AIX .ksh script freezes when using the mail -s command
Hello
I am trying to send an email when a .KSH script is run on an AIX Machine.
This email will only include a subject line that is made up of variables from within the script, and is as follows:
Whenever I attempt to run this script it freezes at the following point:
I have run the printf command by itself, and this works as expected. I know that the mail function is working correctly as I have another script that this works on.
Issue: AIX server freezes on bootup.
Server AIX ver 4.3.3.0
When the AIX server reboots it negotiates NIS. During startup of NFS, customer gets one or more of the following error messages:

How do you user command completion in .sh or .ksh in AIX environment?
I know you can do it by hitting <esc><esc> in bash, but how do you do it in bourne or korn shell in AIX 5.3 environment?
Thanks in advance. (1 Reply)
Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I would mail the output command df -g to an email?

I have a ksh script running on AIX 5.3 which has sometimes a bizarre behaviour.
The script runs a child script like follow.
trap 'rm -f /tmp/res.log;exit 0' 2 15
run_child.sh > /tmp/res.log 2>&1
echo "run_child.sh is terminated"
next instructions...

I'm looking at a line in a script:
&& DRROOT="/dir1" || DRROOT="/dir2" I'm trying to understand it.
Is there a "-d" command and is it seeing if /dir1 exists and, if so, set an environment variable named DRROOT to "/dir1", else set DRROOT to "/dir2" ?
Thanks,

LEARN ABOUT SUNOS
exit
exit(1) User Commands exit(1)NAME
exit, return, goto - shell built-in functions to enable the execution of the shell to advance beyond its sequence of steps
SYNOPSIS
sh
exit [n]
return [n]
csh
exit [ ( expr )]
goto label
ksh
*exit [n]
*return [n]
DESCRIPTION
sh
exit will cause the calling shell or shell script to exit with the exit status specified by n. If n is omitted the exit status is that of
the last command executed (an EOF will also cause the shell to exit.)
return causes a function to exit with the return value specified by n. If n is omitted, the return status is that of the last command exe-
cuted.
csh
exit will cause the calling shell or shell script to exit, either with the value of the status variable or with the value specified by the
expression expr.
The goto built-in uses a specified label as a search string amongst commands. The shell rewinds its input as much as possible and searches
for a line of the form label: possibly preceded by space or tab characters. Execution continues after the indicated line. It is an error to
jump to a label that occurs between a while or for built-in command and its corresponding end.
ksh
exit will cause the calling shell or shell script to exit with the exit status specified by n. The value will be the least significant 8
bits of the specified status. If n is omitted then the exit status is that of the last command executed. When exit occurs when executing
a trap, the last command refers to the command that executed before the trap was invoked. An end-of-file will also cause the shell to exit
except for a shell which has the ignoreeof option (See set below) turned on.
return causes a shell function or '.' script to return to the invoking script with the return status specified by n. The value will be the
least significant 8 bits of the specified status. If n is omitted then the return status is that of the last command executed. If return
is invoked while not in a function or a '.' script, then it is the same as an exit.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
