shell script for dsjob command

[attu]

kinda new to shell script and trying to run the following dsjob command from the script..and get jobnames of my project

the error i get is
script.sh[2]: devtest: not found
Invalid arguments: dsjob -ljobs <project>

Status code = -9999 DSJE_DSJOB_ERROR



**************************************************
#!/usr/bin/ksh
project= devtest
export project

DSBIN=`cat /.dshome`/bin
export DSBIN

cd `cat /.dshome`
. ./dsenv

DSCMDEXE="$DSBIN/dsjob"
export DSCMDEXE

cmdstring=`$DSCMDEXE -ljobs $project`
export cmdstring

echo "$cmdstring"



******************************************

Thanks.

script.sh[2]: devtest: not found

means line #2 has an error (probably the space after the = sign)

Also consider using explicit hostname, userid, and password notation with dsjob.

Yup , it worked, but i didnt use the hostname, userid or password. BTW what would the syntax be

dsjob -ljobs hostname userid pswd project

thanks for notifying the error..

When I am trying to get the parametrs for my job froma project the script is not giving the required output.

***************************************

#!/usr/bin/ksh

project=devtest
export project

jobname=test1
export jobname

DSBIN=`cat /.dshome`/bin
export DSBIN

cd `cat /.dshome`
. ./dsenv

DSCMDEXE="$DSBIN/dsjob"
export DSCMDEXE

cmdstring='$DSCMDEXE -lparams $project $jobname'
export cmdstring

echo "$cmdstring"

***********************************

the output is $DSCMDEXE -lparams $project $jobname

Any suggestions please?

Thanks

Because you are exporting the final 'command string' not actually executing it.

Change:

Code: Select all

export cmdstring

To:

Code: Select all

eval ${cmdstring}

and see if that works more better.

Thanks Chulett, it worked.
