Launch job that is not shell script

kambiante · Post by **kambiante** » 11 Mar 2010 8:11

Hi I have a problem to launch controlm jobs.

I have this job with task type job:

#!/bin/env /opt/myshell.sh
echo ok

When I launch it, the controlm execute: /bin/sh -x myjob

I want that controlm execute: myjob (without /bin/sh)

Can someone help me?

make it a tasktype of "command" instead of "job" and as cmdline ./myjob

Do not use a shell to run a single command. Simply, type your command in 'Command' (General tab) and Select 'Task Type' as 'Command' from selection list.

If the task type is command, I can not modify my job from CONTROLM/Enterprise, this is the problem.

Why you can't change this from EM GUI ?.

Check your autorizathion profile.

Because CM/Enterprise can not modify a job with task type command.

Of course you can.

- Simply, hold your job.
- Doble-click to edit properties
- Click on general tab
- Check your 'Job Type' is OS.
- Type the new command in '*Command:' entry.
- Click on Save & Close button
- Free your job
- Rerun your job

This operation only work until the next new Day. To make changes for all day, you must edit ypour job using Desktop and re-save the table.

kambiante,

Refer to "Specifying the shell type" in the "control-m administrator guide" (V6.4.xx) or "control-m agent for Unix and Microsoft Windows administrator guide", if you use V6.3.xx.
According to the information specified here, it looks like controlm expects YOU to specify either /bin/sh, ksh, csh or tcsh.
This is not what you specify in your example, so ctm should apply a default of /bin/sh ( I could not identify where from).

If you read a bit further, the table "Shell parameters" tells that you can adjust the behaviour of the shell. The "n" option seem to address
your request. Please note the restriction attached to this parm.

Tell us the results

Hi,

I dont understand you. I read the tab "Shell parameters" and the option "n" doesnt work.

Do you know other options?

Thanks.

kambiante,

I have no opportunity to test your case.
Did you set the "Bourne Shell Flags" to "n" using the ctmagcfg utility ?

If so, I cannot help you any further and, as mentionned previously, it seems that controlm does not siupport other shels than the 4 listed in the agent admin guide

Cheers

Hi,

Could I modify some binary file to change the "/bin/sh -x" for my /opt/myshell.sh ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have found a possible solution for my problem.

If I put my job as tasktype- Detached , I can edit/view my job and it runs without /bin/sh.

Thans for your help Nicolas!!
