Customize the Runtime Environment for a Bourne Shell Script

If your job runs a Bourne shell script, you can customize the runtime environment by specifying a specific environment for the script.

To customize the runtime environment for a Bourne shell script, do the following:

• Define a specific environment for the Korn shell
• Have the agent run the Bourne shell script using the Korn shell

Note: The ENV variable only works for the Korn shell. The Korn shell is a superset of the Bourne shell. Anything that runs under the Bourne shell runs without modification under the Korn shell.

Example: Customize the Runtime Environment for a Bourne Shell Script

In this example, the agent runs the cmd1.sh Bourne shell script. Before running the script, the agent runs the following:

• The login file for user guest
• The /esp/myenv file

  AGENT SUN30RD
  SHELL /bin/ksh
  SCRIPTNAME /home/bin/cmd1.sh
  USER guest
  ENVAR ENV=/esp/myenv
