Executing remote application using ssh without full reference to its location
Hello again Smilie ,

My script has an ssh command to run a script on a remote machine. The script has commands such as sqlplus and unzip. However, the return I get in my own terminal says it can't find sqlplus and unzip.

the ssh command is:
Code:
ssh user@host "cd ScriptDir; ./Script.sh"

and the result I get is:
Code:
./Script.sh[74]: sqlplus:  not found

Thanks.

You need to get your script (or the ssh command) to set the Oracle environment.

i.e.
Code:
$ ssh root@ora1 "which sqlplus"      
which: no sqlplus in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)

$ ssh root@ora1 "ORAENV_ASK=NO; . oraenv DB1; which sqlplus"  
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/client/bin/sqlplus

There is a bunch of things exported upon normal login (not just to run a command). Would it be fixed by adding
Code:
. .profile

before the command which runs the script?

Most likely. Give it a go!

It doesn't fix it. But I found the reason why.

Code:
ssh user@host echo $PATH

does not have the oracle or unzip paths, but
Code:
user@host:> echo $PATH

does.

Now all I have to do is make sure the $PATH is loaded completely.

I thought we agreed (in your other thread), that to access a remote variable you need to escape it:

Code:
ssh user@host echo \$PATH

Ok now it's working.

We went off on the wrong track after the . .profile post. It was a link to another location. Somehow ssh doesn't like to load link files. To fix it I just used
Code:
. /location/to/which/it/was/pointing/realProfile

Thanks again for the help.
