A sample C shell maintenance script

Next, the script invokes an isql backup script for each database for which no
2500-level errors occurred and adds the “Backing up database_name” line to
dbcc_mail.out. For example, the script
master.backup backs up the master
database:
use master
go
dump database master to master_dump
go
You may want to add appropriate dump transaction commands to your scripts.
If there are 2500-level error messages, the script does not back up the database.
At the end of the script, dbcc_mail.out is mailed to the System Administrator
“jjones,” who then has a record of fatal
dbcc errors and successful backups.
You can tailor the sample shell and isql scripts to suit the needs of your
installation.
To have the scripts execute automatically, edit the crontab file, and add an entry
similar to this:
00 02 * * * /usr/u/sybase/dbcc_ck 2>&1
This example executes a C shell script called dbcc_ck every morning at 2:00
