Found a conditional in the ksh man pages.
 
#!/bin/ksh
LOCALDRV=/home/users/mfg/xxbusint1; export LOCALDRV
NFSDRV=/home/whlzdev/xxbusint1; export NFSDRV
 
cd $LOCALDRV

if [ -d $NFSDRV]
    then
        cd $NFSDRV
    else
        echo "failover mode, no NFS, writing locally"
fi
exec /someexecutable

Best Regards, Blake

Subject: ksh script question

Hello Admins,
 
trying to have a script that will write to a NFS mounted drive, but will
write to a local drive if the NFS mounted one is not available. Trying
this with a cd to the local drive 1st, then a cd to the NFS mounted one
2nd.
 
#!/bin/ksh
LOCALDRV=/home/users/mfg/xxbusint1; export LOCALDRV
NFSDRV=/home/whlzdev/xxbusint1; export NFSDRV
 
cd $LOCALDRV; sleep 1
cd $NFSDRV
 
exec /someexecutable
 
When either the Local or NFS drives aren't there, the 'cd' command
returns an error value of >0 and exits the shell script.
 
Any suggestions?
