bash scripting help needed...

[linlo68]

Hello,

Here's what I'm trying to do... any help that I can get is greatly appreciated.

I have a Red Hat 5 server the hosts a Hyperion installation. I'm trying to automate the process of stopping and starting all of the Hyperion services. I have completed the shutdown process and have no problems with that. The startup process is however giving me a real hard time.

Basicaly I have 13 individual scripts that need to be started in a particular order. To keep this simple I refer to them as script1.sh, script2.sh script3.sh... you get the picture.

- All scripts need to be started by User1.
- All scripts must be run as a background process, so that when User1 logs out the process continues to run.
- Script1.sh is started. Script2.sh can not start until script1.sh has finished... Which is where I'm having trouble...

I have tired the following:

I created a master start script called Start_all.sh. In this script I source my environment and then call each script in order as follows:

. /home/user1/script1.sh &
wait
. /home/user1/script2.sh &
wait
. /home/user1/script3.sh &
and so on....

The issue that I'm having with this is the wait does just that... it never moves to script2.sh.

I know that there is a way that you can string commands together but the keep here is I don't want the second script to start until the first script has done its job by starting the processes needed.

Any help that can be provided will be greatly appreciated. If you need more info please let me know.

what shell our you calling for your script
I've seen the ampersands on a couple of internet sources either before or after the "wait" command, not sure what shell those are for, I don't use them in bash.

I have resolved this issue on my own. Here's what I came up with in the event that others out there are looking to do the same thing. I'm sure there are better ways to do this... but I spent most of the weekend testing this script and it is working very well compared to what we had in place before:

#!/bin/bash
