how to write a code using shell scripting to refire a back up job if it fails with an error code of 196?

2

what do you need exactly??

is it that you need to restart the backup job when it fails with error 196?

try this

BACKUPJOB <ARGS if needed>
rc=$?
while [ $rc -eq 196 ]
do
echo "restarting the job"
BACKUPJOB
rc=$?
echo $rc
done

well in netbackup whenever a job fails coz of error 196 then it is coz of lack of resources so i want it should keep reifiring until the job gets done...............

You can create function something like this [not tested]

#!/bin/bash

function BACKUP(){
                   echo "Here my Backup scripts goes"
                 }
while [ "$?" -eq "196" ]; do
    BACKUP
done

akshay we don't require commands like bpbackup etc etc etc?

@Pawan: We do not fulfill your requirements here. rather, we shall help to achieve them.

What do you mean by your last post? If you are not sure of how to run a script, I'd better say to take tutorials on Shell scripting.
