bpstart_notify & bpend_notify for Unix & Linux

I have a Windows master server but also have some Unix clients I want to execute the bpstart_notifiy and bpend_notifiy scripts. Unfortunately I don't have copies of the shell scripts on my master server because it is Windows and it only has copies of the .bat/cmd files.

Coould some kind soul post copies of the vanilla bpstart_notify and bpend_notify Unix shell scripts please? I'd like to avoid completely re-inventing the wheel!

 

Thanks

    Thanks for that, but I know how to use the scripts, I just want copies of the scripts for Unix, not Windows. Neither of those links is helpful in that regard.

    How to execute custom scripts from bpstart_notify and bpend_notify

     

    Solution



    For UNIX:
    Look for the following lines in your bpstart_notify andbpend_notify scripts and add the absolute path of custom script file as shown below.
     
    <SNIP>
    # --------------------------------------------------------------------
    # main script starts here
    # --------------------------------------------------------------------
    /<custom_script_directory>/custom_script         <---- Add this line, absolute path to your script
    umask 022
    if [ "$#" -ne 5 ]
    then
           exit 1
    fi
    </SNIP>
