"env" is not working in HP-UX 11.00

senthil_kumar_1 — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:51:58 GMT

Hi

I am using HP-UX 11.00.

I issued following command to view the environmental variables.

EX:

# env

it is not giving any outputs.

But i am able to use echo to view the output of particular variable.

# echo $SHELL
/usr/bin/sh

For Your Information:

# which env
/usr/bin/env

How to make this command working.

What does:

# ls -l /usr/bin/env

show?

From one of my 11.0 servers it is:

-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 16384 Nov 7 1997 /usr/bin/env

Hi Senthil:

Verify the 'env' has not been aliased like:

# alias env='env -i'

Type:

# alias

...to see if it has.

If it has been aliased you can do:

# unalias env

...or simply run the absolute path as Patrick suggested:

# /usr/bin/env

Regards!

Since you are using a real shell, you should use the following to see what env is:
whence -v env

Hi

root@lgapps:/root > ll /usr/bin/env
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 0 Jun 22 17:51 /usr/bin/env

env is 0 byte.So it is corrupted try to get this from another equivalent server.

Regards
Sunny

Hi (again) Senthil:

Your problem is the someone truncated '/usr/bin/env':

-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 0 Jun 22 17:51 /usr/bin/env

Note the size is zero! This would appear to have been done on June 22.

If you have another (same OS level) server you could copy the binary from there.

Regards!

Hi Sunney and James,

Thanks a lot.

Now it is working fine after coping the file env from some other server.
