syntax error
I'm getting a syntax error /bin/sh[5]: Syntax error at line 5 : `(' is not expected. This error only occurs when I run the script from Autosys job scheduler. If I run it from the command line it works OK.

##### `hostname` equals cherry

if [ `hostname` != "elm" ]; then
export ORACLE_SID=DMRT
USER=dmrt
PSWD=`cat /oracle/.connect_DMRT` # I'm asssuming the error is on this line
DAT_HOME=/MMA_temp_staging
LOG_HOME=/opt/prod/DMRT/KC/CASEMIX/log
CTL_HOME=/opt/prod/DMRT/KC/CASEMIX
SQL_HOME=/opt/prod/DMRT/KC/CASEMIX
SH_HOME=/opt/prod/DMRT/KC/CASEMIX
else
export ORACLE_SID=dmrt_dv
USER=jschaffner
PSWD=dev
DAT_HOME=/opt/prod/DMRT/data
LOG_HOME=/opt/prod/DMRT/data
CTL_HOME=/opt/prod/DMRT/data

In autosys, along with the main job script, we can also give the profile setting file... is it the main script or profile file ? if it is the main script that you are running in autosys, could you please the is any profile file and causing any problem ??

can you also tell me when you run manually, what is your defalt shell

This job has no profile environment. However, I have a similar script
that uses a profile to set the env variables, and works OK from Autosys. I will try to create a profile script and see what happens.
