When running a script on a distant server via rsh, what is the $PATH used ?
I had done a script in the /usr/local/bin but the rsh reported it did not find it. So I assume it is using a separate $PATH but how can I find out ?
rsh requires fully qualified names of executables, scripts to be safe. It uses /usr/bin/sh (whatever that evaluates to on the remote server), and the PATH is usually limited:
/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
rsh remotebox -l myusername "/usr/bin/echo my path is \$PATH"
might help.
You can do this to set a profile
rsh remotebox -l myusername ". .profile && /usr/bin/echo my path is \$PATH"
