We had to install jetforms in an AIX machine, for development purposes, but didn\u2019t have a license\u2026
\nFiguring out it receives jobs and outputs pdfs in directories, well, we can just copy the jobs to a remote server
\nand retrieve the pdfs too.
\nThe forms should also be placed somewhere to be replicated.
\nSo we installed jetforms in a remote solaris machine, and wrote some daemon scripts in the AIX, to do the
\njob, form and result transfer.
\nThe core of it all is \/scripts\/jf.ksh, a set of 3 daemons written in one script:
\n# cat \/scripts\/jf.ksh
\n#!\/bin\/ksh
\necho \u201c`date` starting\u2026\u201d
\n(while true;do
\n(for file in \/usr\/local\/adobe\/central\/server\/data\/*.dat;do
\necho \u201c`date`: COPYING: $file TO REMOTE\u201d
\n273\/433
\nrcp $file wasdesa2:\/usr\/local\/adobe\/central\/server\/data
\nrm $file
\ndone) >\/dev\/null 2>&1
\nsleep 4;
\ndone ) &
\n(while true;do
\n(for file in `find \/usr\/local\/adobe\/central\/server\/etc\/exprint\/forms -type f -mtime -1`;do
\necho \u201c`date`: COPYING: $file TO REMOTE\u201d
\nrcp $file wasdesa2:\/usr\/local\/adobe\/central\/server\/etc\/exprint\/forms
\ndone) >\/dev\/null 2>&1
\nsleep 15;
\ndone ) &
\n(while true;do
\nfor file in `rsh wasdesa2 \u201cfind \/usr\/local\/adobe\/central\/server\/data -type f -mtime -100| grep -i pdf\u201d`;do
\nif [ ! -f $file ];then
\necho \u201c`date`: COPYING: $file FROM REMOTE\u201d
\nrcp wasdesa2:$file \/usr\/local\/adobe\/central\/server\/data
\nfi
\ndone
\nsleep 4;
\ndone ) &
\nThe enclosed parentheses do the forking magic. We are using \/.rhosts loose security for this, maybe we\u2019ll use
\nkeys on ssh later.
\nTo keep the party going on and on, we wrote a \u201cstart\u201d script
\n# cat \/scripts\/jetstart.ksh
\n#!\/bin\/ksh
\nP=`ps -ef | grep jf.ksh|grep -iv grep|wc -l`
\nif [ $P -eq 0 ];then
\necho \u201cjf is not running, starting..\u201d
\n\/scripts\/jf.ksh > \/scripts\/jf.log &
\necho \u201cstarted\u201d
\nfi
\nWe also wrote a \u201cstop\u201d script:
\n# cat \/scripts\/jetstart.ksh
\n#!\/bin\/ksh
\nP=`ps -ef | grep jf.ksh|grep -iv grep|wc -l`
\nif [ $P -eq 0 ];then
\necho \u201cjf is not running, starting..\u201d
\n\/scripts\/jf.ksh > \/scripts\/jf.log &
\necho \u201cstarted\u201d
\nfi
\nAnd added a cron entry to keep it goin\u2019
\n0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55
