RE: Unix question

I agree and just to add, use environment variables for your paths or better yet, create an environment script that gets sourced by each script. This way you only need to update one environment script when the environment changes.

Off the top of my head, I am thinking that the current directory is not in your path. That is not an unusual thing. Specify the whole filename when executing it (including the path). Of course, if the script calls other scripts (or uses other files) and expecting them in the current directory you will have the same issue I believe. Its bad practice not to specify the path in scripts.

Roland,

The file permissions on the file - loadfiles.sh --- might be set to no execute, no read, no write permissions for the group and others. In this case, only the owner of the file could access the file. Hence, under what user id are you calling this script? Also, check the permissions on the --- loadfiles.sh.

Or change the file permissions on - loadfiles.sh ---. Go to the directory where - loadfiles.sh --- exists. Enter --- chmod 777 loadfiles.sh. Then run your command. If you get error during chmod command, it means you are not the owner of the file and hence, you are getting the error. In that case, you have two options. Either contact your sysadmin and ask him to change the file permissions on loadfiles.sh. Or if you know the owner's userid and pass word, then log on as that user and then change permissions on loadfiles.sh by executing the command chmod 777 loadfiles.sh

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi

can you do a "cat" on that file? if no: Maybe there are invisible characters as the back/front of the file name. try mv *loadfiles.sh* loadfiles.sh (see if you get message that filenames are identical)

If that is not the problem, maybe the script calls a file that doesn't exist

Hallo,

why do I get the error message "No such file or directory". when I try to run unix script loadfiles.sh which is located in  the directory /konto/tmp.

This file, loadfiles.sh really exists in that directory.

Thanks in advance

Roland
