batch in AIX does not run

[JoseDeMadrid]

Dear all,

The batch command in my AIX system does not work.

The queuedef, at.allow, etc.. seem to be properly configured. When I launch in batch ( for example batch ls -l &) the instrucction enters in the queue b (I can see it with at -l), but it never runs, it remains stalled.

Any idea would be appreciated very much.

Thanks in advance,

José Luis

Hola! This might not be related but cron requires an environment of sorts to be passed to it. This is sometimes done by adding . /<user_home>/.profile (note space between . and /) early in the script to be called, so that the user's .profile is executed and all the correct PATHs etc set up. It's possible that the at command requires the same and this may be why your script isn't executing. Try adding the .profile as above and give it a go. Hope this helps.
