Need help in running a process

Hello All,

We are running a process in unix box. This is how we will do

1.our process name is Runprojectprocess <ID> configuration
2.We will be running upto 500 id at once. So we are populating a text file as Runprojectprocess 1 configuration to Runprojectprocess 500 configuration
3. And we will execute the file.

this is what is happening when we are running at some point day 102 the process is geetting failed and it goes to 103 and it is completed sucessfully.When I checked why it is failed it was trying to insert some garbage value in the database. Also if i rerun the 102 process as separate it is running fine.

Question:
1. Is Unix wont be able to run multiple process as we are doing . So it is getting Garbage values ?

Thanks.
Arun

HOW do you start your processes?
Your question is unclear, as unix is certainly able to run multiple processes.
I'd rather check the inputstream you pass to your 'Runprojectprocess'.

Like, before starting the processes, save the values to a logfile before passing to the process to be started, so you can review and compare the values/inputstream.

Also, are you sure all your 'raw' data, is 100% identical for all the parts you pass to your processes?
If there is a slight diffrence, it might 'suddenly' read/pass other data than expected.

In addition to what sea has already said, consider the following:
  1. When you say "We will be running upto 500 id at once", it isn't clear whether that means you are trying to run 500 copies of Runprojectprocess sequentially or concurrently. If they are running concurrently, there are LOTS of issues you need to consider that you didn't mention.
  2. There are many things that could go wrong with code that makes bad assumptions about its environment; code that doesn't check for errors; code that could be affected by other processes updating a file that Runprojectprocess is reading, writing, or updating; or thousands of other things.
  3. If you show us Runprojectprocess and a representative sample of the text file you've created to run it, we might be able to provide useful feedback for your situation.
  4. And, as with many situations like this, knowing what operating system (including the release number) and shell you're using may make a difference in how your scripts behave.
