automated process

[nganju]

Hello-
I am running on a dual-processor Linux desktop, and I want to have a simple shell script command that recognizes when the oceanO process ends, and invokes a command to start another run. I am not very familiar with linux-type commands, so any help is appreciated, thanks in advance...

To run several command in sequence do

Code: Select all

./FirstCommand && ./SecondCommand && ./ThirdCommand

The advantage is that if an error occurs, then all stops.

When things become more complicate, you create a file, say, ListComm

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
./firstCommand
./SecondCommand

you put it as executable with

Code: Select all

chmod +x ListComm

and you execute it by

Code: Select all

./ListComm

Then if you want to run things in the background you can use screen
but screen is not systematically installed and it needs root rights to be installed.
