UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I have a script that take one parameter as an input.

for example:

./clean.sh <foldername>

There are 7 different folder names that we can provide to my script and my script would delete the contents of that folder that was passed as an argument.

Inorder to have this script ./clean.sh as an autosys job will I have to create 7 different scripts and hardcode the 7 different folder names in there for the autosys to execute it or does autosys has the ability to pass parameters to scripts that is configured to auto execute.

only one script is enough. But you need 7 different autosys job. (If you want to clean the directories in different time).

If you want to clean all the directories in a particular time, then one job and one script is enough.

put all the 7 directories in one file ( filesToClean.txt )

Code:

while read dirName
do
/full-path-of-/clean.sh $dirName
done < filesToClean.txt

If you want to execute the scripts in different time, then you need to create 7 autosys jobs and in the command, you need to pass the arugument for clean.sh

That's my requirement. Can you help me give me one example of JIL where i can pass any parameter to my "./clean" script like

./clean 3

or

./clean 5

One parameter for one execution at a given time.

Can you help with JIl c0mmand for the same?

I will forward your JIL to my Autosys team.

Regards
