It is telling you that your incorrectly using grep. Probably you are trying to use command line flags that are valid with gnu grep.

Hi David I can understand but can you tell me any workaround for that as my all remaining scripts are working properly.

You could post what you are trying to do and I could tell you a different way or you could download and use the gnu grep from ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/8/grep-2.5-sol8-sparc-local.gz be sure to use the full path name /usr/local/bin/grep in you scripts.

Hi David I am psoting my script on this site so please adivse me where should I make modification as I have installed GNU Grep and I have assigned proper PATH on in $PATH i.e /usr/local/bin/grep #!/bin/sh # $Header: hot_database_backup.sh,v 1.9 2002/02/06 16:48:56 lstrub Stab $ CUSER=`id |cut -d"(" -f2 | cut -d ")" -f1` RMAN_LOG_FILE=/u08/rmantest/disk1.out if [ -f "$RMAN_LOG_FILE" ] then rm -f "$RMAN_LOG_FILE" fi echo >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE chmod 666 $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo Script $0 >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo ==== started on `date` ==== >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7 export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID=ATRTEST export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_USER=oracle TARGET_CONNECT_STR=sys/manager@ATRTEST RMAN=$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman echo >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo "RMAN: $RMAN" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo "ORACLE_SID: $ORACLE_SID" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo "ORACLE_USER: $ORACLE_USER" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo "ORACLE_HOME: $ORACLE_HOME" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo "NB_ORA_FULL: $NB_ORA_FULL" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo "NB_ORA_INCR: $NB_ORA_INCR" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo "NB_ORA_CINC: $NB_ORA_CINC" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo "NB_ORA_SERV: $NB_ORA_SERV" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo "NB_ORA_POLICY: $NB_ORA_POLICY" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE if [ "$NB_ORA_FULL" = "1" ] then echo "Full backup requested" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE BACKUP_TYPE="INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0" elif [ "$NB_ORA_INCR" = "1" ] then echo "Differential incremental backup requested" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE BACKUP_TYPE="INCREMENTAL LEVEL=1" elif [ "$NB_ORA_CINC" = "1" ] then echo "Cumulative incremental backup requested" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE BACKUP_TYPE="INCREMENTAL LEVEL=1 CUMULATIVE" elif [ "$BACKUP_TYPE" = "" ] then echo "Default - Full backup requested" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE BACKUP_TYPE="INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0" fi CMD_STR=" ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID=ATRTEST export ORACLE_SID $RMAN target $TARGET_CONNECT_STR rcvcat rman/rmanager@$ORACLE_SID msglog $RMAN_LOG_FILE append > $RMAN_LOG_FILE RSTAT=$? else /usr/bin/sh -c "$CMD_STR" >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE RSTAT=$? fi if [ "$RSTAT" = "0" ] then LOGMSG="ended successfully" else LOGMSG="ended in error" fi echo >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo Script $0 >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo ==== $LOGMSG on `date` ==== >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE echo >> $RMAN_LOG_FILE exit $RSTAT
