No, he was right, the script goes on when the DB backup is ended. But when the DB backup is ready, it starts to dismount the tape. It doesn't wait until it's dismounted.
I think a sleep command is usefull in many scripts.... I make the scripts in AIX, there i've got more options and can make if/then's etc. Regards, Maurice ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Stapleton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 10:55 PM Subject: Re: Delay on script On Fri, 16 Nov 2001 10:45:18 +0200, it was written: >I wrote a script to make a Database Snapshot (with wait=yes) and a checkout >of this tape.

The wait=yes should guarantee that the dbs run should finish before it goes to the next step in the batch file. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
