Autosys adding global variable in a jil

UNIX for Beginners Q & A
1

I have created two jil files name AY.jil and PY.jil. I have three issues which are as follows:

  1. how do you add a global variable value from a shell script program to a jil
    file?

  2. PY.jil needs to check every five minutes on the completion of the AY.jil
    jobs and AY.jil needs to check every five minutes on the completion of the
    PJ.jil jobs.

  3. How do you setup the watch_file in each jil to check every five minutes?

  4. How do you set up the success command for the file dependency?

I am getting this error :

I am only interested in reading in the global variable value 2 in PJ.jil:
sendevent -E SET_GLOBAL -G "DIFF_VALUE=2"

Here is part of my shell script program:


while read DIFF_VALUE FLAG
do
	
	if [ "${DIFF_VALUE}" -ge "2" -a "${FLAG}" = "Y" ]
	then
		
		sendevent -E SET_GLOBAL -G "DIFF_VALUE=2"
		
	elif [ "${DIFF_VALUE}" -lt "1" -a "${FLAG}" = "N" ]
	then		
	        sendevent -E SET_GLOBAL -G "DIFF_VALUE="
	
	fi
done < ${DIFF_FILE}

Here are my jil progams (AY.jil and PY.jil):

Insert PJ_job: cmd_job
job_type: CMD
command: /path/to/script/script.sh  DIFF_VALUE=$${DIFF_VALUE=2}
watch_file: /path/to/script/AY.jil
watch_interval: time_in_mins
machine: machine_name
owner: user_name
condition: s(/path/to/AY.jil)

Insert AY_job: cmd_job
job_type: CMD
watch_file: /path/to/script/PJ.jil
watch_interval: time_in_mins
machine: machine_name
owner: user_name
condition: s(/path/to/PJ.jil)
