Script being used is shown below,

#!/bin/bash
ps auxw | grep ESDEMO | grep -v grep > /dev/null
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
casstart
echo "service was not running and has been restarted"
else
echo "service is running on $(hostname) as on $(date)"
fi
====================================================================

On executing this script to restart ESDEMO, I am getting the error - "/opt/microfocus/cobol/bin/casstart32: error while loading shared libraries: libcasmfsysv.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

Verified PATH Environment variable.
"/opt/microfocus/cobol/bin" is set correctly.

Verified LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/microfocus/cobol/lib


At the same time, I am able to start the service manually in putty just by giving casstart + Enter.
But getting the above mentioned error while executing using the script.

Please help in resolving this issue at the earliest.

Normally in startup scripts it is better to provide the full path as depending on where and when the script gets executed, some items / variables may not be available.

Hi Grail,

Thanks for the response. I tried giving full path and placed the script in the /root path.
Now on executing ./xx.sh from root path, the service is getting restarted as expected.
But on using root crontab, restart is not working.

crontab -l
*/5 * * * * /root/xx.sh

xx.sh:
#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/microfocus/cobol/lib
ps auxw | grep ESDEMO | grep -v grep > /dev/null
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
cd /opt/microfocus/cobol/bin
./casstart
echo "service was not running and has been restarted"
else
echo "service is running on $(hostname) as on $(date)"
fi

Please help on this.


The error that I am getting is:
CASMG99999E 0000,Message file missing. 12:15:01
CASMG99999E CF0038,casstart,ESDEMO,0000 12:15:01

Those would appear to be error messages from the program you are running. I would suggest going to their web site and looking for information as this is not longer an issue with linux
or the way the script is being run .. that I can tell

I would make 2 other suggestions:

1. Look up the pgrep function as it removes the need for multiple greps and the use of ps

2. Just supply the full path to run casstart instead of cd'ing into the directory - - /opt/microfocus/cobol/bin/casstart

It is possible there is a missing environment variable (something like ESDEMO_HOME type of thing) that would point to a message file.
