Hello John,
midrange.com
QSH CMD('CD /vendordir;iSstartServerCmd.sh')
Either will work. The semi-colon is used to let you concatenate
multiple QSH commands on one line.
Just an FYI to John or anyone else who may not know... Yes, you can use the semi-colon to separate multiple commands, but it'll run both commands, even if the first one fails. In this case, it probably doesn't matter, since if the /vendordir doesn't exist, you PROBABLY won't have a iSstartServerCmd.sh script in your current directory, so no harm would come of it.
However, consider this:
QSH CMD('cd /tpm; rm dailySales.csv')
In this case, I intended to go to the /tmp directory and delete
dailySales.csv, but I accidentally typed '/tpm' instead of /tmp. Now the
CD command will fail, but it'll still try to delete dailySales.csv! If I
happen to have a file with that name in my current directory (very
possibly an important file that shouldn't be deleted!) I'll delete it,
even though the CD command failed.
Therefore, I recommend that you do this:
QSH CMD('cd /tpm && rm dailySales.csv')
Using && to separate the two commands means that it'll only run the RM
command if the CD command succeeded.
Also, you can do the following if you like (though it's less useful from CL programs):
QSH CMD('cd /tpm || echo "Directory not found"')
In this case, I used || to separate the commands. The ECHO command will
only be run if the CD command *fails*... so it provides a way to detect
errors and react to them.
But... the really useful one is &&...
