RE: redirect logging in QSHELL

[Dan Kimmel <dkimmel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tracing goes to standard error and I think QIBM_QSH_CMD_OUTPUT may direct only standard output.

I'm confused by the #/bin/qsh -x command. Doesn't the # in front make it a comment? Unless it's supposed to be #! which insures the proper shell script is loaded. Can you use hash-bang to add trace to the shell? Maybe he's loading a sub-shell to do tracing. I tried this and my stderr went to stderr.txt:

> qsh -x 2>stderr.txt
> ls
... ls output
> exit             
  $                
> cat stderr.txt   
  $ +  ls          
  $ +  exit        
  $

Hi Marco,

QIBM_QSH_CMD_OUTPUT has always worked properly for me.  Can you please double-check that this variable is set in the job that's running the QSH command?  (i.e. if you're submitting the QSH command to batch, make sure the variable is set in the batch job -- as opposed to the submitter)

If that doesn't help, can you show me how to reproduce the problem? 
Maybe it's something simple.
