I am currious...is there a reason why pgrep wouldn't work as i'd expect on
opensolars?
I come from FreeBSD and i usually use pgrep to check if a process is running
for a script.
For instance, i have a script which i use to check if rsync is running, if it
isn't running, then it will rsync, if it is, then it should skip rsync. I put
this in crontab for every 15 minutes.
On FreeBSD this works fine, on OpenSolaris it doesn't seem to be working.
any idea why this should be?
When i try to run this script manually, and it is already running, it works
exactly as expected.
anyways, this is the script (i've changed some stuff but you should be able to
get the idea)
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
SERVICE='rsync'
REMOTE='wonsl...@xxx.xxxx.xxx:/home/xxxxxx/xxxxx/'
LOCAL='/tank/nas/dump/'
LOG='/export/home/wonslung/log/rsync.log'
if pgrep -u $USER $SERVICE
then
echo "$SERVICE is running, skipping"
else
$SERVICE -ave ssh --delete $REMOTE $LOCAL >>$LOG
fi
--
