How to send output during ssh command execution

SwissKnife — Tue, 22 Dec 2015 10:42:08 GMT

Hi,

Here is a ksh function:

function GenSnapshot {

spout=`ssh -T -i ~/.ssh/delphix_key cs.delphix.ds@dlx37cti1 <<- EOF
   database
   select ${DELPHIX_OBJECT}
   sync
   commit
   exit
EOF`

}

I'm not mastering execution time an this is normal (Sometime it tooks few seconds, sometime few hours). How to encapsulate the ssh call to provide an output every X minutes saying something like "Executing...."

Thanks in advance,

Best regards, Den.

You could put it in the background and then every N seconds check to see if the process is still alive.

And when done, copy the redirected output to the screen.

$! is the process of the last background command. Use "kill -0 $PID" to check if alive.
