Looking for a Linux wrapper script
Posted on 2014-03-14
Hello,
This may be difficult but what I'm looking for is a linux shell script that I can use as a wrapper to notify me when something completes. I realize I will have to adjust script to key off a certain word for script to notice completion. I also would like a section to key off of for failure so that I can be notified of completion or failure.
As for notification we currently use /etc/alias and I can just use my account already setup in there.
Does anyone have a wrapper already created I could have? Or could someone point me in the direction of how to create my own?
Im also wondering how the wrapper works? Do I call the program or command I want notification from within the wrapper?
Thanks!

Assuming you are using the wrapper to launch the script, then use something like:
Then call the wrapper script with the appropriate command and arguments, eg:
wrapper.sh /path/to/command arg1 arg2
#!/bin/bash
CMD="$*"
$CMD
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "$CMD completed successfully" | mail -s "Command completed" user@example.com
else
echo "$CMD failed" | mail -s "Command failed" user@example.com
fi
Then call the wrapper script with the appropriate command and arguments, eg:
wrapper.sh /path/to/command arg1 arg2
