    OK, seems to work :

     

    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -x |grep bpjobd >/dev/null 2>&1
    if [[ $(echo $?) -ne 0 ]] then
    nohup /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpjobd &
    fi
     
    Please give that a go and report back.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the script, Could you explain me few things because when I tried to use my logic and run the command with nohup it doesn't work.

nohup: appending output to `nohup.out' (this is what it says when I run your script and command prompt stays there is this normal or will it effect when it runs through crontab)

My script finds out if bpjobd is running or not and then it uses

nohup /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpjobd &

 

But it doesn't work can you explain please.

 

Thanks

Sid
