Waiting time for a script
 

Dear Friend ,

I have a Linux server with Oracle . I have a oracle script which starts during startup of the server .When Linux server is up then all the scripts of Oracle are also startup .But I have some problem with this startup script because another some services are included this scripts .

Now , I want a situation where my Oracle script runs after 2/3 minutes later from the server startup , i.e., after booting my Linux server my oracle script is not running that moment , script run after few moments from the startup of the server .


Can anyone plz help me ... ...

How about adding a line like this.
ping -c100 127.0.0.1 > /dev/null

I believe there is a wait command or something similar that allows you to pause the line in the script for so many seconds.

If the 'at' service is running and your user account has been cleared to use 'at' then putting this line in /etc/rc.d/rc/local or equivalent: 'echo /etc/rc.d/init.d/oracle start | at now + 3 minutes' should do. If you don't run 'at' then try 'sleep 3m; exec /etc/rc.d/init.d/oracle start'.

I usually use sleep when i need to pause a script, but only because i haven't looked into at.
