Shell Programming and Scripting

Thanks Rudic.

The last one did the help

Is there a way to define any output redirection at starting of my file. instead using LOG_FILE 2>&1 everytime.

somthing like below in script.
exec > LOG_FILE 2>&1

I want all the outputs and error message to get update in LOG_FILE

Well, what be the result of your above redirection? To me, it looks like it should work.

Code:

tui-log -tv "LOGFILE"  "MESSAGE"

Will log the MESSAGE to LOGFILE with leading time-stamp and print it (just the MESSAGE) to screen since it is verbose.

So you dont have to pass 2>&1.

OR something like:

Code:

echo "MESSAGE" | tee -v LOGFILE

hth

Thanks Rudic.

Can you help also assist me for a date function.

I mean the the above 4 scripts should run today's business date (Mon-Friday).
If any one the script fails for today for eg, then it should take the next business date and run these 4 scripts again.

I have tried this with the following code

Code:

RUN_DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
NEXT_DATE=`date -d "$d days" +%Y%m%d`
 
d=1
while (($(date -d "$d days" +%u) >= 6)); do ((++d));
date -d "$d days" +%Y%m%d
 
<SCRIPT 1>
<SCRIPT 2>
<SCRIPT 3>
<SCRIPT 4>
done

But its running only for necxt date. Can you help me with that please.

I don't understand what you request. Why don't you cron the four scripts for every business day?
