Script csh not run on crontab!

pavenvn — Mon, 10 Oct 2005 22:32:57 GMT

A dba_stats.sh script:

#!/bin/csh -f

# Set the current month day and year.
set month=`date +%m`
set day=`date +%d`
set year=`date +%Y`
set hour=`date +%H`
set minute=`date +%M`
set second=`date +%S`

set YMDHMS=$year$month$day$hour$minute$second

set glancetmp = /ccbs2/stats_raw/ccbs2_glance_$YMDHMS.tmp
set glancetxt = /ccbs2/stats_raw/ccbs2_glance_$YMDHMS.txt
set toptmp = /ccbs2/stats_raw/ccbs2_top_$YMDHMS.tmp
set toptxt = /ccbs2/stats_raw/ccbs2_top_$YMDHMS.txt

# Create tmp files
/opt/perf/bin/glance -adviser_only -iterations 2 -j1 -syntax /ccbs2/cron/glance.syntax > $glancetmp
top -d 1 -f $toptmp

# Rename to txt files
mv $glancetmp $glancetxt
mv $toptmp $toptxt

I put this script into crontab and set run every 2 min.

0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,50,52,54,56,58 * * * * /ccbs2/cron/dba_stats.sh

The script have run well for 3 months. But at Oct 6th 2005 08:32:00 it didn't run. vi /var/mail/oss before and after error:

A copy of an editor buffer of your file "setenv"
was saved when the editor was killed.
This buffer can be retrieved using the "recover" command of the editor.
An easy way to do this is to give the command "ex -r setenv".
This works for "edit" and "vi" also.

Is it running fine now?? did you have problem at the time when this script did not run??

Did you look at syslog.log at around the time when the script did not run?

The dba_stats.sh script was written for my monitoring program. The monitor program help the people who work on Windows platform (not using X-Windows telnet/ssh HPUX) can collect and monitor the system performance (CPU,DISK I/O,MEMORY,TOP Process, vmstat,iostat, ...). My program have 3 parts:
- 1 or more scripts on HPUX
- 2 clients on Windows:
+ FTP client: transfer data on HPUX to Windows
+ Process client: processing data and put into Database
- Monitoring Program: (monitor.exe) run on any Windows to monitor.

I have just solved this problem by restarting the Windows which FTP program & Process program run on. But I don't know exactly that this is the problem?

include the -bootup option along with the -advisor_only option and it will take care of these errors.
