Prev: Error appears only when running "source scriptName" for a simple script - why ?

From: amerar@iwc.net on 18 Sep 2006 10:21 Hi Everyone, We have a script that does a bunch of system & database checking. It runs for more than 100 databases, so it runs for like 10 hours........ Anyhow, the account times out all the time, and the script never finishes. I've been trying to read on some way to simulate a keypress about every 15 minutes. We do not have EXPECT, and I've seen a lot of references to TIOCSTI. Can someone tell me what that is and how I can use it in my script? We're running ksh93 on AIX..... Thanks!
