sdbsh

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This command is useful in the following cases;

1. You want to move all scn files which are entried in the sdb with the good flag.
2. You want to check the file size for all scn files which are entried in the sdb with the good flag.
3. You want to remove all scn files which are entried in the sdb with the bad flag.

   These function can be done by the following way;

   sdbload abc | sdbsh -cmd 'mv $scn backup'
   sdbload abc | sdbsh -cmd 'ls -l $scn'
   sdbload abc | sdbsh -do bad -cmd 'rm $scn'
   

   FILTER TYPE

   .sdb | sdbsh ( | .sdb )

   OPTIONS

   -pipe | - | -nopipe

   The keywords -pipe or - gives the .sdb flow for the following processes. The keyword -nopipe gives nothing for the following process.

   -do good | bad

   The shell command is done only for scn with the good/bad flag.

   -cmd shell_command

   Shell command you want to do. The strings are interpreted by the shell just before the actual action, although your inline command itself is interpreted by your shell before then. You should use the escape charater and/or quotation characters. See UNIX/Linux shell command instruction in detail.

   In the shell command stript you can use a string for replacement by scn filename. (The default string is $scn). The replacement string can be written only one in the shell_command. If no replacement string in the shell_command, it is assumed to be attached at the end of the shell_command.

   Only if the shell_command is the last option parameter, you can reduce key touching for "-cmd"

   -var_string scn_string

   The replacement string can be changed by using this option.

   DEFAULTS

   -nopipe -do good -var_string \$scn -prm sdbsh.prm

   BUGS

   • The replacement stirng "$scn" is simply replaced by the filename. Therefore "$scnx" is interpreted as "$scn" and x.
   • No symantec check is applied for the shell_command. If you put more replacement strings over the limit, I do not know what will happen on your files.
   • The replacement strings will be replaced by full filename for scn entry which is attached by proper enveronment parameters and extensions. Not the simple characters in the sdb entry.
