schedule Script

[Karthick K S]

Hi all,

Is there any possible without using Cronjob there is any other shell script to run some commands every 1 min form 9am to 9pm

[RAC_1]

at command
man at
man batch

[Karthick K S]

without using at command is there any script

Sure you can always use job-scheduling software like Control-M if you don't want to use the Unix tools like at or cron.

Use sleep and put it in a loop. It will work

OK Thanks Arun i did same like but its working but is there any possible to automatically to go exit after 6PM

i am using output to some file using print command but that output not in good format for eg:

i need like this

ID Name Time

xx yyy yyy

[RAC_1]

some scripting can do it. But why not systems commands for it??-at or cron itself??

Script like follows will do it.
i=0900
while [$i -le 2100]
do
echo $i
((i+=1))
done >> /tmp/test.txt

while true
do
current_time=$(date "+%H%M")
file_time=$(grep -iq ${current_time} /tmp/tes.txt 2>/dev/null)
if [[ ${current_time} -eq ${file_time} ]];then
your_program to be excuted
else
exit 1
fi
done

[RAC_1 · Accepted solution]

Some corrections.

Prepare a file with timestamps 1 min apart
type -i i=0900
while [ $i -le 2100 ]
do
printf "%.4d\n" $i
((i+=1))
done > /tmp/some_file

Now start this script.
while true
do
current_time=$(date "+%H%M")
file_time=$(grep -iq ${current_time} /tmp/some_file 2>/dev/null)
if [[ ${current_time} -eq ${file_time} ]];then
"execute_your_program"
sleep
fi
done

Use printf instead of print in order to format it the way you want.

regards!

[Karthick K S]

HI,
Using printf is not formatting i am attached a file format

[Yogeeraj_1]

hi karthick,
did you look into measureware and the extract utility?

i regularly generate a report with the following format:
| | | |Memory| |Cache | Peak | Pk FS |Pg Out | Swap |Memory|
Year| Date |Time |CPU % | % |Swap %|Hit % |Disk %| Sp % | Rate |Out Rt |Queue |
2005|11/01/05|00:00| 46.43| 60.30| 33.00| 66.36| 93.69| 93.63| 0.0| 0.0| 0.00|
2005|11/01/05|00:05| 41.50| 60.55| 33.00| 57.87| 94.81| 93.63| 0.0| 0.0| 0.00|
2005|11/01/05|00:10| 38.87| 59.77| 33.00| 54.34| 92.88| 93.64| 0.0| 0.0| 0.00|


of course, you can customize this...

hope this helps!
