I have a tcl proc that deletes any saved process logs older than 2 months. I have setup a cronjob that executes this tcl proc but I am getting the following error when it runs: /hci/qdx5.1/integrator/ms4test/tclprocs/processLogs.tcl[12]: proc: not found.
/hci/qdx5.1/integrator/ms4test/tclprocs/processLogs.tcl[18]: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 20 : `}’ is not expected.
The crontab looks like this:
34 11 * * * /usr/bin/ksh -c ‘eval `/hci/qdx5.1/integrator/sbin/hcisetenv -root ksh /hci/qdx5.1/integrator ms4test`;/hci/qdx5.1/integrator/ms4test/tclprocs/proce
ssLogs.tcl’>/hci/joe/processtestlogs.log 2>&1
Any thoughts or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Here is my tcl proc. proc processLogs {} {
set getMonth [fmtclock [getclock] “%m”]
set deleteMonth 0
set formatMonth 0
if {$getMonth != 10 || $getMonth != 11 || $getMonth != 12} {
set formatMonth [string trimleft $getMonth 0]
} else {
set formatMonth $getMonth
}
if {[cequal $formatMonth “1”]} {
set deleteMonth 11
} elseif {[cequal $formatMonth “2”]} {
set deleteMonth 12
} else {
set deleteMonth [expr $formatMonth – 2]
}
# remove all files that do equal deleteMonth
rm /hci/process_logs_test/*.$deleteMonth*
}
One thing I am confused with, how can hardcoding the directory structure inside the proc find the proc if it cannot access it in the first place? Could you please clarify? Thanks!

Nicole, On the second error, it looks like it thinks you have an extra brace, but when I copy and paste your proc in my editor and check it, all the braces line up, so that is a little strange. Did you remove a brace before posting?
To answer your questions on clarification, I misunderstood. You’re right, if it can’t find the proc in the first place, it won’t be able to read anything from it.
Another thought, have you run this proc from the command line and see if it runs? Before I add anything to Cron, I run it from the command line first to see if I get any errors.

I think you need to make the file a script and not a procedure. remove the “proc processlogs {” line, and the final }. Add the tcl intepreter to the first line: #!/hci/qdx5.2/integrator/bin/hcitcl
(or wherever your tcl is).
make it executable: chmod +x filename.tcl (if you’re on unix).
and then try to run it.

If your on a unix system I would recommend making your scripts cloverleaf release independent with the below as the 1st three lines of your script. #!/usr/bin/sh
# reload using exec but make it a comment for tcl
exec hcitcl “$0” “$@”
The first line may vary depending on your unix version
#!/usr/bin/sh is for aix
the sh exec will use the environment variables to find hcitcl
and root must be set
