Full Discussion: Creating a PATH variable
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Creating a PATH variable Post 303027887 by Circuits on Thursday 27th of December 2018 11:29:15 AM

Just want to make sure I understand completely. Specifying the PATH variable means that the program will automatically assume a path for functions like cp or what-have-you without actually referencing the variable: PATH? This would make sense because the deceleration of PATH is the only place in the script where it is being referenced by name. Then again, the only place data_dir is being referenced by name is in the instantiation as well. Is it possible that data_dir is acting in a similar way to PATH or is it more likely that data_dir was just never used after it was declared?

scdsbuilder

scdsbuilder(1HA)					       Sun Cluster Commands						  scdsbuilder(1HA)

NAME

       scdsbuilder - launch GUI version of Sun Cluster Agent Builder

SYNOPSIS

       scdsbuilder

DESCRIPTION

       The scdsbuilder command launches the GUI version of the Sun Cluster Agent Builder.

       Before you use Agent Builder, verify the following requirements:

	   o	  The  Java  runtime  environment is included in your $PATH variable.  Agent Builder depends on the Java Development Kit, starting
		  with Version 1.3.1.  If the Java Development Kit is not included in your $PATH variable, the Agent Builder command (scdsbuilder)
		  returns and displays an error message.

	   o	  You have installed the Developer System Support software group of the Solaris 9 OS or Solaris 10 OS.

	   o	  The  cc  compiler  is  included  in your $PATH variable. Agent Builder uses the first occurrence of cc in your $PATH variable to
		  identify the compiler with which to generate C binary code for the resource type. If cc is not included in $PATH, Agent  Builder
		  disables the option to generate C code.

       Note -

	 You can use a different compiler with Agent Builder than the standard cc compiler. To use a different compiler, create a symbolic link in
	 $PATH from cc to a different compiler, such as gcc. Or, change the compiler specification in the makefile (currently, CC=cc) to the  com-
	 plete path for a different compiler. For example, in the makefile that is generated by Agent Builder, change CC=cc to CC=pathname/gcc. In
	 this case, you cannot run Agent Builder directly. Instead, you must use the make and make pkg commands to generate data service code  and
	 the package.

EXIT STATUS

       This command returns the following exit status codes:

       0		   The command completed succesfully.

       nonzero		   An error occurred.

FILES

       install_directory/rtconfig	   Contains  information  from	the  previous  session.  This  information facilitates the tool's quit and
					   restart feature.
