Then code job 'B' to remove the file as the first step or exit if not there. -----Original Message----- From: David Jones [SMTP:djones1688@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 1:00 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Unix Cron job help Dear Lister: I have two cron jobs which run at 10:30 PM & 2:00 AM, job A performed a DB hot backup and job B will put those backup files into tapes. The problem is job B is based on the success completion of job A. How can I write the unix script for job B to do this check ? Please help. T.I.A.
