Unix Shell Script : Attribute Parsing

Question

I am configuring a Unix Shell Resource on my IDM system (at least, I am TRYING to configure it)
I am creating the script for "Get User Attribute Parsing".
Here is the script I am using :
*<AttrParse name='ShellSample-74kfX GetUser AttrParse' createDate='0'>*
*<collectCsvHeader idHeader='Account ID' nameHeader='Username' delim=',' trim='true' unQuote='true'/>*
*<collectCsvLines trim='true' unQuote='true'/>*
*<MemberObjectGroups>*
*<ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' id='#ID#All' name='All'/>*
*</MemberObjectGroups>*
*</AttrParse>*
But, IDM keeps giving me the following error :
Unexpected end of data preparing to parse token number 1(<collectCsvLines trim='true' unQuote='true'/>)
Please, could anyone give me any tips?
Thanks.

You didn't specify if you want a total time for a portion of a shell script, or the whole script in general. If you only want to know the time of the whole shell script, just reference the linux/unix built-in variable ${SECONDS}. This variable is reset for each PID.
I usually add these lines to the bottom of long running shell scripts (just before an exit code):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
((TIME = ${SECONDS} / 60))
echo "Script ran for ${TIME} minutes. (${SECONDS} seconds total.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like I said, ${SECONDS} starts ticking from 0 when you start the script, so no need to export the variable, just reference it. The nice part is that you don't have to bother getting into sqlplus and hit the database.
