I've been having the same problem with my script that takes the pipe file and puts it into Oracle (using sqlplus). It starts, but eventually dies. I may just change and use cron, instead of an ever-running service. Shane On 6/13/05, Metal Gear <finattack@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi, i m using a script which logs certain alerts to mysql db. It mostly wotks fine but sometimes i see that i m not getting the alerts into mysql db i have to then manually start the service. I m using the following code for the above mentioned purpose which is being taken from http://www.vermeer.org/display_doc.php?doc_id=1#scripts. I m getting the logs in flat files but none in the mysql db.
Thanks
