running commands and emailing

[jehixson]

I need a little help with a script.
1. run a find command.
2. telnet to antoher server and run a find command.
3. exit to origianl server.
4. run another find command.
5. run 1 last find command.
6. save all the ouput text to a text file.
7. email to a specific address.

Fairly new but I do know how to set up a crontab to have it ran weekly.

as I stated before, I am new to unix scripting so not much. I need to find files, disk status, and volume and plexes then combine them together and send a .txt file via email them to a specific email address. I also need to find the same files on a standby system in which I can telnet to but I am not sure if I should create a file and the FTP it to the active system or not. I need to know the best way.

example of the commands

find / -name core > list1
(sleep 30 seconds) * not sure if this is correct
telnet 255.255.255.0 example only of course
find / -name core > list1.5
(sleep 30 seconds) * not sure if this is correct
ftp list 1.5 active system ip
volprint -A > list2
(sleep 3 seconds) * not sure if this is correct
voldisk -list > list3
(sleep 3 seconds) * not sure if this is correct

cat list1 list2 list3 > compiledlist.txt

I am not sure of emailing through a script and I would need some sleep time between each command listed above.

Instead of telnet you may consider remote shell, ie depending of your *nix flavor rsh, remsh or rcmd. If ssh is installed on both computers it's an option too.
For emailing you can try something like this:
mailx -s "Your subject here" somename@somecompany.com < compiledlist.txt
BTW why do want the script sleeps at each stage ?

I just threw it in there. I am not sure if it actually needs it. It takes about 15 to 20 and sometime up to 30 seconds to find the "core" files on the system.

Thanks for the help!

As long as you don't play with background job (final ampersand & on a command line) the shell waits for completion of the running command before starting a new one.
