Call a shell script (.sh) from a tps proc

[RICK L. PRITCHETT]

Looking to call a shell script from a tps proc.  It looks to be hanging in the testing tool.  I have tried the following when calling the script.

exec /hci/cis19.1/integrator/scripts/tps_alerts/blockproddata.sh $thdName $site

exec {/hci/cis19.1/integrator/scripts/tps_alerts/blockproddata.sh $thdName $site}

Always use the tcl catch command when calling exec.

First, I would change path to something like:
$::HciSiteDir/scripts/tps_alerts/…..   to make it available to furfure versions of Cloverleaf.  If You had the script in the scripts directory you would not need the path at all, just the script name since the scripts directory is in your path environment.

Then, run the script in the background  by appending an & at the end.  The script is  hanging waiting for action

Then, as Max said, it is always safer to use a catch just in case.
