Hello world! This is it. I've always wanted to blog. I don't want no fame but just to let myself heard. No! Just to express myself. So, I don't really care if someone believes in what I'm going to write here nor if ever someone gets interested reading it. My blogs may be a novel-like, a one-liner, it doesn't matter. Still, I'm willing to listen to your views, as long as it justifies mine... Well, enjoy your stay, and I hope you'll learn something new because I just did and sharing it with you.. Welcome!

Solaris Cheat Sheet: Episode 1

Yellow everyone! Guess who's back?!? Who?? No one..

It's been a very long time since that day [whatever it is]. I've been busy lately [honestly, I'm tired blogging] so why not drop by and post something that's already there. As always, these are for my reference. You can take whatever you could and encouraged to share some. By the way, I just finished reading Hajime No Ippo and looking forward for Takamura-san's fight. As you know, Ichiro-kun just won his OPBF title defense against Randy Boy Jr. [Philippines; and it's a lame name - sorry!]. But the question is, will Ippo vs. Ichiro really materialize? Can't wait either.

Ooops.. got carried away but after reading the above, I came across a good, known site that can really help me. So here it is the first installment of my Solaris cheat sheet! [My other script is on it's way - some refinement, always, and suggestions from my colleagues -.. if you're interested, keep an eye on it ;)]

Veritas NetBackup Tutorial: Changes in bp.conf

Aha! Like a li'l child on his first day in school, I was excited. That's me. When I encounter problems/errors I can't help but get excited looking for solutions, the flame of eagerness to learn. Of course, these are limited instances. As for today, it will on modifications in bp.conf. A good friend asked me if changes be made on the config file needs to re-read them. Since I am NOT familiar with this nor had the experience, I provided no answer [sorry but, my shift is up and just want to go home, ha ha]. But, this doesn't mean that I'll just lay down and die. Not me! When I got home, I searched for the solution. I even asked taqadus from his blog for some advise [Thank you!]. And my conviction is final when I got into forums and been reading suggestions/solutions the same over and over again. Plus documentation from Symantec and part of which reads:

...
Note: This command will only detect and incorporate some bp.conf configuration changes. Many NetBackup configuration changes, such as adding or changing a SERVER entry, require a complete stop and start of the NetBackup daemons. If the bp.conf configuration change does not take effect, then the NetBackup daemons must be restarted. To do so, when no backups or restores are running, execute the commands:

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup stop

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/netbackup start

Scripting 101: Purging Files

Ei-lo! 'Zup? I'm beginning to enjoy this I guess: scripting. Unexpected, I got a ping from a former colleague, asking from a noobs [read: me] regarding scripting. Without blinking, I accepted the challenge. I was asked to check on the script she made for purging files. After checking on the requirements, given, and asking for advise from a scripting guru [Morsgang Freeman], below are the revised forms. Btw, the first one I made really sucks [I hope these won't :(]. As of writing, these are not tested, not 'til tomorrow when she receives the email/script.

1. First is to create a file, say SUBDIR.txt with the ff. contents:


MERGE/REJECTS/ARCHIVE

MERGE/REJECTS/ARCHIVERAW

MERGE/FILTERED/ARCHIVE

MERGE/FILTERED/ARCHIVERAW

INSERT/REJECTS/INSERTED

INSERT/FILTERED/INSERTED

FTP/FTP_ARCHIVE


2. I made two variations of the script:
a. Version 1

#!/bin/bash

export LOGDIR=/ramsys_data/bmcps/ramsys/
export DIRLIST="ALTL AMA5 CAMA FREE NRTL SEGR UTSS"

for XXX in DIRLIST
do
cd $LOGDIR
if [ "$PWD" = "$LOGDIR" ]
then
for PURDIR in `cat SUBDIR.txt`
do

If this will be run in cron, e.g. everyday at 0100H, we can make it as:

0 1 * * * ( scriptname_here.sh > /if_wanted/can/store/to/logfile 2>&1 ) &

Or throw it to /dev/null. Whatever suits you.

Scripting 101: Monitor Long-running Autosys Jobs

HELLo World! It's been sometime since I made a "working" script. The last time I remember I created is about 2 years ago [I guess]. I lost interest in programming for a while for some work-related reason and just had this renewed interest a few weeks back. Without much a-doo, here it is: [Sorry 'bout the format, I'm not in the mood to edit it - for now]


#!/bin/bash
### Calls some environment settings to use Autosys

. /sbcimp/shared/config/CA/Autosys/v4.0/prod/autouser/shellPLN


### Declaration of VARIABLES

declare -i SKIPTIME
declare -i NOMIN
declare -i NOSEC

ERRLOG=/home/$USER/Err.log

E_NOTFOUND=66


### Prompts the user for INPUTS

read -p "Enter the Job Name: " JOBNAME

read -p "Enter the time interval between display (in seconds): " SKIPTIME


### Check to make sure "interval" is integer; don't know what else to
do...
if [ $SKIPTIME -le "0" ]
then
echo "Make sure time interval is greater than zero or a number."
exit 1
fi

### This part acts as catch for INVALID Jobs
CHKINVJOB=`autorep -J $JOBNAME`
echo $CHKINVJOB > $ERRLOG

if [ ! -f $ERRLOG ]
then
echo "Error log file does not exist! Check write permissions on the directory."
exit $E_NOTFOUND
exit 1
fi

more $ERRLOG | grep Invalid
if [ $? == "0" ]
then
more $ERRLOG
echo "--- Clearing $ERRLOG ... ---"
cat /dev/null > $ERRLOG
exit 1
fi

### This part checks for the status of the Job
while true
do
autorep -J $JOBNAME | sed -n '5p' | grep -w SU > /dev/null
if [ $? == "0" ]
then
clear
echo "---- Feed Status ----"
echo
echo "***** Job ended SU-ccessfully! *****"
autorep -J $JOBNAME
echo "---- End of Status ----"
exit 0
elif [ $? == "1" ]
then
autorep -J $JOBNAME | sed -n '5p' | egrep -w "ST|AC|RU" > /dev/null
if [ $? == "0" ]
then
if [ "$SKIPTIME" -gt "60" ]
then
NOMIN=`expr $SKIPTIME / 60`
NOSEC=`expr $SKIPTIME % 60`
clear
echo "---- Feed Status ----"
echo "It is still processing... will report in approx. $NOMIN minutes and $NOSEC seconds."
sleep $SKIPTIME
autorep -J $JOBNAME | sed -n '5p'
echo "---- End of Status ----"
else
clear
echo "---- Feed Status ----"
echo "It is still processing... will report in approx. $SKIPTIME seconds."
sleep $SKIPTIME
autorep -J $JOBNAME | sed -n '5p'
echo "---- End of Status ----"
fi
else
clear
echo "---- Feed Status ----"
echo "Check for any ERROR."
autorep -J $JOBNAME
echo "---- End of Status ----"
exit 1
fi
fi
done

exit 0
