Hi,
I have a scriptJob that works using this:
string $updateSpans_jNum=`scriptJob -ac proxyRebuild_rc.spans updateSpans`;

And I want to kill it from another procedure using this:
scriptJob -k $updateSpans_jNum;

But I get this:
// Error: Error while parsing arguments. //

How come I get the error and what is the best way to kill a scriptJob from a procedure?

Thanks,
Ron

I'm not sure you should use string.

Maybe something like this will work:

int $jobA = `scriptjob ....`;

global proc killScriptJob ( int $jobA) {

scriptJob -kill $jobA;

}

That makes sense. I should have noticed that. I will be more careful.

Thanks for the help,
Ron
