Hi All,

I am a unix neeophyte.  We need some help in creating a script.
This is what I would like to do preferably in the C shell.

We have a list of N jobs.
We want to process this list.
When job 1 is submitted (but not complete), we
want to process (iterate to) the next job in the list.
When the job is complete, we want to be notified via email.

Thanks for your help.

Please do not multipost.

If you feel a message belongs in more than one group, cross post
(i.e., place all the groups in the Newsgroups: line of the message
header). If Google groups cannot do that, use a real newsreader to
post to Usenet.

It might also be good to set a Followup-to: header.  Some boilerplate
I trot-out from time to time

One can specify more than one newsgroup in the Newsgroups: line. The
format would look like this:

Newsgroups: group1,group2,group3

with no spaces in the grouplist. This has several advantages (so long
as it is not abused by posting messages to inappropriate groups). Only
one copy of your message must traverse the Internet, saving network
bandwidth; only one copy of your message must be stored on each news
server on the Internet, saving many MB of space world-wide; you only
have to enter the news posting once, saving you time; people only have
to read/skip your post once, saving them time; all responses in any
group can be seen in all groups, keeping everyone up to date with the
conversation.

Also, you can add a Followup-to: header line which will direct all the
follow-ups to a particular group, making it easier for you to look for
responses.

I hope you find this helpful. If you do, please pass it along to your
peers as you see them needing the same advice.

sincerely,

rick jones
