Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

The point of this script is to run the same command on multiple of host. This was originally to run some audit scripts on the hdisk on the systems but on some there are a lot of hdisk. is there a way to kill the command from running and let it continue to run the command in the background? this is for a AIX system if that makes a difference.

I essentially want it to just run the command and move onto the next system while the command is actually still running on that same system.

Here's what I have so far:

Code:

#!/bin/ksh

HOSTLIST="<List of host>"
DELAY=3
print -n Enter Command to process on remote Host -
read CMD
print
exec 4>&1

for HOST in $HOSTLIST ; do
echo "running ${CMD} on ${HOST}:"
ssh -t -t $HOST >&4 2>/dev/null |&
sleep $DELAY
print -p /usr/bin/nohup ${CMD}
print -p exit
wait
echo "$CMD completed on ${HOST} !"
done

exit 0

you can run script in background. and it will killed automatically after its operation .

but from your script it looks like user has to provide some data to the script.

yes using ssh it sends the command i tell it to and it should be stopping and moving onto the next one but it doesn't.

anyone?
