bashsqoop

Execute a job only when the previous has finished

I have a bash script which has a sqoop exec and after it three impala commands. I want to run it but only when the previous execution has finished. Is this possible to be done in cronjob or in oozie?

Solution

  • I assume you are in a linux environment so you should be able to use the run-one command ( ubuntu run-one ) in conjunction with you bash script in a crontab.

    e.g.

    * * * * * cd /path/to/your/script && run-one ./your-script.sh

    If not available you should be able to install if with your package manager
