| Guest | execute command on remote system i have a script that does a db backup and then copies itself over to another system when it gets to that system i'd like to run a db check on the file to verify it moved successfully. i cant run the db check from the DB server because it will basically pull all the data back over so basically i'd like to run one script on the DB server that does the backup and pushes it off and then another script one the backup server that verifies the file copied correctly. so basically how can i make the script on the backup server run as soon as the script on the db server finishes? Thanks Justin |

What I'm thinking is that script would create a temporary lock file when starting, then delete it when done. The script from the backup server will then loop for seconds, minutes, hours depending on how long the script usually takes, and will check for that temporary lock file. When the lock file is gone, then the script runs whatever checks it needs to do. Then you can also use that to watch for the lock file, and if the lock file remains for too long, something might be locked up/running away. That's if I'm following you properly...

| Guest | Re: execute command on remote system you are, but i just had another idea that popped in to my head as i was looking at a schedule task i have. I think i can easily use AT or schtasks to create a remote job and just grab the time and add 5 min to it and schedule the task for then. that way im not constantly probing the server. Also once the script on the backup server completes i can have it delete the task. havent tried it yet since i just thought of it, but i suspect it should work well.
