Manage cronjobs with VCS Application

February 18th, 2008 by admin

Here is how I fail over application account cronjobs using VCS.
Application Appx_cronjobs
(
Critical = 0ff
StartProgram = “/usr/bin/su - appxusr -c “touch ./crontab.LAST”"
StopProgram = “/usr/bin/su - appxusr -c “/usr/bin/rm -f ./crontab.LAST”"
CleanProgram = “/usr/bin/su - appxusr -c “/usr/bin/rm -f ./crontab.LAST”"
MonitorProgram = “/usr/bin/su appsusr -c /etc/VRTSvcs/utils/vcs_cron_monitor.sh” )

# vcs_cron_monitor.sh Script.
#!/bin/ksh
ME=`/usr/ucb/whoami` MYHOME=`echo ~${ME}` MYHOST=`uname -n`
if [ “${MYHOME}xx” = “xx” ] then exit 100 fi
if [ ! -d $MYHOME -o ! -f $MYHOME/crontab.LAST ]; then exit 100 fi
SAVEHOST=`cat $MYHOME/crontab.LAST` if [ $SAVEHOST != $MYHOST ] then crontab $MYHOME/crontab.bak fi
echo $MYHOST > $MYHOME/crontab.LAST crontab -l > $MYHOME/crontab.bak
exit 110
