Hi Guys,

I am facing problem in my shell script setenv command not find.

user uses tcsh shell

Below is my code

[code}
#!/bin/sh
#get Directories informations
arg3=`pwd`
cd ..
mkdir -p lint/reports_India
arg5=`pwd`
cd ../..
arg4=`pwd`

#ssh remote host and pass agrguments
sshpass -p 'abc' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no l abc@machine1 sh -x /home/lint/lint-us.sh $1 $2 $arg3 $arg4 $arg5
[code]

Remote host script:
[code]
#!/bin/sh
echo $SHELL
#get total fields by spliting /
T_field=`echo "$3" | awk -F"/" "{ print NF }"`
#Get second and fourth field names
a=1
b=3
Second="$((T_field - a))"
Fourth="$((T_field - b))"
F_field=`echo "$3" | cut -d'/' -f$Fourth`
S_field=`echo "$3" | cut -d'/' -f$Second`
cd /home/lint/project/t6/T6_USLint/
echo "$4"
#get only directories
ls -d */ > /home/lint/output
while read line
do
cd $line
hg pull; hg update
cd ..
done < /home/lint/output
#sync data
rsync -av root@xyz:$4/ /home/lint/project/t6/T6_USLint/; hostname; whoami
echo $SHELL
#sshpass -p 'cdrom88' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@vnc55 rsync -av -e ssh root@vnc55:$4/ /home/lint/project/t6/T6_USLint/
echo "`pwd`"
path=`pwd`
setenv DESIGN $path
echo "$DESIGN"
setenv RTL $path/rtl
setenv VERIF $path/verif
echo "$VERIF"
setenv MAKETOOLS $path/maketools
setenv IPDIR $path/ipdir
/usr/bin/perl /home/lint/project/t6/T6_USLint/maketools/setprod.pl $1
[code]

Since user uses tcsh shell and script is in sh. So I have tried insteadof setenv DESIGN $path export DESIGN=$path
but script is hanging near
/usr/bin/perl /home/lint/project/t6/T6_USLint/maketools/setprod.pl $1

Please help

The closing code tag should be [/code]

Are you sure /bin/sh points to tcsh? Try using #!/bin/tcsh ( presuming tcsh is in bin ) Some shells like BASH ( I don't know about tcsh ) will allow/force slightly different syntax/comands when called as /bin/sh, in BASH this make BASH act 'posixly', is that a real word?

unless done on purpose, I'm not aware of a system that links /bin/sh to 'tcsh'; since this shell is not one of the most commonly used (ksh and bash are the most common used, I guess) it would be good to verify which shell is actually used. The shebang forces the use of this shell, so the user shell has no impact on this script.

@Keith Hedger, I have seen the word 'posixly' in various contexts; my only guess is that it is a valid term :-)

Anyway; you say the script hangs at or near the call to the perl script; What does this perl script do, and how do you know it hangs?

have you tried to 'debug' using 'set -x' to see what actually happens inside your script; a small typo can collapse your entire setup :-)

Hi,

Yes even i thought user shell wont cause any impact on this script.


1. when i use export the script hangs at /usr/bin/perl /home/lint/project/t6/T6_USLint/maketools/setprod.pl $1 i tested with sh -x script

2.When i use setenv it says command not found and /usr/bin/perl /home/lint/project/t6/T6_USLint/maketools/setprod.pl $1 says set product variables.

3. I have tested manually its works fine. I have tested each command in user tcsh shell prompt.So its says there is problem in perl script
Now I have one option i need to use #!/bin/tcsh and translates script to tcsh syntax or any other option to fix this problem
