Running all jobs in a project from command line

Hi All,

I'm unable to search the forum. So I'm posting it.

How can all the jobs in a project be ran from command line. Can dsjob or dsadmin commands do it?

Thanks,
Sumesh

Yes, jobs can be run form command line using the command

dsjobs -run option.

You could write a shell script that calls the run command and repalces the job name with a new one everytime it runs.

Hi Sonal,
Thanks for the reply.

Do u mean to say that other than writing a shell script, no direct commands are available?

In what order do you want to run them?

There is no command like dsjob -run * if that's what you're looking for. But you could do something like

Code: Select all

for j in `dsjob -ljobs project`
do
   dsjob -run -jobstatus options project ${j}
done

(all on one line if desired). Of course you will have no control over the order of execution (probably alphabetical order!).

Ray's solution will work for you if the answer to his question is, "It does'nt matter", which is rarely the case.
Build a file which has all the job names in the order in which they need to be run. Cat the file, read it one by one and pass it to the dsjob -run command.
