unzip in script using rsh
Hi
I have searched usr/bin and usr/sbin to try to find unzip but I cannot find it.

My script is using the ksh #!/usr/bin/ksh but when I rsh to another box it cannot find unzip to unzip to a new archive, but I can unzip files when I am using a telnet session on the box.

The error message returned is ksh: unzip: not found
Any ideas?

Thanks

here is my code
Code:
#!usr/bin/ksh
host=dougall
filedir=/home/testing/performance

datefile=`date +%d%m%y%H%M`
rcp -p TEST.zip $host:$filedir
rsh $host "cd $filedir; unzip TEST.zip -d $datefile; cd $filedir/$datefile"

do 'which unzip' on a local system to find the path

cool vergsh99 thank you
I have another question....
the location is on my path ($PATH) and the rsh $PATH why therefore do I need to put the whole path in my rsh commands?
thank you

....'cause your '$PATH' is local to the SOURCE machine - not to the machine you're rsh-ing to [TARGET]

remote shell uses a minimal PATH on the remote box, usually something like what my box does:
Code:
/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/contrib/bin:/usr/local/bin

Plus it invokes /usr/bin/sh not usr/bin/ksh... see the man page for details.
