Swinstall issue

[Dewa Negara_4]

Hi All,

I have a script to distribute our SOE product using swinstall command on list of around 200 servers. Somehow the swinstall command is stuck on one of the servers that has been decommisioned, so the swinstall command for the rest of the servers can be completed. Please refer to the output below.

Is there any way to skip this stuck swinstall command, so it can continue to the next server?


[root@bdhm:/usr/local/sysmgr/secu_refresh]
# swinstall -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s bdhm:/var/spool/sw/applications/SECU SECU_TST @ bdhp4369

======= 09/17/06 23:30:23 EDT BEGIN swinstall SESSION
(non-interactive) (jobid=bdhm-4451)

* Session started for user "root@bdhm".

* Beginning Selection


Please help.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Dewa

It should timeout on it's own or you can interrupt it. cntrl+c

Hi Mr. Dewa,

As RAC informed to you, you can interupt the process by using CTRL+C OR kill the process.

Hope this information can help.

Cheers,

Hi Rac & Adi,

Thanks. This swinstall command is running on the script. Other word, my script contains swinstall command to distribute our SOE package. Of course the control+C won't be applicable.

My intention is that if the script is stuck because of swinstall command, it will skip it and continue the rest of the servers.

Thanks.

Hi Mr. Dewa,

You can use timeout parameter on your script for this issue; let says if there's no activity within X period, the script will jump to next system on the list.

But if you have a list of 'decom servers', the jobs will be more easiest since you can create a script to execute only on the 'non-decom servers'.
