Re: Run command on sqlplus repetitively without reconnection

David,

You should try with 'print -p exit' instead of 'print -f exit' inside the
trap.  The 'print -p exit' command will send the SQL*Plus command EXIT to
the co-process when you press Ctrl-C.  In this way, you could gracefully
exit from SQL*Plus instead of killing your session.

Thanks,

Senthil.

Senthil,

Unfortunately the sqlplus session was still running in the background when
I tried the 'print -f exit' inside the trap.  However, that got
me rethinking the problem.  What worked was the the following:

trap 'kill %2;kill %1;exit' 1 2 3 15

I realized that I had two background jobs running, the sqlplus session and
the first while loop containing the SQL.  So the trick was to kill the first
while loop (%2), then the sqlplus (%1) and finally exit the second while
loop.  No errors now when I Ctl-C and no background processes left running.

Thanks for your feedback, it did help.

David
