Hi Guys,
I am not Good at scripting.
I need to write a script such that if output of command shows the particular word in output then send mail to abc@compay.com
-bash-3.2$ ps -ef | grep bpbkar
root 6040 1 0 13:05:19 ? 0:00 bpbkar -r 2678400 -ru root -dt 47395 -to 0 -clnt server1-backup-class server1
root 6707 1 0 13:05:22 ? 0:00 bpbkar -r 2678400 -ru root -dt 47401 -to 0 -clnt server1-backup-class server1
root 6302 1 2 13:05:20 ? 0:07 bpbkar -r 2678400 -ru root -dt 47403 -to 0 -clnt server1-backup-class server1
root 5869 1 1 13:05:19 ? 0:05 bpbkar -r 2678400 -ru root -dt 47393 -to 0 -clnt server1-backup-class server1
root 6493 1 2 13:05:21 ? 0:08 bpbkar -r 2678400 -ru root -dt 47402 -to 0 -clnt server1-backup-class server1
user1 9186 19295 0 13:05:33 pts/22 0:00 grep bpbkar
-bash-3.2$
in above output if the word server1-backup appears in the out put then it should send mail to abc@company.com that the "Server1 backup still running!"
This is Solaris 10 OS.
Please advise.
Thanks,
ps -ef | grep bpbkar | grep server1-backup > output.log
uuencode filename output.log| mailx -s " SUBJECT" -r abc@company.com

Wow! Good info . Let me check.
I guess this how my script should look like
cat check_backup
#!/bin/bash
# Script to check if Server1 backups still running.
if [ `ps -ef | grep bpbkar | nawk '{print gsub(/server1-backup/," ",$0)}'` -eq 1 ]
then
mailx -s "Server1 backup still running!" -r abc@company.com
fi
Hope this will work on Solaris 10 too.
but honestly I cant understand what does this mean --> nawk '{print gsub(/server1-backup/," ",$0)}'` -eq 1 ]
Thanks
gsub replaces all of the longest, leftmost, nonoverlapping matching substrings it can find. The `g' in gsub stands for "global," which means replace everywhere,
So if in your output "server1-backup" word appears it will replace by 1..
so if it equal to 1 means that string is there.
then send mail..

Let me try!
The flags you gave are used only when sending mail.
Usage: mailx -eiIUdFntBNHvV~ -T FILE -u USER -h hops -r address
-s SUBJECT -f FILE users
I got above Error..
Please check with following.As i am not suppose to use mailx command from my server i havent tested it...
#!/bin/bash
# Script to check if Server1 backups still running.
if [ `ps -ef | grep bpbkar | nawk '{print gsub(/server1-backup/," ",$0)}'` -eq 1 ]
then
echo "Server1 backup still running" | mailx -s "Server1 backup still running!" abc@company.com
else
echo "Server1 backup Completed!" | mailx -s "Server1 backup Completed!" abc@company.com
fi
I ALSO used this script I got below Error:-
-bash-3.2$ cat server1-weekly_2nd
#!/bin/bash
# Script to check if SERVER1 Weekly Backups still running at 5 A.M. CET.
if ps -ef | grep server1-backup ; then
mailx -r abc@company.com -s "SERVER1 Weekly Backup still running!"
else
mailx -r abc@company.com -s "SERVER1 Weekly Backup COMPLETED!"
fi
-bash-3.2$
I got below error:-

./server1_weekly_3rd: line 3: [: too many arguments
Got this Error
----------------------
is pgrep would be much simpler? I'm not really sure this if [ ps|grep|nawk ] will work in every possible case.
can you show your shell script server1_weekly_3rd

Update:-
However I have received "Server1 Weekly backup Completed!" message through mail now twice looks like some came from previous execution too.
I am waiting for your valuable reply.
Hi Manali
ps -ef | grep bpbkar | nawk '{print gsub(/server1-backup/," ",$0)}'
is working perfectly fine on my system.
Only diff is i am using
KSH
& you are
BASH
Please check how
gsub
awk function works with bash.
Also check mails systax for bash.

Why can't you create wrapper on your process "bpbkar"
#!/bin/bash
bpbkar -r 2678400 -ru root -dt 47395 -to 0 -clnt server1-backup-class server1 &
pid=$!
echo "Server1 backup started" | mailx -s "Server1 backup started!" abc@company.com
wait $pid
echo "Server1 backup Completed!" | mailx -s "Server1 backup Completed!" abc@company.com
