Hi

As Conrad stated, you have to set the shell line.
The very first line of your script has to start with #!/full/path/to/shell
#! must be the first characters on the very first line.

Of course, this will vary from system to system.
By default, a shell script will try run in whatever shell you are in.
However, by changing the first line, you can force it to run in a different
shell.
It's a handy way of ensuring that a shell script runs in the correct shell.

Hi Vernon,

First of all I would like to say thank for your early reply.


If I change the name of the file from “ABL_CB_ERROR.sh” to
“ABL_CB_ERROR.ksh” and execute the same via “$./runclient.sh start” it’s
giving same error in the log file like:

/export/home/xymon/client/script/ABL_CB_ERROR.sh: DEBUG=N: is not an
identifier


“ABL_CB_ERROR.ksh” file look like:

Version=1.0a

# Debug-Mode ? (y/Y/N)

[[ "$1" = "Y" ]] || [[ "$1" = "y" ]] && export DEBUG="$1" || export
DEBUG="N"

Hi

sh does not support the syntax
export VARIABLE=value
This is a ksh and bash syntax.

If you are using sh you need to do it as two commands.
DEBUG="N"
export DEBUG

Hi Guys,


I am writing my own KPI(named “ABL_CB_ERROR.sh”) and keep it into the
/export/home/xymon /client/script/ path and configure it into
“clientlaunch.cfg” file in Agent(Client) side and also configure bb-host
configuration file in the Collector(Server) side.

In the “ABL_CB_ERROR.sh” file very first line it is giving following
error:

/export/home/xymon/client/script/ABL_CB_ERROR.sh: DEBUG=N: is not an
identifier


 “ABL_CB_ERROR.sh” file look like:

Version=1.0a

# Debug-Mode ? (y/Y/N)

[[ "$1" = "Y" ]] || [[ "$1" = "y" ]] && export DEBUG="$1" || export
DEBUG="N"
