I am trying to set up a backup script to be called for various DBs in the
DB server through crontab. If an instance of the script is running for the
GIVEN oracle_sid I dont want another instance of the backup script to be
started. However, if an instance of the script is running for a different
oraclesid, I am ok with starting a new instance run of the script. Linux
RHES7, bash.
I tried using grep, grep -v $$, pgrep, etc inside the script and also tried
pgrep in crontab, not lucky. Web searching has not led me anywhere so far.
Any short and sweet solution for this issue?
Thanks,
venky.
