You need to either type ./run_test.cmd or put your current directory (.) in your path.

$ ./run_test.cmd
ksh: ./run_test.cmd: cannot execute

same result

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 10:08:50ID: 15109308

run_test.cmd looks like this

SET JAVA_BIN="/usr/java1.4.1_05/bin"
SET ALT_HOME="/prod/iec/flt/ontyy/wld_flt3/altybin"
SET J2EE_JAR="${ALT_HOME}/seeRole/lib"
SET DEPLOY_JAR="${ALT_HOME}/seeRole/deploy/aler.jar"


set CLASSPATH=";${DEPLOY_JAR};${J2EE_JAR}/weblogic.jar;${J2EE_JAR}/ieff_acf_ient.jar;${J2EE_JAR}/ifff_ace_wls_client.jar"

differ between windows and unix:  and ;, set and export
rename your file to

run_test.ksh

 run_test.kshshould look like this

#!/bin/ksh
#
#
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java1.4.1_05/bin"
export ALT_HOME="/prod/iec/flt/ontyy/wld_flt3/altybin"

... and give that file the mode 777 ( -rwxrwxrwx )

;JOOP!

 

by: matthewdflemingPosted on 2005-10-18 at 10:58:21ID: 15109800

>>cannot execute
This means that the permissions aren't set properly for the file.. You need to make the file executable for whatever user group needs to be able to run it.  sciuriware's suggestion makes the file read, write, and executable for everyone.  If that isn't what you want then you will need to try a different mode.

1 - execute
2 - write
3 - write/execute
4 - read
5 - read/execute
6 - read/write
7 - r/w/x

The mode applies to (owner)(group)(everyone).. so 777 means r/w/x for everyone..  144 means x for owner read for group and everyone else, etc..

how do i set the mode for the file

chmod o+w <filename>

 

by: TimYatesPosted on 2005-10-18 at 11:06:25ID: 15109879

Just do:

 $ . ./run_test.cmd

the first dot tells it to run the file...

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 11:06:57ID: 15109882

same problem

$ run_test.ksh
ksh: run_test.ksh:  not found

What's the output of

?

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 11:14:00ID: 15109938

$ ls -l *.ksh
-rw-r--r--   1 diecd01  dsdr         620 Oct 18 14:08 run_test.ksh

 

by: matthiashowellPosted on 2005-10-18 at 11:23:49ID: 15110041

in the directory where your .ksh is you need to run

chmod 775 run_test.ksh

you can choose a different set of permissions but you need to see an x somewhere in the permissions so like:
xrw-r-r or xrw-xr-r--

then ./run_test.ksh

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 11:29:57ID: 15110101

change the chmod to 775 but same problem

ksh: ./run_test.ksh:  not found

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2005-10-18 at 11:33:46ID: 15110156

Please post result of

ls -l *.ksh

. ./run_test.ksh

work?

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 11:38:12ID: 15110202

no even
../run_test.ksh does'nt work

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2005-10-18 at 11:40:09ID: 15110218

Try using the full path to ksh

/usr/bin/ksh run_test.ksh

(or whatever)

 

by: TimYatesPosted on 2005-10-18 at 11:41:27ID: 15110235

>>  no even
>> ../run_test.ksh does'nt work

Space between the first dot, and the second...

. ./run_test.ksh

see?

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 11:51:23ID: 15110341

now it finds the file (forgot the space between  the 2 dots)

but the error is like this

$ . ./run_test.ksh
ksh: ^M:  not found
ksh: ^M:  not found
ksh: ^M:  not found
ksh: ^M:  not found
ksh: ^M:  not found
ksh: CLASSPATH^M: is not an identifier

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 12:02:56ID: 15110446

could anyone plz tell me what this error means

 

by: dbkrugerPosted on 2005-10-18 at 12:03:07ID: 15110449

You have extra carriage returns in your file because you edited it on windows (yuk!)

type:

cat run_test.ksh | tr -d '\r' > run_test2.ksh

then:
mv run_test2.ksh run_test.ksh

check permissions again, and set as before.

 

by: TimYatesPosted on 2005-10-18 at 12:05:07ID: 15110464

You don't need permissions if you use the "dot notation" :-)

 

by: TimYatesPosted on 2005-10-18 at 12:05:46ID: 15110471

Sorry, that should say:

  You don't need "execute" permissions if you use the dot notation...

Of course, you need "read" permissions ;-)

 

by: TimYatesPosted on 2005-10-18 at 12:07:34ID: 15110480

>> cat run_test.ksh | tr -d '\r' > run_test2.ksh

Or, you should be able to do:

dos2unix run_test2.ksh

to get rid of them :-)

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 12:09:50ID: 15110501

what does this mean ..
. ./run_test.ksh
/usr/bin/.: Permission denied.

 

by: dbkrugerPosted on 2005-10-18 at 12:16:43ID: 15110546

It means you need a comment line at the beginning idenifying which shell to execute:

#! /usr/bin/ksh

probably you killed the word ksh and put something else in there instead?

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 12:29:15ID: 15110644

#!/bin/ksh

I have as the first line of the file .... but no still same results

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 12:33:19ID: 15110671

#! /usr/bin/ksh
 even tried this but same result

 

by: dbkrugerPosted on 2005-10-18 at 12:42:59ID: 15110762

try:

ksh run_test.ksh

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 12:48:43ID: 15110811

sh run_test.sh
run_test.sh: ^M: not found
run_test.sh: ^M: not found
run_test.sh: JAVA_HOME=/usr/java1.4.1_05/bin^M: is not an identifier

 

by: eldoz12Posted on 2005-10-18 at 12:49:07ID: 15110818

changed it from ksh to sh

 

by: ram_0218Posted on 2005-10-18 at 13:07:05ID: 15110964

Just open your run_test.sh in vi editor., Copy the whole thing and paste it in NOTEPAD., Align your code., Copy and paste it back to vi editor., It'll remove all ^M
s

 

by: debiansidPosted on 2005-10-18 at 13:13:16ID: 15111013

Hi,

Open your file in vi. you should be able to see the ^M characters. Simply delete them.

by: mightyonePosted on 2005-10-18 at 13:43:03ID: 15111295

wow one cigarette and 33 posts......

still any probs?

to explain the ^M
on windows linebreak is CRLF on linux just LF

so easiest way as metioned by Tim is to use dos2unix. so to sum up all you have to do:

dos2unix run_test.sh
chmod 775 run_test.sh
. run_test.sh

 

by: objectsPosted on 2005-10-18 at 13:43:11ID: 15111297

It is an interesting point that the accepted/assisted answers had nothing to do with java and everything to do with working in a unix environment
