Re: Starting a node program so it keeps running without interactive jobs staying open.

Because you will want to be able to run node from any directory. Think of a simple command like "cd" to change directory. You can run that from anywhere. If you had to change the current directory to the one that actually contained the "cd" executable before you could run it you would be a bit stuck, because you would have no way of getting there :)

Kevin,

I don't think you should be changing the path to the location of the
node executable. Setting the path (as Aaron suggests) would be better.

I believe you. Why this is so?

Thanks,

I don't think our system has any symlinks, and the path doesn't include /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin either. To be honest I am not sure why I can call it (and NPM) without setting the path - but I can.

Kelly, I don't think you should be changing the path to the location of the node executable. Setting the path (as Aaron suggests) would be better. In the meantime I will try to find out why that isn't necessary on our LPARs.

I tried removing the CD from my script and it failed. I added it back
into
the script, and it worked.

Early installs of 5733OPS for Node.js didn't add symlinks in /QOpenSys/usr/bin for the node binary. Later versions add it.

An alternative would be to do the following:
export PATH=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin:$PATH
export LIBPATH=/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin:$LIBPATH

I had to do the CD in my interactive sessions. Without the CD, it
didn't find the "node" command in the NodeJS bin directory.

I assumed that I would have to do it when submitting jobs in batch as
well. Maybe this is a wrong assumption on my part.

Great! Not sure why you do a CD to the QOpenSys folder though. I never
have to do that to run node or git.

Success!

I set the environmental variable in the start.sh script. The script
now looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/sh
export QIBM_MULTI_THREADED=Y
cd /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/bin
node /dir/sample.js

This worked. Thanks again for all of the help. :-)

Do I need to add the environment variable to the submitted job?


I would think so. Use SBMJOB to submit a CLLE program - set
environment variables there - then call QSH from the CLLE program and
pass the reference to your .sh file.
