Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Accessing Isql command via VI editor Post 302975340 by RudiC on Saturday 11th of June 2016 08:27:59 AM

Let's get some terms right, as from reading your post I get the feeling not all is crystal clear to you:

df -h does not "load filesystem in OS level", it "... displays the amount of disk space available on the file system ...". A look at man df might help.

vi is one among many text editors. It does not execute scripts nor programs but allows you to create and modify text files. These, if consisting of commands and shell builtins, are known as scripts and, if having the "executable" permission set, can be executed (better: interpreted) by the shell. Just like commands.

Not having the slightest clue about isql I guess it to be an sql interpreter. You can run it interactively to perform ad hoc queries etc., or have it read and interpret sql scripts. One among others is the way you show in post#1 using a "here document".

I'd propose to prepare a shell script very similar to the one in post#1, make it executable, test it interactively, and, when happy with it, run it using su's -c option.


EDIT: Looks like my post crossed your recent update of your post...

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
