Get Job Status from Command Line

[badhri]

Greetings:

I am trying to get the status of the jobs from the Command line and help monitor the jobs without using DS Director.

For this i just loop through all the jobs and run dsjob to get the log details and spool into a text. Then parse this text to derive the required info. This whole process is very consuming (say 2sec/job).

Is there any Universe table/VOC Entry that i can use to derive this quick.

Thanks in Advance.

Not from the UniVerse command line, unless you know the internal structure in the Repository where status is recorded (it's based on a concept of "resources" - active stages that run in separate processes are also "resources").

You can, however, use the dsjob command from the operating system command line. The -jobinfo option reports job status among other things.

Code: Select all

dsjob -user userid -password password -jobinfo projectname jobname

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your input. I tried this dsjob and get the update. But everytime someone wants to know the status of the jobs i need to run this dsjob command for all the jobs which is very time consuming. Is there anyway i can erive the status of the all the jobs in one go?

Nothing that's supplied.

You could write your own wrapper to dsjob. For example:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
project=myproject   # name of your project
for jobname in `dsjob -ljobs $project`
do
   jstatus=`dsjob -jobinfo $project $jobname| grep "Job Status" | cut -d: -f2`
   echo $jobname: $jstatus
done
