Hello All,
I am on HP-UX.
Problem is that my remote script behaves different depending on execution method.
Method1 (Remote execution):
remsh remoteserver /home/myscript.sh
Method2 (Local execution):
remoteserver :/home#sh myscript.sh
In method 2, I can succesfully set timestamp with tee .
But method 1 doesn't work at all.
What could be the difference?
Thank you
remoteserver :/#cat /home/myscript.sh
#!/usr/bin/ksh
DATE=$(TZ=GMT date +%Y%m%d%H%M)
touch -t $DATE date_reference.file
???
For me both work...
What is your default shell, VBE, mrcrowley?
I wonder if remsh is ignoring the hashbang and using a shell of its own liking...
I wonder if you've got a much newer ksh on your machine than the intended machine... Very few ksh are new enough to do date math.
Also, try set -x at the start of the script, it might be revealing.
ksh...

the code in remsh_touch_test is the one given above
#!/usr/bin/ksh
DATE=$(TZ=GMT date +%Y%m%d%H%M)
touch -t $DATE date_reference.file
Hi corona , my concern is I dont understand what tee has to do with setting timestamp in post#1 , and more with the given code...
checked again, I got it now the HP box has almost no load, I have the contrary of post#1:
on remote, ( remsh first then at prompt execute...) it doesnt update...
from aix using the big command line above, it does, so its to do with multi-processing:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
DATE=$(TZ=GMT date +%Y%m%d%H%M);
touch -t $DATE date_reference.file
now it works all time... in both cases
ant:/home/vbe $ date;remsh_touch_test |ll -lrt|tail -7
