Prevent KSH script from abort - how ??

DBFinder · #1 (**permalink**) 10-13-11, 13:53

Hello All,

can someone help me some flag or command for KSH shell to keep script running after 'not found' error.

For example I have a command like below

Code:

log_today "Trying db2profile . . . "

. $dbmsprofile

if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then 
   echo "Success" >>$today_file 
  else
echo "Failed" >>$today_file
fi

Now in testing I pointed $dbmsprofile to non existing script file. The script terminates with the error :

Quote:

main[76]: /opt/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profilet: not found.

Please help me with some idea how do we avoid the termination of the script.

Regards

Code:

if [ -x /opt/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profilet ]
then
    /opt/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profilet
else
   echo program not found
fi

Thanks for response. Already running like that. Still I do not like it.

Code:

if [[ -s $dbmsprofile ]]; then 
    . $dbmsprofile
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then 
echo "Success" >>$today_file 
else
echo "Failed" >>$today_file
print "Error: DB profile could not be loaded\nDatabase : $db_name\nInstance : $db_inst\n" >alert.msg
send_alert sgill.dba@gmail.com alert.msg
fi
else 
echo "not found" >>$today_file
print "Error: DB profile could not be found\nDatabase : $db_name\nInstance : $db_inst\n" >alert.msg
send_alert sgill.dba@gmail.com alert.msg
	
fi

Definitely there will be numerous others that may fail when my script goes in client's hands.

This way I cannot handle the error effectively. I need the the script to continue even after the command fails.

Thanks for the response anyways.

Have you considered sub contracting. <raises hand>

Funny ! I was thinking of sub scripting !! my bad.

For sub contracting you have to quote ; how much ; then I may think about it. May be I transfer whole thing if good quote or none.
