Hi bakunin
the script it is running on AIX 4.3.2.0 .
the script itself work fine only when try to check the Status of few variables there are the Problem. What i found out on few comment in the Forum is the AIX makes a different betwenn lookin in interactive mode and in Batch mode.
i wrote just 3 lines of code for Troubleshooting just write te result of the command env in to a file .
And if i now compare the file i got from Batch mode and from interactive mode they are quit different.
And that is my Problem during Batch Login not all variables available.

Thanks a lot for your help , wish you a nice Weekend
With Kind regards

OK. Can you post the script you have trouble with? Because, honestly, i have written scripts and put them in inittab before and i didn't encounter your problem, so i suspect it is something within your script rather than your system. (Albeit with a system which is ~16 years old (IIRC) one never can be sure. 4.3.2 was not even the latest 4.3-system. That should be 4.3.3 ML12.).

I hope this helps.
