How can I run a script being sure that it runs all the way to the end even if the source file is deleted or replaced while running?
Actually, I have a script that runs daily on several servers. It replaces local files by updates from a master server. But I'd like it to replace itself too if an update is found on the master server.
Here is an example of what happens if a script is replaced while running:
How can I make sure the script runs entirely even if replaced while running?
1) The replacement file should not run immediately, this update will run the next day.
2) I would prefer not to have to create temporary files.
3) Although it would be a simple solution, it's hard for me to wait until the end of the script to do the replacement because other tasks run after files are updated.
I am using blow script :--
#!/bin/bash
FIND=$(ps -elf | grep "snmp_trap.sh" | grep -v grep) #check snmp_trap.sh is running or not
if
then
# echo "process found"
exit 0;
else
echo "process not found"
