How to write a unix condition

Hi

How to configure a condition to execute a sequence task only when there are rows in a file.

How to write a condition to execute a sequence task either when there are warning messages or when there are no warning messages in the preceding task.

Couple of options. You can execute the UNIX command "test -s" which returns true if the file exists and has a size greater than zero. You could then "not" that or handle that appropriately in your triggers, such that only an empty / zero byte file triggers the next process.

You could also use a generic routine that leverages the DSGetLinkInfo function with the DSJ.LINKROWCOUNT InfoType to check whatever link in the job is responsible for writing to that file to see if records went down that link. Provided, of course, there is a job creating the file.

You do NOT edit your post to remove the original questions.

The same as it means in football (soccer) and many other sports. Do it again and there will be some form of sanction imposed.

Why in the hell do something like that?

As to the filename question:

I wish admin to edit the question(to get back the previous post) and warn the user.

The edit permissions should be taken off for the Questions after the Question gets replies, to avoid these kind of situations.

I disagree. Sometimes it is needful to go back to correct spelling and so forth.

What really should happen is that pradkumar should re-edit the original post and reinstate the questions that ought never to have been removed, and apologize.

Otherwise we may have to start using pratkumar as his appellation.

Is that some mountain range on the east coast?

Apparently, more like the small mountain range you sit on.
