You could set up a marker file at the end of job A.

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.

Regards

Lee

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.
