Script calling another script not working
Hi,

I'm new to this forum. I'm working on a Hyperion Essbase project and I'm responsible for the automation part of the piece. I am trying to execute 4 maxl script at the same time but it seem to be not working. Below is my script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

# Maxl script to run
export MAXL_SCRIPT_1=/hyperion/..../script1.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_2=/hyperion/..../script2.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_3=/hyperion/..../script3.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4a=/hyperion/..../script4a.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4b=/hyperion/..../script4b.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4c=/hyperion/..../script4c.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4d=/hyperion/..../script4d.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_5=/hyperion/..../script5.maxl

/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_1 "

wait
/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_2 "

wait
/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_3 "

wait
/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_4a " &
/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_4b " &
/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_4c " &
/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_4d " &

wait
/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_5 "

echo Done.

Seem that it will only execute only two of the scripts randomly. It would sometime execute 4a & 4d and so forth. I need to have the script execute 4a, 4b, 4c, & 4d at the same time and then it would execute script 5 once all the script 4s are complete.

Any information to why it is just executing only 2 scripts and not all 4 scripts would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Tim

What shell are you using and why do you have to start the scripts in the manner that you are using?

The reason i'm running this script in this manner because we are trying to have all the calculation scripts run in parallel. if we have each calculation script run in serial it will take over 14 hours. So, basically we split some 20 some script into 5 in each 4 different database and let them process we are hoping that this will cut down the time to process the calculation. i hope what i'm explaining makes sense.
