I know nothing about informix. Is it possible to carry out a database copy from one server with 7.31.UD2X2 informix onto another server running 7.31.FD6X7? Regards Blodwyn

That's great, thanks. What if I wanted to limit the number of re-tries to, say 5, so that after 5 attempts it no longer sleeps but aborts? Cheers Blodwyn

Hi I have a basic script that works OK, but I need to adjust it. At the moment, if a certain process is running at the time, it will abort. I need to enhance it so that, in that situation, it will sleep for a designated period before retrying the step, and continue to do so until the process...

Hi There is a field in a large data table which contains users email addresses, eg xxxx@mybusiness.com. I need to be able to change all these addresses to xxxx@yourbusiness.com. Although xxxx relates to the individual users, it does not exist itself in the table. Is there a way I can update...

Hi Our application includes a very useful monitoring utility, with a selection of sub-menus. I should like to be able to take a snapshot of the output at times throughout the night, for further querying. I can get the initial menu into a file easily enough, but the details I need are within a...

Thanks Ygor, that looks great - some of the syntax is new to me, which is good. Where does flagfile come from? Regards Blodwyn

Hi I've always had a very helpful response from you experts out there and I hope that somebody will assist me now. I'm trying to write a script that will kick off a monitoring job script at a prompted time, to repeat every so many prompted minutes, until a certain time, or for a prompted...

Thanks for all your help. "break 1" seems to do what I want. (The script is only a simplified test version with "echo" replacing other command(s).) Regards Blodwyn

Sorry for being a dumb blonde, but I really wanted to be able to abort the current list in the event of an error (for example ge8) and go onto the next list of objects in the filelist, and so on. Is that possible? Regards Blodwyn

Hi again vlad When I use continue instead of return, the job continues to the next object in the present list after an error code ge8? Blodwyn

Thanks Obviously I'm missing something here, hoping that the script would now proceed to the next file in the filelist after an error 0008. Can you help me further? Regards Blodwyn saturn:blodwyn 46% vi script #!/bin/sh for LIST in `ls filelist` do for DATA in `cat ${LIST}`...

I now have a script that will execute a command on a list of objects (for X in 'cat list' do ........). Courtesy of vgersh99, should a particular error code(s) result, the job will exit without proceeding to the next object on the list. My next requirement is to process multiple lists in the...

Hi vlad That did the trick, thanks for your help. (You wouldn't believe how long I've been looking at this!) Regards Blodwyn

Thanks for that vlad. Below is my fresh attempt, what have I done wrong? saturn:blodwyn 12% vi temp2 #!/bin/sh SS1=`cat /home/tasks/logfile|grep STOP|tail -1|awk '{print $5}'` echo $SS1 if [$SS1 -ge 003 -a $SS1 -le 007]; then exit fi; ~ ~ ~~~ ~ "temp2" 8 lines, 152 characters...

I'm sure this is an easy one for you gurus out there but not for my limited experience. One particular joblog gives 5 possible completion status codes:- 003, 004, 005, 006, 007 for each phase of the job. If the result is 003, 004 or 005 I need to exit without going onto the next phase. Any...

Hi All I have extracted some required data, using AWK, and to make the report more "user friendly" I should like to insert descriptive headings to the different columns. How to do? Thanks in advance. Blodwyn

Can anybody tell me where I can get hold of a copy of Reflections X, version 10? I have emailed sales at WRQ and also the recommended local re-seller but have had no reply. Obviously they're not interested in a single user sale. Regards Blodwyn

Thanks Ekmino I shall stick with that then. blodwyn

Hi How can I schedule a backup job, to backup the transaction logs, to run immediately after a save of the database?

Thanks for your help guys. We are using version 6.0.1 of Networker on Solaris/Oracle(32) 8.1.6.0.0. We have not installed a SAP module (£££), wishing to use brbackup directly. "Apparently" this shuld be possible, and with the introduction of backup_dev_types pipe_box & tape_box it...
