UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hello All,

I am using AIX 6.1
I created two users (user_1 and user_2) with same primary group goup_1.
in user_1 I am accessing an application command line which is found under user_1home_dir/application/bin

I need to access the same application command line from user_2.
What I did that in the ".profile" file of user_2, i modified the Path variable to add the PATH=$PATH:user_1home_dir/application/bin
same for LIBPATH
but still not able to access the command line of the application from user_2

what do you mean unable to access? Please post the error.

also post the output of this command

Code:

ls -ld /path/to/user_1home_dir /path/to/user_1home_dir/application /path/to/user_1home_dir/bin

No error is generated below is an example, it is just do not enter applicaion command line

from user_2
user_2homedirectory>appcmd
application_name.2.61
user_1homedirectory>


from user_1 :

user_1homedirectory>appcmd
appcmd>

below is the result of ls -ld:

Code:

drwxrwxrwx   14 user_1   group_1          4096 Aug 20 11:20 user_2homedirectory
drwxrwxr-x   17 root     system         4096 Aug 20 16:54 user_1homedirectory
drwxr-xr-x    2 user_1  group_1         20480 Jul 29 21:31 user_1homedirectory/application/bin

It looks like when you are accessing from user_2 the application in question is giving some sort of version number and coming out.

Is it possible to check the application to see if there is someting /dev/null redirection is there or not. It looks like some error is happening but you are not able to look that in stdout.

hmm...well, you gotta take a better look at the source code or the script of that appcmd file. It does not appear to be a permission or PATH variable problem. Would you mind posting the script on here?
