cron pstart error

[Chris Williams]

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?

[Sam Craig]

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.
