    We’re trying to find alternate ways to automate certain processes for Cloverleaf, one of which if an application called GoAnywhere.  When setting up an SSH connection, which should be straight forward, we’re receiving a lot of errors for anything beyond the most basic Unix commands (we’re on AIX).  After some digging we found that our permissions are heavily restricted.  Running “echo $PATH” shows drastically different results.  Running in in GAW return…
    <pre>/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java5/jre/bin:/usr/java5/bin</pre>
    …while telnet/ssh in command line return…
    <pre>.:/opt/freeware/bin:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/intfprod/bin:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/intfprod/scripts:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/_master/bin:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/_master/scripts:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/bin:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/contrib:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/sbin:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/dbms/bin:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/tcl/bin:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/clgui/bin:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/clgui/java/bin:/quovadx/cis19.1/integrator/usercmds:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/home/hci/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:.:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/scripts</pre>
    Would any configuration setting be causing this or has anyone encountered this in the past?

      I forgot to mention we are using the same login for the connections

      This is because of the way ssh works.  When using to login into a server like with telnet it runs the login scripts but with goanywhere because it is not an interactive prompt it works more like cron. In my case the login I use has the ksh login shell so I run commands like below.

      (. ~/.profile. ~/.kshrc;set | grep -i path)

      Thanks for the info!  When you mentioned the command you use, is that what your profile uses when logging in normally or when through the cron-like prompt which limits what can be done?

       

      thanks!
