Access Issue - dir and script
Hi All,

I got access in UNIX box from our client.

I am able to create folder, files, script etc.. in that folder.

here is the issue:

my login/base folder is = /home/ace

I have created 2 folders within it

Script
ScriptLog

in Script folder i have created 2 .ksh file

Parameter.ksh
PointRun.ksh

1. Parameter.ksh = contains system level variables. i.e. credentials, Oracle variables which requires to be able to connect to Oracle from local dir etc..
All these variables are exported..

2. PointRun.ksh

I am caling Parameter.ksh file in PointRun.ksh to get all variable values defined in Parameter.ksh in PointRun.ksh
ksh /home/ace/Script/Parameter.ksh or ./Parameter.ksh

Issue:1 - This is not happening.

I am also trying to create log file in ScriptLog folder.

Issue:2 - It says Access denied.

I have given full access to all my folders and scripts with chmod 777 command.

I know, this is a access level issue. but do not know exactly about it.

I need to send mail to client, asking for access . What do not know what access i should ask for..

Well, to get environment you must 'source' a file, '. file_path'. It means redirect the current shell stdin there until eof or exit. Thus, variables are set in this shell, and if exported, will be present in the child processes. You are getting in trouble by one of these three:
  • not 'dotting' your environment file,
  • not exporting your variables or
  • not using good paths, absolute (start with /) or relative to your run time current working directory $PWD.
