Shell Programming and Scripting

You use the ibm-client to login to IBM-i, but does it login to the same user or not? I don't know what ibm-client is, does it also take you to a shell, or does it take you to that program directly?

Did you try my suggestion of . /etc/profile ?

I am using the same user to login through the IBM-client. When I login through the client I have to enter the command STRQSH (stands for start qshell) to enter into the q-shell and then I can use all the commands.

I am not sure what the /etc/profile solution is.(Really appreciate if you can explain). But here is what I tried.
There was no .profile file initially on the IBM-i under /home/john. So I created one with the below contents .

Code:

SHELL="/usr/bin/qsh"
export SHELL
export PATH

I went back to the windows machine and ran

Code:

ssh john@ibm-i

Ran the set command and I see the SHELL is changed to QShell

Code:

SHELL=/usr/bin/qsh

Then I invoked the wsadmin

Code:

cd /path/to/wsadmin

same error:

My ". /etc/profile" solution means typing ". /etc/profile" and hitting the ENTER key once you have logged into the IBM server... This may load a more complete profile in case ssh did not. Have you tried it yet?

But what you are telling me now is very different from what you told me before.

Are you saying you get the error just by running cd /path/to/wsadmin ?

I entered the ./etc/profile on IBM-i and I get

Code:

./etc/profile:not found

I missed the output below. Apologizes.

I mean to say

cd /to/path/to/wsadmin and ran the command

Code:

wsadmin -lang jython

and I got the error

Code:

wsadmin : syntax error at line 12: '(' unexpected

That is not what I asked you to run. You missed a space.

Code:

. /etc/profile

Oh ok ..

Entered

. /etc/profile

output

Code:

/etc/profile: not found
