      As we migrate Cloverleaf from HP-UX over to Linux (Red Hat), when attempting to do a pstart under cron:

      Quote:

      hcicmd -p cai -c “CERNCHRG pstart”


      we get the following in the cron output for this and other ob threads that have a destination of file:

      Quote:

      Response:

      pstart issued for thread ‘CERNCHRG’

      Notifying xlate threads of protocol threads startup

      sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `2′

      sh: -c: line 0: `hcixlatenotify xrel_post CERNCHRG >  2>&1 &’


      This seems to be something internal to Cloverleaf or cron. Has anyone encountered this before?

          Where are you setting your Cloverleaf root and site?

            Chris,

            Here is some code from our crontab to start a thread….

            ## Setup hci environment

            export ROOT=”/quovadx/qdx5.5/integrator”

            export FPATH=$FPATH:/quovadx/qdx5.5/integrator/kshlib

            export PATH=$PATH:$ROOT/bin

            export SITE=”pimprod”

            setroot $ROOT

            ## Run the setsite command to the region you want to process

            setsite $SITE

            ## Start the thread

            /quovadx/qdx5.5/integrator/bin/hcicmd -p process_2 -c “nextgen5_ob pstart”

              Finally got this resolved. It was the crontab environment that was missing DEV_NULL=/dev/null.

              hcicmd calls hcixlatenotify with

              Code:

              system( “hcixlatenotify xrel_post $thds > $ENV{’DEV_NULL’} 2>&1 &” );

              but it was resolving to

              Code:

              hcixlatenotify xrel_post CERNCHRG >  2>&1 &

              causing the redirection to fail.

              Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
