Ok, so it doesn't have a log file.

Any other clues?

Hey guys, thanks for all your help. I just need to ask one more question.

The script works and detects whether or not fmxdbc_listener is running, ECHOs the results to the log, and if negative,...

Cheers Corona. I love how with Unix no matter how long and convoluted the command there is always a shorter, pithier way of expressing the same thing, that just depends on your knowledge level (or...

Cheers.

But is my new line:

ps -ax |grep '/[f]mxdbc_listen' | > /dev/null 2>&1
or
ps -ax |grep '/[f]mxdbc_listen' |grep > /dev/null 2>&1
or something else.

< newb

Thought I had better report back on this.

Success!!!

Ok, so going back to this post, I assume the grep statement is comparing a string to the output and matching 'fmxdbc_listener' in both, hence the problem. Should I instead search for...

Strange, that reports an illegal option.

Hmm, that doesn't return anything, just hangs until I Ctrl-C..

That gives:

When I run the code (without redirect) with fmxdbc_listener running I get:

If I run it without fmxdbc_listener running I get:

Any chance I could get some help with this line:

/bin/ps ax |grep fmxdbc_listener |egrep -v "grep|checkfmxdbc" > /dev/null 2>&1

I guess the intention is that it returns 0 then the process is...

The only problem I see with this is that I don't initially launch the process. It is a part of FileMaker's start up. So getting the initial PID might be a problem.

I seems to happen once or twice a week at current load.

I'm not sure how to recuperate the processID at launch time. If this would help I would appreciate your guidance.

But shouldn't I be able...

Hi all, please excuse the newby question.

I run OSX servers with Filemaker and Terascript (formerly Witango, before that Tango). Terascript talks to Filemaker via JDBC so I have installed the...
