Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi

I have a script which we are calling as below from another script but it does not exit out and just hang there.

main.ksh

Code:

#!/bin.ksh
echo "test1"
test.ksh | tee /tmp/abc.txt
echo "test2"

it prints test1 and then just hangs on test.ksh | tee /tmp/abc.txt
if i check the messages from test.ksh then it is going till last statement

seems within test.ksh there are few other things happening which are not completed so tee is still holding the process. If i do ps -ef | grep ...
then i can see only test.ksh | tee /tmp/abc.txt and dont see any other specific subprocess etc

I just want to find out what exactly is causing this issue and how to troubleshoot it,

any help would be really appreciated.

Without knowing what the contents of test.ksh are, I can't possibly tell you why it's hanging, only guess.

The line #!/bin.ksh doesn't look right, try $!/bin/ksh

If test.ksh tries to read from stdin, it will wait for user input like anything else would.

Thanks for reply
first line is not an issue.

I agree that without looking detail of the other script its tough to say, even i dont have much info on other script that's the reason i am looking for ways to troubleshoot or debug or find possible causes which might have faced by other members in past.

1. script waiting for input from stdin -- [this is not the case]

Are you saying that you do not have read permissions to the script?

Can you do sh -vx test.ksh and post the output here ?
