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"

With Regards, Jayanta.

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"

How can I resolve this issue? Kindly provide me the solution.

Hi Conrad,

Thanks for your valuable suggestion. Now it’s working fine after set the shell(ksh) .

With Regards, Jayanta.

Hello,

Remember to change the shell line to #!/bin/ksh, or wherever your ksh shell is kept. That's needed so the current env knows which shell to use.

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.
