RSC is part of every SUN UNIX box. It is found in the systems firmware. However, rscadm, is found on an accompanying disk. RSC runs independently of the OS, i.e. it doesn't need an OS to function....

Have you considered using the system's "at" command that invokes your script?

Good Luck!

sed does not change or alter the original file whatsoever, it copies the file supplied to it from the command line to a region of memory called the "pattern space" it uses this to perform its...

sed does not impact or change the input file, it uses memory to duplicate the file, called "pattern space", it works by copying the input file to memory and does its work using the memory version of...

cron is pretty good about reporting to the user its status, i.e. whether it's running / active. If you're suspicious, then I would suggest placing an echo

ln -s /file_to_link name - where name is name of link!

Good luck!

If you're using HP-UX you should have remsh available. The "remsh" allows you to access remote machines, assuming you have authority to do so, and
execute programs, commands et al. You should...

I suggest changing the default SHELL that cron is using, /bin/sh (I think?), to the SHELL your script is written in. You will have to dig, a little, i.e. man cron. But chaning the default SHELL...

To have the script include the "\" character I would re-write it so that the condition echo $line is replaced by echo "\$line\". In this way the reverse virgules should appear on either side of the...

The means I use to ignore case, as an example is the following snippet:

read -p "Enter Y/N to continue: " YN
y|Y|YES|Yes|n|N|NO|No=`echo $YN | tr [:lower:][:upper:]`

This allows anybody using...

I suggest that you change the default SHELL that CRON uses ( /bin/sh ?). I would change it to the default SHELL that your script is written in. You need to perform a man on cron to find it though. ...

I'm suggesting using the single backtick character before and after the "find" command. The character I suggest using is located in the upper left of the

I would suggest just relogging in with the same user id. That should result in the history commands being available as per the pre-logout state.

The first entry in your script is:
#!/bin/bash ( for a bash shell ) or,
#!/usr/bin/ksh ( for a ksh - usual location.)

To debug your script, the shell has a useful feature, it is:set -xv. You can place this entry anywhere in the script to provide useful debug information when you run the script. I usually comment...

Perl has a debug mode. I think its activated by appending the name with an

You could continue the script with an if statement. For example, if the exception is: except, then you could insert an "if" statement in the script for
handling it:

YGOR's correct. If your shell is timing out you need to set the TMOUT env variable. TMOUT=60;export TMOUT should do it. You can check it by using
echo $TMOUT or env | grep -i TMOUT.
