Why?
Why would you want to do this and not deploy using a tool like ant after extracting the deployable object sources from your source control system and creating the object?
Then how hard is it to write a little bit oh bash to test for a file and if present issues and msqideploy followed by a move of the file to another directory?

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

so the thing to do is make sure you have a single script that will perform the build you want.
then tell your linux systems admin to schedule the script to run using cron. |

Thank You |

Are you asking for a script to be written for you, for free?
Are you asking for assistance with basic unix shell scripting?
Are you asking for a deeper explanation of what was said?
Have you done any research on automating the build and deploy of message broker artifacts? Like, for example, on IBM's website in their developer works section? |

Why? You've already been told a) this isn't a good idea & b) if you want to persist in doing it any Unix competent person on your site (like the sys admin) can assist and/or do it for you.

Deeper explanation of what? A few minutes research will show you that ant comes with all the facilities you'd need to build into a script.

There is a developerworks article on building and deploying broker resources.
It contains a sample ant script.
You can then write a unix script that does nothing other than call the ant script. |
