    running script in cron vs cmd line

    thanks guys, I ended up going a different route. Instead of trying to initiate an ssh or telnet session in the script I just did an rsh. This ultimately gave me what I was looking for, since the box I was testing was oddly rebooting into single user mode, so if my rsh (telnet or ssh) failed I...

    running script in cron vs cmd line

    # more mylog kill: 16760: no such process I'm now thinking that the script is returning a failed run code, since the kill $! is failing to find a process. Is this more a problem with the writing of the script as opposed to running it out of cron?

    running script in cron vs cmd line

    I tried using the first two suggestions: specifying full ssh path adding su - root -c /path/to/myscript to cron Script still fails. I'll have to install nmap to try the nmap option, since I dont have it by default w/ solaris10.

    running script in cron vs cmd line

    When I run the below script from the cmd line it works as expected. The script will accurately detect whether an ssh connection is available. But, when I put this same script in cron it fails every time, even when an ssh connection is available. Any ideas? Or possibly a better method to...

    case script cannot exit

    Thanks I'll try that. You mentioned the indentation. Is using it needed when scripting or is strictly for being easier to read?

    case script cannot exit

    Edited code: #!/bin/ksh while true do echo " 1) View ALL Failed Save Sets 2) Create Tickets for SERVER1 Failed Save Sets q) Quit" echo "" read input case $input in 1) clear echo "" echo "Listing of All Failed Save Sets:" echo "" awk '{print $0}' data.dat;; 2) clear...

    case script cannot exit

    I had removed the calls of ./script as well as add a break, but it did not work, so I just went back to my original code. I will try your suggestions again, post the edited code and tell you the results. thanks.

    case script cannot exit

    Well...I tried the suggestions you all noted above, but I am still unable to exit from the script back to a prompt. I also had a coworker look at it and he too was not able to get it to exit. I will post my script again on the hopes of generating some new ideas. Thanks. #!/bin/ksh while...

    group lines in file by common field

    This is a follow-up to my original post. The awk PHV worked well, and it now looks like this: awk -F":" ' $4!=s{if(n>1)print " server:"s": All";n=0} {print;s=$4;++n} END{if(n>1)print "'date' server:"s": All"} ' tmp.server > tmp2.server My question is, how can I modify the...

    case script cannot exit

    I was playing around with adding the break. Do I need one break per while true or one per select?

    case script cannot exit

    I removed the lines of the script calling itself and it works just the same - you were right they were unnecessary entries. However, I still cannot quit from the menu. I will look into the break command unless you guys have another suggestion.

    Thanks guys, I'll look into your suggestions.

    case script cannot exit

    Below is an example of a case script I'm using. The script works as expected, except for the q (quit/exit) option; it won't exit. Actually the script does exit properly if I choose q before choosing any other option. Unlike if I choose 2, then try and q, it wont work. I believe it has...

    group lines in file by common field

    Sure. The lines of my input.file are currently arranged/sorted by server name. The server name is specified in the second field ($2), this is with the fields separated by the " : ". As in the example: $1 $2 $3 homer: server1:/var/legato/rman/bin/ebuarch.PRTLDEV homer...

    group lines in file by common field

    First off, this site is such an amazing resource. Thanks to you all. Suppose I have an input.file that looks like: homer: server1:/var/legato/rman/bin/ebuarch.PRTLDEV homer: server1:/var/legato/rman/bin/ebuarch.PRTLPROD homer: server1:/var/legato/rman/bin/ebuarch.PRTLQA homer...

    select statement - can multiple options be chosen?

    My case is within a while-do-done. If this is what you were getting at, can you please explain further how this would work? thanks. while true do read input case $input in 1) option1 2) option2 3) clear grep marge data2.email > data3.marge echo "" echo "Listing of MARGE Failed...

    select statement - can multiple options be chosen?

    Below is a portion of a (ksh) case script. The way the menu works now is, via the select statement I can only choose one of the numbered options at a time. Is there a way to choose multiple options? For example, if I run the script and choose option 3, I will be presented with a list that...
