Re: CL program help

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is how I start Tomcat from a CL program.  Perhaps it will help:

PGM
SBMJOB     CMD(QSH CMD('export as +                       
            CATALINA_HOME=/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28;export +
            as +                                         
            CATALINA_BASE=/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28;export +
            as +                                         
            CATALINA_TMPDIR=/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/temp+ 
            ;/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/bin/catalina.sh +    
            start')) JOB(STRTC528C) JOBQ(QSYSNOMAX) +    
            CPYENVVAR(*YES) ALWMLTTHD(*YES)              
ENDPGM

Basic QSH syntax would be QSH CMD('command to start')

It is the embedded "'" that will get you.  In that case you may want to 
build the string as a variable and pass it.
