thanks guys, I ended up going a different route. Instead of trying to initiate an ssh or telnet session in the script I just did an rsh. This ultimately gave me what I was looking for, since the box I was testing was oddly rebooting into single user mode, so if my rsh (telnet or ssh) failed I...

# more mylog kill: 16760: no such process I'm now thinking that the script is returning a failed run code, since the kill $! is failing to find a process. Is this more a problem with the writing of the script as opposed to running it out of cron?

I tried using the first two suggestions: specifying full ssh path adding su - root -c /path/to/myscript to cron Script still fails. I'll have to install nmap to try the nmap option, since I dont have it by default w/ solaris10.

When I run the below script from the cmd line it works as expected. The script will accurately detect whether an ssh connection is available. But, when I put this same script in cron it fails every time, even when an ssh connection is available. Any ideas? Or possibly a better method to...

Just noticed your question. not a typo, just how I am passing around some of the data...

Thanks I'll try that. You mentioned the indentation. Is using it needed when scripting or is strictly for being easier to read?

I had removed the calls of ./script as well as add a break, but it did not work, so I just went back to my original code. I will try your suggestions again, post the edited code and tell you the results. thanks.

...for: $line" echo "Continue y/n?" read reply1 if [ "$reply1" = "y" ] then echo "Working . . ." ./maketicket else echo "Request Cancelled";sleep 1 fi done;; q) echo "Exiting . . . ";sleep 1;exit;; *) echo "Please Make Another Selection";sleep 1;; esac done

Thanks Annihilannic - worked perfectly.

This is a follow-up to my original post. The awk PHV worked well, and it now looks like this: awk -F":" ' $4!=s{if(n>1)print " server:"s": All";n=0} {print;s=$4;++n} END{if(n>1)print "'date' server:"s": All"} ' tmp.server > tmp2.server My question is, how can I modify the...

I was playing around with adding the break. Do I need one break per while true or one per select?

I removed the lines of the script calling itself and it works just the same - you were right they were unnecessary entries. However, I still cannot quit from the menu. I will look into the break command unless you guys have another suggestion.

Thanks guys, I'll look into your suggestions.

thank you guys

Sure. The lines of my input.file are currently arranged/sorted by server name. The server name is specified in the second field ($2), this is with the fields separated by the " : ". As in the example: $1 $2 $3 homer: server1:/var/legato/rman/bin/ebuarch.PRTLDEV homer...

First off, this site is such an amazing resource. Thanks to you all. Suppose I have an input.file that looks like: homer: server1:/var/legato/rman/bin/ebuarch.PRTLDEV homer: server1:/var/legato/rman/bin/ebuarch.PRTLPROD homer: server1:/var/legato/rman/bin/ebuarch.PRTLQA homer...

Below is a portion of a (ksh) case script. The way the menu works now is, via the select statement I can only choose one of the numbered options at a time. Is there a way to choose multiple options? For example, if I run the script and choose option 3, I will be presented with a list that...
