error trap in ksh for 2 jobs running concurrently

[pearlofperls]

2 java jobs being called in ksh script and error trapping wont work when one or both fails

Couple additonal points:
- this use to work on HP but doesnt after we migrated to solaris

- this type of error trapping works in solaris for other scripts calling one job

- we cannot make the jobs run serially, they need to run concurrently due to time restraints

e.g.

nohup $LIVE_DIR/ANVIL1 &

$LIVE_DIR/ANVIL2


wait

_ret_code=$?
if [ $_ret_code -ne 0 ]
then
echo "ANVIL Script failed."
exit $FAIL
fi

How about breaking it into two jobs, each with it's own error handling...

nohup $LIVE_DIR/ANVIL1.sh & 
nohup $LIVE_DIR/ANVIL2.sh &

$LIVE_DIR/ANVIL1

wait

_ret_code=$?
if [ $_ret_code -ne 0 ]
then
 echo "ANVIL1 Script failed."
 exit $FAIL
fi

$LIVE_DIR/ANVIL2

wait

_ret_code=$?
if [ $_ret_code -ne 0 ]
then
 echo "ANVIL2 Script failed."
 exit $FAIL
fi

Simple solution.
