DSJOB command in UNIX

ketfos · Post by **ketfos** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 11:54 am

Hi,
I am trying to find list of all the jobs in the current project using dsjob command on UNIX

dsjob -server hp113 -user ksstage -password kspass -projects dev -jobs

I am getting the error message Status code = -9999 DSJE_DSJOB_ERROR

Can somebody let me know the exact syntax.
I tried using Search Forum but could not get it running using the syntax/help availabe in it.

Thanks
Ketfos

There's no -project, it's -ljobs and if you are on the same box as the server it's even easier:

Code: Select all

dsjob -ljobs dev

If you issue the command without arguments, it will dump out a normal 'usage' type message.

Hi,
There is a job that runs between 1-2Am and that is our backup window time. Is there a way to find out which job it i s?

Have looked carefully in the director and there is none scheduled to run or jobs that spill over to 1AM.
Thanks,

Hi Chulett,
There are multipe projects on the Unix box.
When I issue the command you gave
it gave me an error message

dsjob -ljobs dev

Status code = -1002

As do I and it works fine for me - and I assumed that dev was one of your project names, is it?

If you need to, try it with the server / userid / password keywords as well.

Hi vinaymanchinila,

If your DS Server is Unix, there should be an entry in crontab for this scheduled job.
So look up in Unix using crontab -l.

It will ahve a entry for this job if it is scheduled.

Schedule a ps -ef | grep ds | grep -v grep > /tmp/what_is_the_job command to run at 01:10. Use this to identify the job from its command line.

In addition to the other advice, note that the Director only shows schedule information if the jobs have been scheduled by whomever you are currently logged in as.

If you have multiple userids scheduling jobs, each has their own crontab in UNIX. If you are not sure who would have scheduled it then Ray's suggestion is user agnostic and should capture a picture of the trespasser.

Hi Naveen,
Yes your command works and thanks so much.
I need one more thing.
How do I get log information for a job named 'testjob' under this project using dsjob command on Unix prompt.
