Why do you need the if [ -z ... ]? If $params is empty, just supply it to jobs2.ksh...

EDIT: And, if $params holds "jobs2", then sth with your read (which you do not show) must be wrong.

XtCallActionProc(3Xt)						   XT FUNCTIONS 					     XtCallActionProc(3Xt)

NAME
XtCallActionProc - invoke an action procedure directly SYNTAX
void XtCallActionProc(widget, action, event, params, num_params) Widget widget; String action; XEvent* event; String* params; Cardinal num_params; ARGUMENTS
widget Specifies the widget in which the action is to be invoked. Must be of class core of any subclass thereof. action Specifies the name of the action routine. event Specifies the contents of the event passed to the action routine. params Specifies the contents of the params passed to the action routine. num_params Specifies the num of entries in params. DESCRIPTION
XtCallActionProc searches for the named action routine in the same manner and order as translation tables are bound. If found, the action routine is invoked with the specified widget, event pointer, and parameters. It is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the con- tents of event, params, and num_params arguments are appropriate for the specified routine, and if necessary, that the specified widget is realized or sensitive. If the named action routine cannot be found, XtCallActionProc generates a warning message and returns. SEE ALSO
