script problem

[deepak_9]

Hi ,

We have glnceplus installed for our superdome servers. Sendmail is also configured for these servers. I want to automate the glace o/p using cron so that we can receive it for each 10 min duration. Following is the workaround I have done but some how it's not fuctioning.


1) Wrote a script glance1 [content of which is attached herewith"
2) done following entries in crontab file :-

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /shripad/scripts/glance1
1,11,21,31,41,51 * * * * mailx -s CPU UTILIZATION ON DBNODE as on $2$3$6 shripad.patkar@seepz.tcs.co.in < /shripad/logs/glancelog/glance$4 $2$3.log

Hi

cron is executing the script at ten minute intervals but nothings is being passed to the script to process.

In the script you have variables $2... these are meant to hold some info passed to the script at execution time.

cheers
John.

Hi deepak

I looked into what your trying to achieve and I think I have better way to this.

forget cron

run glance in background constantly reporting to a file every ten minutes.

echo "runq=" > /tmp/glance.syntax

/opt/perf/bin/glance -advisor-only -syntax /tmp/glance/syntax -j 600 > /tmp/glance.output &

this will now do what you need and if you man on glance it will tell you about different options you may wish to include in the glance.syntax file.

good luck
John.

Hi John,

I think this will solve my purpose. But how to enable this at system startup so that even after reboot it will be there. Do I have to prepare a RC script or glance has an option. Also what is "runq" and one more doubt is "shall I have to invoke this command only once from the command prompt or?"


Regards

Hi

the runq is not doing anything I just wanted to prove the syntax file got used.

I will test on my system the best way to ensure this runs each boot time and get back to you shortly.

Hi John,

I am able to get the output but it contains junk characters, don't know how to get rid of this. Typed below is the output which I have set to receive to a mail id with cron daemon's help.

Hi deepak

what happens if you "cat" the output file on the unix server ?

I crashed my server testing a few things but will be back up and running shortly.

have you done a man on glance there's lots of help in the pages I suspect your last problem is we need to format the output into an ascii format.

back soon
John.

Hi again

I have my system back now the file created is in fact a screen dump ready for a printer. There appears to be no options to have an ascii output that I can see.
