Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi ,

Can we run shell scripts by calling them through a GUI , so that even a New comer can run them by just clicking on them . We have around 100 Scheduled scripts and we have cornered on some 20 scripts that should be called through a GUI .

How can this be achieved ?

Thanks in anticipation !

Hi ,

May be I was short in explaining my requirement . Well , the requirement is as follows :

We have some processes running 24*7 .If by mistake the process stops we have scripts which notify us that the process has stopped .Now the problem is that we do not have 24*7 support .So if the process stops after 9PM it will not re start till 9AM , thereby creating lot of backlog . Now to fight with this situation we are palnning to handover this acticvity to a seperate team whicg sits 24*7.

For this we need to provide them aceess to our servers( which we do not want to ) . So , we are planning to develop a small application though which they can run the required scripts instead of logging to our servers . Now how do we do this is the question ?

Someone please reply ! One of us should have an answer to this .

Shyam.

Shyam,

I'm facing the same problem you had faced. Did you find a solution for your probelm?
How did you over come this issue? I appreciate your input.

If you are trying to restart processes, and you have a team that you don't want to give access to your machine because they don't have much expertise, it seems like the correct solution to your problem is to automate the restart and log with as much detail as necessary to indicate why it's stopping, then correct the problem.

Perhaps you could give more information and explain what you're trying to achieve.
