You could set up a marker file at the end of job A.
ie
if [ 'successful' ] # insert what ever code you would do to check this.
then
touch job_ok
else
'more code if failure'
fi
# End of script.
When job B kicks in just test for existence of file job_ok before backing up
to tape. At the end of job B (or start of job A) delete the file. Personally
I have the hot backup and the save to tape all in one script, I don't split
the actions.

Dear Lister:
I have two cron jobs which run at 10:30 PM & 2:00 AM, job A performed a DB
hot backup and job B will put those backup files into tapes. The problem is
job B is based on the success completion of job A. How can I write the unix
script for job B to do this check ? Please help.
T.I.A.
