remsh command as root does not work.

[someone_4]

I cant get my
remsh box1 -l root "cd to/the/dir;./this.scr"
to work. It will not execute the command ./this.scr right. I get an error.
saying ./start.nrcmd: nrcmd: not found.
Does anyone have any ideas? on what the problem might me?

Well, first do you have .rhosts file set up on the other box?
Now when I want to run a job remotely I set my remsh up like this:

remsh ./full path/script to run


Just one thought,
rcw

Hi Richard,

You could use the full pathname for your command, like in:
remsh box1 -l root -n "/the/dir/this.scr"
or
remsh box1 -l root -n "sh -c \"cd /the/dir; ./this.scr\" "

Best regards,

Dan

I got it to work .. I can exe. the command.
The .scr is acully a menu script. But the thing is that some of the commands on the menu do not work when I remsh the .scr.
But when I exe the .scr from the box everything in the menu works.

Richard,

As Dan mentioned, you should use the full pathname.
A script doesn't have the PATH's defined as in /etc/PATH.

Good Luck

Hi
When using remsh command on scripts, give full paths for all commands.
eg.
/usr/bin/echo "Sample comments"

Normally in my scripts I define commonly required paths as ENV variables at begining and then use it before each commands. This is required because when doing remsh it would not execute the .profile to set your env.

Thanks.
