It did NOT run since the "host" line contains mismatched single quote marks.

I suggest that you include line below as the second line in TESTING.BAT file
env | sort -o /tmp/capture.env
then inspect file content after invoking script correctly.

in my TESTING.BAT file contains this 2 lines after your suggestion

cp /src/EOF.LOG /src/EOF_BK.LOG
env | sort -o /tmp/capture.env

still not working this. any suggestion please?

Hi,

I noticed that from .out file in /tmp foleder

its look reading the file and gives the below error
/src/TESTING.BAT: line 1: cp: command not found
/src/TESTING.BAT: line 2: env: command not found
/src/TESTING.BAT: line 2: sort: command not found

cp command not working in the script. But the same is working when I run in the terminal.

do we need to set PATH in the script?

Thanks
