Running the script as ./ and . ./

Whiteboard · #1 (**permalink**) 03-25-2009

Hi All

Just have a doubt in running the script... I need to run two scripts... Am first running the setenv.sh as ./setenv.sh and the next script as ./script.sh.But after i run script.sh am getting an error as JAVA_HOME not set. I tried running the setenv.sh as . ./setenv.sh and ran ./script.sh and it does not give any error... am wondering what might be the problem...

Contents of setenv.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/home/test/142_16/bin:$PATH
export JAVA_HOME=/home/test/142_16

Contents of script.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
CLASSPATH=.:lib/classes12.jar:lib/SSEPrinthouseFeed.jar
if [ -n "$JAVA_HOME" ];then
   if [ -x "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" ] ; then
        JAVACMD=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java
   else
      echo "$JAVA_HOME does not seem to contain an executable java - please check before running $0"
      exit 1
   fi
else
   echo "JAVA_HOME not set - ensure this is set correctly before running $0"
   exit 1
fi
./alert.sh
exit 0
