Thank you for the reply. That is a useful piece of the puzzle. So in this case, when I was calling script2 with the sh it was ignoring the #!/bin/ksh and using sh to run it.
I'm still unclear why it worked correctly when executing the kicker script from the command line, but not through the scheduler. Both ways it would be explicitly calling the subscripts using sh. I would have expected it to fail in both cases. I think there must be something else at play besides the difference between ksh and sh. I agree that the errors are due to the variable it's trying to compare being empty, but not sure why the variable would be empty when running it with sh through the scheduler, but not with sh from the command line and not with ksh from the scheduler. At this point it's working, so I'll just move on.
Thanks again!
Oh - and to Scrutinizer, thank you also for the reply. In the actual script there isn't the space before the shebang, I must have inadvertently added that while copying and pasting to the post.
