newbie problem with enviroment
Hi I've written a a script on box A that ssh's into box B and runs another script. If I run the script on box B it works. However when I run my ssh script (public key setup so no passwd required) it fails with "The WSB_HOME environment variable is not defined". Checked wapuser1 .profile on box B and all seems ok. I'm sure there is a simple explanation for this but setting up enviroment variables was never my strong point.

Scripts as follows.

#!/bin/sh

for pped in 03 04 05 06
do
ssh -l wapuser1 auumpp0pr$pped /home/wapuser1/scripts/wsb_start
done


Thnxs in advance.

In "/home/wapuser1/scripts/wsb_start " add a line to run your .profile such as
. /some-home-directory/.profile

Important to use the leading .[space] to insure the environment variables get set in the parent.
