Catching the termination of one script
Hi
I have a Shell script that needs to execute a command at the
End of the excursion of other script And I cant get a handel
On the trap command. And that is if the trap command
Is the proper way to go

this is a extract of the script

Code:
MYHOST=`hostname| cut -d. -f1`
echo $MYHOST

   cd /var/powerpassword/v3.4/ppsparc_solarisV-3.4.15-1/install
exec  ./ppinstall -b $MYMASTER  $MYHOST ;
#
########################################################
# Trap the successfull completion of ppinstal
########################################################
trap ppinstall 0
ppinstall()
{
  echo "Caught Signal ... ."
  ppadmin trace > /var/tmp/`hostname`-trace-result.txt
  echo "Done  ... quitting."
  exit 1
}

The 'exec' command means 'replace the shell with the command I give here'. After you run 'exec ./ppinstall' your shell no longer exists and can't trap anything. Smilie Remove the exec and you won't need trap at all, since the shell script will continue running after ppinstall completes.

Yes thank you

IJust dicovered that also. Now I have a nwe issue whit the same script

A loop that has issue :-(

Code:
MYVER=`uname -a | awk '{print $3}'`
   echo  $MYVER
{
   if  ["$MYVER" = "5.10"]
then
      /usr/sbin/svcadm disable telnet
else 
  /usr/sbin/ppadmin stop
}

Please put code in code tags. [ code ] stuff [ /code ] without the extra spaces in the tags.

Code:
MYVER=`uname -a | awk '{print $3}'`
   echo  $MYVER
{
   if  ["$MYVER" = "5.10"]
then
      /usr/sbin/svcadm disable telnet
else 
  /usr/sbin/ppadmin stop
}

What are the { } brackets for? This doesn't look like a function. Did you want to do something like this?
Code:
MYVER=`uname -a | awk '{print $3}'`
   echo  $MYVER

if  ["$MYVER" = "5.10"]
then
      /usr/sbin/svcadm disable telnet
else 
      /usr/sbin/ppadmin stop
fi
