scripts not running via terminal in OEL5

[Kgaur]

HI,

I might be out of place posting OEL issue on a redhat group, but i couldnt find the relevant group on OEL.

It would be great if anybody could help me understand the issue.

I just installed OEL5 on vmware WS9 on my windows xp machine.
Quite strangely, I am not able to run any scritps via the terminal.

I just created a script "setenv.sh" to set environment for ORACLE DB (which ideally should have gone in one of .*profile files, which aren't running either), and changed permissions to 777.

Then I ran the the file as ./setenv.sh

Here are the contents of the file.
---------------
#! /bin/bash

export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/db_1
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
---------------

All help is greatly appreciated.

Regards

Hi


No problem posting here.

What is the issue?

Post error messages or expected and
found results.
For there seems nothing wrong with the
script.

I guess the result you expect is not
what you get.

You run the script instead of sourcing
the script.

source ./setenv.sh

or

. ./setenv.sh

will set the variables for the whole
session

where as

./setenv.sh

will only set the variables during
the run of your script.

This can be verified by putting an

echo $ORACLE_SID at the end of the
script and run the echo after the
script ended


Kind regards,
