Re: [staf-users] Cron question

Yes, one way to do this is to write a small shell script or bat file (or 
Python/Perl/Tcl etc script/program) that does the following:
1) Submits your 6-8 PROCESS START requests using the WAIT option so that 
the PROCESS START request does not complete until the command it runs 
completes.  Submit the PROCESS START WAIT requests in the order you want 
the commands run.
2) Submits a FS COPY FILE request to get the output (or if you preferred, 
you could submit a SEND request to the EMAIL service to notify you to do 
the copy manually.

Then, you would register to run that single program via the CRON service 
(instead of registering multiple PROCESS START request(s) for each process 
via the CRON service).

[staf-users] Cron question






Hi All,
 
I am in the process of setting up a small STAF install. I want to run 6-8 
processes through the framework using the cron service. Is there a way to 
know when the process ends, so I can issue a copy file to get the output?
 
Thanks
 
 Glenn
