Re: Mksysb Script

I have this script:


#!/bin/sh
#
#
# Purpose - mksysb script
# Author - Dave Zarnoch
# Date - 05/12/2005
# Modified -
# Modified -
# SRC - provtsm:/home/root/mksysb.sh
#
# Variables
#
DATE=$(date "+%a %b %e")
DRIVE=/dev/rmt0
log=/var/adm/mksysb.log
$log
hostname=`hostname`
MAILERS='davezarn@xxxxxxxxxxx'
#
#Main
#
echo `date`: Starting mksysb on $hostname >>$log
echo >>$log
mksysb -i -e $DRIVE -V >>$log 2>>$log
RC1=$?
if [ $RC1 -eq 0 ]; then
echo "\t"mksysb RC is $RC1 >>$log
else
echo "\t"mksysb RC is $RC1 >>$log
echo "\t"Error running mksysb of rootvg. Aborting! >>$log
mail -s "mksysb backup errors running $hostname mksysb.sh script" $MAILERS <$log
echo `date`: EXITING script >>$log
tctl -f $DRIVE offline
exit 15
fi
tctl -f $DRIVE offline
echo `date`: Finished mksysb on $hostname >>$log
mail -s "mksysb completed successfully on $hostname" $MAILERS <$log


I then put it into cron:

0 5 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/mksysb.sh >/dev/null 2>&1


Hope this helps.

Hi Aix'ers
Did anyone write a script for mksysb and does some logging of date/time
maybe a list of files that can share it with others? We are running
aix 5.3on P520's and P570's.
Thanks in advance,
Vince
