bahoo staggered into the Black Sun and said:
Hi, I'd like to send myself an email once a particular process ends.
I know the PID, and it usually runs for several hours, so I'd like to
know when it finishes. Is it possible to write a script to do that?
# PID=whatever pid you want to watch
while [ -e /proc/$PID ] ; do
sleep 30 # change to 15 or 60 or whatever
done
echo "Process done" | mail -s "process finished" someone@xxxxxxxxxxx
# there are multiple ways to do this; this is one way. This doesn't do
# any error handling or check the process's return status. It might
# fail miserably if the machine's being used by tons of people. HTH,
