Re: [IBMiOSS] Node troubleshooting for noobs?

Buck,

You're right the .profile is preferred, however, it's harder to set up
initially until you have some idea about those tools. Jesse's article is
a must read.

By just setting the link up, you get past the often misguided restriction
that /home/'profilename' is OK to use. I can't count how many times I've
been told not to set those directories up.

Or set up .profile to do it for you:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23913957/set-default-pase-ibm-i-shell-fo
r-individual-user


# detect if we're in a PASE shell
/QSYS.LIB/QSHELL.LIB/UNAME.PGM > /dev/null 2>&1

if [ $? != 0 -a "$SHELL" != "/QOpenSys/usr/bin/bash" ] then
exec /QOpenSys/usr/bin/bash
fi

Be sure to use the right path to bash... :-)


Or, read Jesse's article 'Tech Tip: Be Like a Turtle!'
http://ibmsystemsmag.com/blogs/open-your-i/august-2017/tech-tip-be-like-a-tu
rtle!/
and use the new DB2 functionality to set your shell call
qsys2.set_pase_shell_info('*CURRENT',
'/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/tools/bin/bash');
