Code:

./script.unx HAS NOHUP COMMAND IN ITS BODY, I AM GETTING ERROR AS NOHUP NOT FOUND...
i tried to run that script from remote server, its working fine


do ineed to set environment varaibles to remote server


please help ????

nohup is not in capital letters and what makes you think it is nohup the culprit?
show us the output displayed, maybe also the content of your script could help...

Code:

ssh -q <anotherserver> /opt/tcs/satish/tst.ksh > log &

the remore script is as below :

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
cdtm=`date +'%Y%m%d_%H%M%S'`
hst_nam=`hostname`
 
for inst in 13 14 15 16 17 18
do
`nohup DSM -dg 1 -i 85 -m DUPLICATE -c ${inst} -t 18 -a -DAILY > log 2>&1 &`
done
fi

above is the script , when i logging from that server and executed that script,,,, script is doing well

below is the error:

Code:

nohup: cannot run command `DSM': No such file or directory

The enclosing of nohup .. in ` is not needed.
You don't need subshell for it.

Put full path to DSM program in your code and recheck.

Its seems more that DSM is not in PATH...
Give the path to DSM and try

how to give PATH to DSM ..............

Add the following to your own dot file so it's sourced upon login or be sure to define it ahead of use within your script:

Code:

PATH=${PATH}:"/path/to/DSM"

Otherwise, as had Peasant said: just be sure to provide the absolute path to DSM (ie, /path/to/DSM...). Both Peasant and VBE are correct, only VBE's correct on a more session-wide/global level on the remote machine.

To be clear, you'd need to define it on the remote machine in either case (script variable or $PATH), as that's where you're executing the call.
