This is on a RS/6000 530 with AIX3.1 3002. I have a 5 line shell script named haha: ------------ $ cat haha echo $SHELL echo $HOME cd /tmp cd ~ ls -CF ------------ $ ll haha -rwxr-xr-x 1 ghe staff 43 Jun 04 10:13 haha ------------ My login shell is /bin/ksh. If I run 'haha' directly, everything is normal. But I have problem run haha with 'nohup' command. The nohup.out gives right answer for $SHELL, and $HOME but it says: ~: No such file or directory then went ahead listed the files in /tmp. What is the problem? By the way, the script works fine if I put a #!/bin/ksh at the very beginning. --- Guangliang He ghe@physics.orst.edu

In your case nohup is running the command with /bin/bsh which don't know nothin' about ~. But in general is much safer in AIX to declare what shell you want your script to run under. You will find this especially true if you use csh and write ksh scripts. Paul Fink

This is a link to /bin/bsh becuase there are so many scripts out there that assume /bin/sh is the bourne shell. The best answer is to include #!/bin/ksh in your script. M.

Thank goodness, no. We headed that problem off at the pass. The default login shell is (I think). /bin/sh, though, links to /bin/bsh which is the Bourne shell. >Guangliang He >ghe@physics.orst.edu jim/jsalter IBM PSP, Palo Alto T465/(415)855-4427 VNET: JSALTER at AUSVMQ Internet: jsalter@slo.awdpa.ibm.com UUCP: ..!uunet!ibmsupt!jsalter "IBM part #23521, aka Lt.
