Anthony, thanks for the response. The issue is that a lot of our process streams expects unique
user numbers. We had a script echoing a series of commands to uv, with the script being fired
up by the "at" daemon. The problem was, every job started up had the same user number, and if
two started up at the same time........
Thanks again! Drew

Try having the CRON perform a Phantom command. So, your UV "batch job" would be "PHANTOM JOBNAME".
Also, don't allow multiple jobs to kick off at the same time, schedule at least 1 min between jobs and you should be right.
Cheers,
Ray D

Subject: RE: Unique user id
I'm not sure how to get the user number unique. I do know that the pid is always unique. Is it that you are up against the ol 'at /cron' can only have one thing running at a time ? If that's it then you may have to do some work. What we do here is we have a phantom running as a job.monitor, which process all of our batch jobs. With this there is a whole system of commands (SUBMIT.JOB, CANCEL.JOB, etc...). We have our cron / at jobs log in quick and do a SUBMIT.JOB myjob. This way the cron process works for a second. It basically tells the 'other guy' to do the work. We have been successful with this.

Hey gang,
We've moved to a RH Linux platform from an HP-UX box, and have started using the "at" subsystem for running batch jobs.....we've run into a problem with the jobs all having the same user number.......any suggestions about how to get these to be unique?
Thanks, Drew
