Help on shell script conditional execution when CPU Idle > 60%
I need a shell script that will monitor a few conditions and not execute until the these conditions are met. The problem I'm having is that I can not perform a database snapshot (backup) of a sybaseIQ database unless the CPU Status Idle % is above 60% or the snapshot (backup) fails.
If
Condition 1 - Is the CPU Status Idle% > 60 % ?
Then
Execute the snapshot(backup) command
sleep 120 seconds
if
condition2 - was the backup successful ?
cat backup.log | grep for “backup successful”
then email “backup successful” to ????
else
loop back to condition1
Else loop back to condition1

What OS do you have? Some of the format of command output can vary by system.
Plus some systems have commands that give cpu utilization.
