Stories similar to "at" command fails to run script containing ssh commands

I encountered a strange issue this morning. My $PATH environment variable is screwed up by a command

export PATH=./releases/bin:$PATH

It is totally okay to run this under a existing shell, the issue is I put it in the shell startup shell script .profile.

Crontab sourcing PATH? 31 weeks 22 hours ago

Hi,

Im trying to run script A which requires path /sbin. I have a crontab entry to run script A every 10 minutes. Script A is executed fine by cron, but because script A requires /sbin in its path it fails to run. My situation is script A get overwritten from time to time so I can't modify script A to set path in there.

So my question is...

Cron help please 3 years 17 weeks ago

Sometimes cron has a limited $PATH when compared to other things. Sometimes, it can be fixed by putting the full path to the script, and, in the script, the full path to each command the script runs. [by scottro]

I am executing a script through cron using the below command:

*/10 * * * * cd /nas/app/someFolder/psox; ./RunPSOX.sh >> /tmp/trial.log 2>&1

This is being executed by root user. All PATH and JAVA_HOME have been set at the root level and exported.

Path Error in script 1 year 18 weeks ago

Hi All,

I copied an existing script so that I could make updates to it and test those updates.

In both scripts I set the path which is the exact same in both scripts as I copied from the old to the new script.

setting path is this command:

Code: # Add the path required for EMC commands to run correctly export PATH=$PATH://usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/symcli/bin:/usr/emc/sc

As far as I understand, the usual way to add a path to the PATH environment variable is by concatenating paths separated by the : character.

I want to automatically add a new path to the $PATH variable each time when my RPM package is installed.

I tried to use a post installation script in the my RPM. Here is the part of RPM spec file containing this post installation script:

%post PATH=$PATH:/usr/app/mdg/bin export PATH

But after successful installation the $PATH doesn't changed. Please help me with that issue.

I apologize if this is an overly-long question, but this is detailed, complex stuff I'm wading in:This is from Chapter 1 of the GNU/Linux tutorials:1.5.3. "$PATH" variableWhen you type a command into the shell, the shell searches the command in the list of directories contained in the "$PATH" environment variable.
