Python script called by a shell script
experts, i wrote a python script to do a certain job, i tried it and it is working fine, i want this script to be executed automatically after a ksh script, the problem is when i execute the ksh script my python script runes perfectly after the ksh script as I have include it at the end of the ksh script with the full path which is the same directory I am running the script from, but when a user run it from an oracle forms i got an error msg says
Code:
No such file or directory

I notice that the KSH script is executing a .profile file, i have include that too, i need an expert to tell me how can i execute my python inside the this ksh script.

this is the KSH script
Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh
. $POWERCARD_HOME/.pcard_profile
#/pcard16/pwrcard/.pcard_profile

echo "================" >> $TRACE/card_production_batch.stat
echo "START PROCESSING" >> $TRACE/card_production_batch.stat
date_id=`date +%y%m%d%H%M`
echo $date_id >> $TRACE/card_production_batch.stat

card_production card_production $1 C 1>$TRACE/card_production_batch.stat  2>&1


export r=$?

## IOManager
#export TASK_NAME=card_production

#if [$proc_status -eq 1 ] 1>>/dev/null 2>&1
#then
#        STATUS=OK
#else
#        STATUS=KO
#fi
#export STATUS

#.iomanager1.sh
## IOManager
d=`date +%y%m%d%H%M`

echo $date_id >> $TRACE/card_production_batch.stat
echo "END   PROCESSING" >> $TRACE/card_production_batch.stat
echo "================" >> $TRACE/card_production_batch.stat

#echo $(date) >> /pcard16/pwrcard/usr/shl/mahdi_test

./embosingExtraction.py 2>>/pcard16/pwrcard/usr/shl/embose_debug.txt
#.$SHL/embosingExtraction.py 2>>/pcard16/pwrcard/usr/shl/embose_debug.txt
echo '---------------------------------------------' >>/pcard16/pwrcard/usr/shl/embose_debug.txt
#echo $(date) >> mahdi_test


exit $r

embosingExtraction.py is my python script i have placed it in the same directory of the KSH script. Here is a look at .pcard_profile that executed in the first line of the KSH script

Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh

Executables, whether script or compiled, python or shell or whatever, all need execute permissions, scripts all need a $! first line and all should be accessed by $PATH not by definite paths, as described in man execvp(). Then, they are all peers and all run equally well, and the caller need not worry about what they were written in.

Python may want some environment setup that, if callers do not provide, you need to address. Having a simple shell test like if [ "$ZZPROFILED" =1 ] can tell you to run a profile and get things tuned up.
