Script that kill itself

Hi All,

Is there a way to create a script1 that call another one ( script2 ) and after 20 seconds kill both ?

Tks..

Hi:

Sure, do launch the second script in the background; note its PID; sleep 20-seconds; issue a 'kill PID'; and exit. Something like:

#!/usr/bin/sh
$HOME/script2 &
PID=$!
sleep 20
kill $PID
exit 0

Regards!

Hi How about ..

#!/usr/bin/sh
/home/user/script2 &
sleep 20
pid_var=`ps -ef | grep script2 | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
kill -9 $pid_var

Hi Ricardo

try this

#!/usr/bin/ksh
/home/script1
/home/script2

A= `ps -ef | grep script1 | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'
B= `ps -ef | grep script2 | grep -v grep | awk'{print $1}'
C==`ps -ef | grep script1 | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'

sleep 20

kill -9 $A $B $C

and this should be good to go.

Hi:

Just as another way to do this using a Perl signal handler (among other more traditional methods), please see this thread:
