Re: RSH calling a shell script .profile issue

Like this:

#!/bin/bash
# or /bin/ksh, or ....
# set this to the right home path
HOME=/home/compileUser
. ~/.profile
cd pathToMakeIn
make
...
[download]

Make sense?

This worked Mike... I was missing the HOME line and that just so happened to be the issue. I never thought this would be that difficult until you start coding such a monster. Thanks for your input guys...	[reply]

Hello Mike... This worked, it's funny how simple it is to screw something up. I attempted to do what you suggested but I was missing one thing... The HOME= which was causing my problems either with .profile loading or how make was referencing HOME. Anyway, adding it took care of the problem. Meant to reply sooner but the page was really slow Friday... Thx again.	[reply]
