Re: Qshell question

To expand further: For real power, get into PASE and its modern shell and
languages.

First of all /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/bash is vastly more powerful than /bin/bsh.

You can spend the rest of your career exploring bash :)

Then there is python, esp. python3.

I'm a longtime bash scripter, but more and more I'm using python3.

I'll be presenting on this sort of stuff in the winter Common virtual conf.

Expanding upon Jack's answer...

Let's say '/home/rob/sample.sh' contains
....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....
************Beginning of data**************
cp /home/rob/sample.sh /home/rob/copy1.sh
cp /home/rob/sample.sh /home/rob/copy2.sh
************End of Data********************

QSH CMD('/home/rob/sample.sh')
would perform both of those copies.

Shell language supports some control structure, like this sample:
************Beginning of data**************
cd /
for i in "barneyphil editpdta home" # add whatever dirs to this list you
want to search
do
find $i | grep "?ce_core.log"
done
************End of Data********************

Have QSH execute a script that contains the actions you want.

I probably used to know this . . . .

Is there a way to run QSHELL in a batch job, and pass it more than one
command?

Case in point, I'd like to first change the current directory to a
specific IFS directory, and then use JAR to ZIP a bunch of files from
that directory (using a wildcard, which is why neither the ZIP in
UZAEMON's ZLIB port, nor the ZIP in MMAIL, is going to cut it).
