Hi all,
we have 2 servers connected via hdr and i need a script to change the
status(primary/secondary) of these servers.
The script consists of local and remote commands(hdrmkpri.sh,
hdrmksec.sh , some copy-commands and some tests in the right order)
The Problem:if i start a remote shell which contains an oninit-command,
all commands in the remote script are executed, but the ssh/rsh command
comes not back to the prompt.
Example:
server2:/usr/ifx/bin/ifx_start:
#####################
.. env_ids_10.0 # load informix environment
oninit
echo "after oninit"
#####################
locally started on server2 it works and returns the prompt

start on server1:
ssh server2 "/usr/ifx/bin/ifx_start"

-> all commands of the script are executed
....
after oninit
.....
the ssh-command has no end, no prompt comes back!!!

the original script is more complex, i reduced this to one
oninit-command (i think, the problem comes from oninit)

Our environment is Solaris and ids 10.0, but I had tests with same
results on SUSE-linux 9.1 and IDS 9.40.
And i tried rsh ... and ssh ... -> same problems.

remote script with onmode works.

Do you have any ideas, do you have an explanation??

TIA

I get the solution of my Problem from a IBM guy
stdout/stderr of oninit has to be redirected:

for example: oninit >/tmp/oninit.out 2>&1
now it works
