usage:sleep time

[Michael Elleby III_1]

I have just setup a package for an Oracle database using the Enterprise Cluster Master toolkit (ORACLE.sh)...

The package starts up the database perfectly, but the message:

usage: sleep time

Continues to appear in my package script log until I halt the package.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

The sleep command is likely to be incorrectly used in your script. Search for the sleep command being used in the directory of cluster scripts.

# grep sleep *

Check for invalid syntax. The correct sleep syntax should be:

sleep [no. of seconds]

e.g.

# sleep 60

means sleep for 1 min.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Command syntax doesn't 'seem' to be the problem, as I checked all of my cluster scripts, but I'm still looking...

Hi,

Try inserting print or echo statements in your scripts. Would help identify whether this error occurred outside or within your scripts. If it is within a script, the command could possibly be in another script called within this script.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Steven-

Had to laugh at myself on this one. Had to assign values to the MONITOR_INTERVAL and TIME_OUT variables in ORACLE.sh to eliminate the usage message.

Thought I had already done it, but I missed it.. Thanx for pointing me in the right direction, as looking at each sleep statement made me realize that I needed to look at those variables.
