remote program execution

[goude]

Hello everyone

I'm trying to run a software that is installed on a server and everyone runs it from there just by typing its name (which is shake, a 2D compositing software)

There is a wrapper script written on the server that allows every host to run the program(sw/wrappers/shake*).
My problem is that I have upgraded one machine to fedora 11 and when I type shake I get the following error: /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin.skkx.exe: Command not found

As far as I know this error means that the program is either not installed or the relative directory is not included in the $PATH. If I do echo $PATH I can see /sw/wrappers/ directory.
I'm a bit confused why it looks to run the software from /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin.skkx.exe and not from sw/wrappers/shake*?

Please if you have any suggestions let me know.

Thanks a lot

I can't figure this out.

I'm reinstalling fedora 11 hoping it would solve my problem.

If your PATH environment is set correctly, then it is possible that upgrading the operating system has changed the permissions on the executables and/or scripts, or the executable bin.skkx.exe has been moved, removed, or something. My guess is that the wrapper version of shake is trying to run the one in /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin.skkx.exe and that's where the problem is.

My guess is that the wrapper version of shake is trying to run the one in /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin.skkx.exe ...

That's my guess too.

Have you looked through /sw/pkg/shake/ to see what's there? Is there more than one version directory?

Also, are you sure which shake script is running? If there are two scripts in different directories, then the order of the directories in the PATH determine which one is executed. Maybe someone copied an old version of the script to a local directory which is being executed instead of the current one on the server.

Try this command:

type -a shake

If that doesn't solve it, try searching for various exe files:

find /sw/pkg/shake -name '*.exe'

Thank you for your replies.

Yes there is more than one shake version directory in /sw/pkg/shake Here they are:

1) /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606
2) /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.00.0607

Also there is only one wrapper script for shake. I can't see any other scripts with that name.

The wrapper is referring to shake in only one line which is:

exec /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin/shake"$@"

But instead of running shake, is trying to run shkx.exe which is not defined anywhere in the wrapper.

The output of

type -a shake

is

shake is /sw/wrappers/shake

Output of

find /sw/pkg/shake -name '*.exe'

is

/sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.00.0607/bin/shkv.exe
/sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.00.0607/bin/shkx.exe
/sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.00.0607/bin/tshkx.exe
/sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin/shkv.exe
/sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin/shkx.exe
/sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin/tshkx.exe

There is a file called shake in both shake versions directories but it doesn't end in .exe it is just called shake.

When I cat that shake file in /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin/ I can see the line

exec ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/bin/shkx.exe $arqv:q

I guess this is what is trying to run when I type shake but it shouldn't.

My

echo $PATH

looks like this:

/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/home/goude/bin/scripts:/sw/wrappers:/sw/scripts:/sw/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/sbin: /opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin

I think I see.

You run shake, which calls /sw/wrappers/shake, which calls /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin/shake, which calls ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/bin/shkx.exe.

So how is NR_SHAKE_LOCATION defined? If you can't find it, try this:

grep NR_SHAKE_LOCATION /etc/profile.d/*.sh

[goude]

grep NR_SHAKE_LOCATION /etc/profile.d/*.sh

outputs nothing.

Here is the shake script in /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin/shake

#!/bin/csh -f                                                         
# set env var, NR_SHAKE_LOCATION if not set
#                                          
if ${?NR_SHAKE_LOCATION} == 0 then         
  pushd `dirname $0` >& /dev/null
  setenv NR_SHAKE_LOCATION `dirname ${cwd}`;
  popd >& /dev/null
endif

# set env var, LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH
#

if ${?LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH} then
  setenv LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib:${LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH};
else
  setenv LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib;
endif

# set env var, LD_LIBRARY_PATH

if ${?LD_LIBRARY_PATH} then
  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/lib;
else
  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib:/usr/lib;
endif

# launch shake
exec ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/bin/shkx.exe $argv:q

#echo NR_SHAKE_LOCATION = ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION};
#echo LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH = ${LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH};
#echo LD_LIBRARY_PATH = ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH};

I don't see NR_SHAKE_LOCATION defined anywhere.

[keikun2004]

The NR_SHAKE_LOCATION in defined based on the name of the script if it wasn't defined earlier (the first part of the script).
Your problem lies in the wrapper script.
Can you send the contents of the wrapper script ?

Here is the /sw/wrappers/shake script:

#!/bin/bash                                     
#path including shake settings, icons etc
S_PATH=/sw/pkg/shake-ls

if [[ $1 == "-nojob" ]] ; then
        export JOB="NOJOB"    
        shift                 
fi                            
                                                                                   
LOCATION=/sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606                                                  
                        
export NR_INCLUDE_PATH=${NR_INCLUDE_PATH}:\
${S_PATH}/include:\                       

export NR_ICON_PATH=${NR_ICON_PATH}:\
${S_PATH}/icons:\                          

export NR_FONT_PATH=${S_PATH}/fonts

export LICENSE_FILE=@bigboy

exec $LOCATION/bin/shake "$@"

Hope it helps.

Just for checking, is csh installed ?
Also in you wrapper script there are trailing backslashes here :

export NR_INCLUDE_PATH=${NR_INCLUDE_PATH}:\
${S_PATH}/include:\

and here :

export NR_ICON_PATH=${NR_ICON_PATH}:\
${S_PATH}/icons:\

Also note that, if NR_INCLUDE_PATH isn't defined at the start of the script you'll have a leading colon which might give a bad behaviour.
/End checking

I have noticed in your first post that something (a script or a binary) wants to launch /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin.skkx.exe, and in your 3rd comment you did search all the '*.exe' files and there isn't any file named bin.skkx.exe nor skkx.exe around there.
To better debug your scripts, i would add in the /sw/wrappers/shake script :

set -x

just after the #!/bin/bash (you'll need to comment it after terminate debugging)
and change :

#!/bin/csh -f

to

#!/bin/csh -xf

in the /sw/pkg/shake/shake-v4.10.0606/bin/shake
to see if any of the scripts make any wrong substitution.
Hope that helps
