Shell Programming and Scripting

ok... want to start off by saying i am sorry for the ignorance... still trying to figure out the diffs between solaris and aix... and i think that is where i am running into problems...

SITTIATION:
we are doing an implementation for Oracle's CC&B... we recently switched from Solaris-SPARC-64 to AIX-5.3-IBM...

there is a .sh that needs to be run to kick off "batch-processing". that script is:

Code:

nohup threadpoolworker.sh -p DEFAULT=5 -d Y >/dev/null &

that is a direct quote from "oracle-tech support"

well to make that script run properly, you have to set all the environment properties correctly. there is a script written to do that... so... this is what i have so far in my script....

Code:

#!/bin/bash

clear #clearing screen
directory="/data1/spl/cis/CCBDEMO/bin"
startenviron="splenviron.sh -e CCBDEMO -c threadworkerstart.sh"
cd $directory
$startenviron
exit

what that does is runs the splenviron with the environment name of CCBDEMO... then it kicks off another "command" that launches the second script wich basically just kicks off the threadpoolworker.sh.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

directory="/data1/spl/cis/CCBDEMO/bin"
tpws="nohup threadpoolworker.sh -p DEFAULT=5 -d Y >/dev/null &"
cd $directory
$tpws
echo "**********************************************"
echo "** START OF THREADPOOLWORKER HAS COMPLETED. **"
echo "** PLEASE TYPE EXIT TO REMOVE YOURSELF FROM **"
echo "** THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS.        **"
echo "**********************************************"

OK!!!

now... everything runs fine, and it does actually kick off... BUT! it just sits there and the second script doesn't go any further than the "nohup ....... &" it doesn't show the echo's at all... what i am thinking is that i need some way to tell it to go ahead and continue after the nohup...

how do i do that?

any and all help is appreciated...

are you guys telling me that i have stumped the guru's???

oh... one more thing that i was told to tell you all that might help... i am actually remotely connected to the server via "PUTTY"... don't know if that makes a difference or not...
