Load /etc/profile and ~/.profile while running the jobs as login user by default shell

[Selvam Mariappan]

Hi Everyone,
In JOBS UNIX tab, If Shell is not selected in the start parameter, It will pick up the default shell from /etc/passwd file. If my default shell is ksh or bash in passwd file, the automic unix jobs not loading ~/.profile and /etc/profile values. As mentioned in this document looks like it is carrying only a limited variable i.e LOGNAME to jobs.

I have to explicitly select the shell as "-ksh" or "-bash" to load profile. Is there any way to load profile file by default without explicitly selecting the shell option in unix jobs?

Hi Selvam.

I don't think so, and it also goes against UNIX concepts: plainly executing something does not give your a login shell and thus doesn't source the .profile files.

You could, however, create an Automic Include and include it your jobs. That Include can then detect the shell and source the appropriate files. Maybe something like:

if [ $(basename $SHELL) == "bash" ] ; then source /etc/profile ; fi

Regards,

p.s. that approach may of course fail if the actual shell isn't compatible with the syntax at all
