RE: Unix Cron job help

[John Carlson]

If you use "whenever sqlerror exit 9", then you can test the return code for either "0" or "9" just as you described. ( You can use any number you choose, 9 is just an example. )   HTH John Carlson http://www.cj.com >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/27/01 06:46AM >>> Can you send me shell script you are using.The success status from unix shell when it is executing sqlplus or svrmgrl will always be ZERO.So you can't simply say  if [ $? -eq 0 ] or something like that.The success depends on inner oracle processes.That won't give you exit status to shell So you please send me the script.I'll see what i can do Cheers GANTI -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author:   INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services    -- (858) 538-5051  FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California        -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).  You may also send the HELP command for other information (like subscribing).
