script question

[tom quach_1]

Dear all,

hpux 11.31 Itanium
This scripts run when the server start
i need to change DIR to /users/lee/listner
and run as :
./startall
this is vendor's script and it won't run as
/users/lee/listner/startall even from a command line.

how can i do that between the quotation marks?

case "$1" in
'start')
#startup Imaxsoft
/bin/su - lee -c "/users/lee/listner/startall"

.......

Thanks in advance.
Tom

Shalom Tom,

Make sure the script has execute permissions.

Yes as shown it should run fine.

Hi Tom:

That makes little sense. What does it do? Does is actually run and return an error?

# /bin/su - lee -c "cd /users/lee/listner && ./startall"

Regards!
