgrep -c sfs_load_file.ksh'

Still misses sourced...

Actually it should return 0 if there are 0 processes.
Try this one:
ps -eo args | grep -ic "sfs_load_file[.]ksh"
BTW one can supress the ps header:
ps -eo args= | grep -ic "sfs_load_file[.]ksh"

*.* is a DOS thing, to specify all files in UNIX only * is necessary.

That's a useless use of ls * (http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html#ls) and useless use of backticks...

cd $vidr
find . ! -name . -prune -type f -name "$vfile" -mtime +$pday

Grep might differ depending on platform - the systems man pages should help you figure that out. In the page quoted above, it's saying that a return value of 0 means a match was found, a return...

That is a neat trick, thanks :) Better than the grep -v grep that I would normally use.



Any grep I've ever has these very same return codes (including AIX). They're defined in the standard...

The output of ISRUNNING is the count of lines matching the regexp. Which is not the same as the exit code of the grep command itself (you can use $? to test the exit code).

Since you're not checking the exit status of grep, this doesn't apply.

For example, given a file (or a process list, or whatever) containing this

foo
bar
baz


You could see if "baz" was...

First off, those should be backtics, (i.e. `) for the ISRUNNING line.

That code will look at the process table. If it finds any lines containing the name of the script "cca_monthly_load_file.ksh"...
