I am trying to capture the total run time of a script which contains SQL's by providing date command in top & bottom, it displaying both the times same in top & bottom.However the time in the sql connection is different.Please help.
OS - LINUX
Shell - ksh
printf "Script Started at $date" >> $LOGFILE
sqlplus userid/pwd test1.sql
.
.
.
sqlplus userid/pwd testn.sql
printf "Script Ended at $date" >> $LOGFILE
It seems you're storing the date in a variable somewhere in your script which is fine, however, if you need a start and end date then you will need to store the date command again.
$date=$(date)
printf "Script Started at $date" >> $LOGFILE
sqlplus userid/pwd test1.sql
.
.
.
sqlplus userid/pwd testn.sql
$date=$(date)
printf "Script Ended at $date" >> $LOGFILE
