This is probably a really simple problem, but goes easy on me I'm still a newb. The problem I have is that a script (we'll call it script.script) I edited won't run for some reason, I get the error "ksh: script.script: not found"


The location of my script is as follows: /home/users/arkitech

The actual script I'm running looks like this:
[q]
#!/bin/perl -w
#
##########################################################################
# NAME: script.script
# SYNOPSIS: script provides daily monitoring of system activity &
# disk usage
##########################################################################
# DECLARE VARIABLES
use strict;

companyservername:/home/users/arkitech-> whence sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail

my @sar = qx(/bin/sar);
my @space = qx(/bin/df -k /dev/vx/dsk/elephant_fs/p1* | grep -v "Filesystem");
my $to = 'arkitech@att.com'; #
my $from = 'companyaddress@msg.ameritech.com';
my $date = scalar(localtime);
my $fs;
my $newfs;
my $kbytes;
my $used;
my $avail;
my $capacity;
my $mounted;

open(SENDMAIL, "|/usr/lib/sendmail -t ") or die ("Can't fork for sendmail daemon: $!\n");

print SENDMAIL "From: <",$from,">\n";
print SENDMAIL "To: ",$to,"\n";
print SENDMAIL "Subject: ODR daily capacity monitor\n";
print SENDMAIL "Reporting on ", $date, "\n\n";
print SENDMAIL "System Activity\n";
print SENDMAIL "-----------------\n";
print SENDMAIL @sar, "\n\n\n";
print SENDMAIL "Disk Usage\n";
print SENDMAIL "------------\n\n";
print SENDMAIL "Filesystem \t\tkbytes \tused \tAvailable\tcapacity\t Mounted on\n";
print SENDMAIL "------------------\t----------\t---------\t---------\t--------\t -------------------\n";

format SENDMAIL =
@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
$newfs, $kbytes, $used, $avail, $capacity, $mounted
.

foreach (@space) {
chomp;
($fs, $kbytes, $used, $avail, $capacity, $mounted) = split(/\s+/, $_);
$newfs = substr($fs, 24);
write SENDMAIL;
}

print SENDMAIL "\n\nEnd of Report.\n\n";

close(SENDMAIL) or warn ("sendmail didn't close nicely! $!\n");
[/q]

Thanks for any help

My guess is that it can't find perl.

Do a 'which perl' and make sure you have the correct path listed in your script. It's normally not in /bin. It should be in /usr/bin or maybe even /opt.

-X

When you start a script that's in the current workingdirectory, use ./script.script to start it. Just typing its name will not work, unless you put your current directory (specified by a single dot) in $PATH (which is generally a bad idea).

As an example, a simple script which just says "Hi".
Look familiar?

Thanks Indo, that's exactly what the problem was. I attempted to run the script using just the file name.

Thanks again for the help
