UWIN question
Hi

I've installed uwin4.2 on 2 boxes a Win Xp and Window 2003 server.
I have a simple script that I invoke form the command prompt like so
ksh {c:\script} on the XP box it works. On the 2003 it just hangs ! Any ideas. here is the script

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

echo hello
cat /etc/mailx.rc
TEMPFILE="/var/tmp/sgcreport.147464"
test1="/tmp/ums.out"
TEST=`grep "LoginVerifyThread" $test1| /usr/bin/awk {'print $2'}`
TEST2=`grep "NetWorker savegroup" $TEMPFILE|awk {'print $4'}`
echo $TEST
echo $TEST2


On the 2003 box as soon as it gets to the first TEST it freezes. Again this is a test I am trying to do you can use any file and grep something inside of it!

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Try running
Code:
grep "LoginVerifyThread" /tmp/ums.out | /usr/bin/awk {'print $2'}

from the shell prompt and see what happens.

The UWIN list archives are at https://mailman.research.att.com/pipermail/uwin-users/

In the uwin shell it works...It's just when I run it from a windows command prompt with ksh {script}

If I run it like this

Code:
C:\Program Files\UWIN\usr\bin>ksh "grep "LoginVerifyThread" /tmp/ums.out | /usr/bin/awk {'print $2'}"

It hangs

Try:
Code:
C:\Program Files\UWIN\usr\bin>ksh "/usr/bin/grep 'LoginVerifyThread' /tmp/ums.out | /usr/bin/awk {'print $2'}"
