Re: [IBMiOSS] Difference between STRQSH and running in start.sh

[Scott Klement <opensource@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob,

QShell (like all Unix shells) searches in your PATH to find the program 
to run.  It is looking for a program named 'serve', but cannot find it 
in your PATH.  You haven't told us what the PATH is... I suspect its 
different in the batch job vs. the interactive one.

If the goal is to run the 'serve' command from the 
/home/RROGERSON/node/vlegacireactjs directory, then you should change 
the code to this:

./serve -s build -l 8010

The ./ tells it to look in the current directory (i.e. the one you 
switched to with the prior 'cd' command) rather than use the PATH to 
find the program.

Good luck!
