Network Getting is not an identifier error
Hi all,
I am getting this error while setting CLASSPTH using a script
my script is

#!bin/ksh
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:<some path>:<some path>

If i do this thing on shell prompt individually it is working fine. but while using in shell script it is giving error.

better if you provide me a sample script which is adding more the 3 path in CLASSPATH

Please its quite urgent

thanks in Advance

regards,
Swat

The following works for me, ie the TEST variable that i export is available within the script whereas not to the shell from which i invoked the script.

HTML Code:
#!/bin/ksh
export TEST=$TEST:/home/inangan:/home/inangan/scripts:/home/inangan/tmp
echo $TEST
In case you want these variable to be available for all shell invocation, you may have to add those variables and export them in ~/.profile.

Hope it clarifies,Please let us know if this doesnot solve.

Thanks
Nagarajan Ganesan.

You stated :
Quote:
#!bin/ksh
Note there isn't a " / " before bin. Could this be the problem ? Otherwise the method above is correct. Can you please paste the relevant part of the script ?

#!/bin/ksh
export CLASSPATH=/opt/SBM:/opt:$CLASSPATH

above is script named hi.sh
#sh hi.sh
hi.sh: CLASSPATH=/opt/SBM:/opt:: is not an identifier

one more thing is this when i write export CLASSPATH=/opt/SBM:/opt:$CLASSPATH on the shell prompt it is working fine
