executing a command using ssh
Hi All,

I am trying to execute a command using ssh as below.

Code:
ssh user123@servername "which ctmcontb"

It is gving the error as below

Code:
no ctmcontb in /usr/bin /usr/sbin /opt/sysadm/bin

Not sure from where the PATH is getting picked up.

But When I login direclty to the server I am able to find the command.

Code:
which ctmcontb
/app/controlm/ctm/exe_HP-UX-11/ctmcontb

Please let me know how the path is getting set.

Same is the case with both HP and sun servers.

Hi,

already tried to insert a PATH definition in .bashrc located in the user's remote home directory? (I think ssh in non-interactive mode reads .bashrc on the remote server to initialize the session parameters).

see ya

is it correct to assume that you used the same ids on both boxes?

How did you log on directly? Using ssh or telnet/remsh?

Yes. I used same ID to login to the server.

I used ssh to connect direclty to the server and ssh username@servername which ctmcontb.

check path settings. id probably do this and compare the results from each servers

Code:
set | grep -i path
