Hi,

How can we run/schedule a shell script. Since there is no access to cron at this point of time we have to think other way out to run a script every hour.
How can we achieve this. Need advice.

How about using sleep,autosys etc...the script should trigger off every hour...which sends email via mail-x

Since cron is just made for this, you should try to get access.

There is at and batch but they are not persistant. Once fired off, they are gone.

Another way could be to write a script that runs like a demon in the background in a loop, sleeps a bit and checks which

Code:

date +%H

we currently have and if it changes, triggers off some action. But this would be somewhat cumbersome and up to ridiculous writing your own poor man's cron demon imho so maybe goto line 1 and try to get cron access.

Thanks Zaxxon!

Could you incorporate in the below script

Code:

sar -f sa15 | grep -v Average | grep -v "^$" | grep -vi restart | grep -v System | grep -v AIX | tail -48 > sa15.$$
mailx -s "Last 48 hours sar data at `date`" user@domain.com < sa15.$$
rm sa15.$$

Also please check why the heading are not displayed though in the script it is given grep System, grep Average.

Appreciate your help!

Bothering other people via PM with technical questions is not allowed - all should benefit from answers to a question and so please refrain from this.

You were also asked to use code tags and still do not do this.
Also you have another post where you are asking this already and got an answer.

Last warning to change your behaviour and do accordingly to the warnings and infractions you got from several mods. Else you will be out of this forum soon.

Think about it.
