We have an AIX server, so I dont know if the syntax is different, but we do
have AIX clients. we run similar commands but dont use any quotes and dont
include the "-c", an entry for us is like this:

su - oracle /home/oracle/scripts/backup/db_backup.sh

It usually runs fine. however, there are isolated instances where it may
fail with the rc=1 yet still run from the command line. in each of those
cases we have had to step through the entire process with debug statements
to find out what the problem is (keeping in mind that with the su -, the
profile is sourced first.) usually, there ends up being some problem in the
environment or a problem with double sourcing a file. i have no idea why the
scheduler has problems when it runs okay from the command line. but that is
what we have had to to... debug the process.

Subject: AIX backup command via TSM scheduler


Environment:
     Server TSM v5.1.5 on W2k
     Client  TSM v5.1.5 on AIX with Oracle running

Our backup job is currently being scheduled by the cron daemon on AIX via
the command ( issued as root )

          su - userid -c 'sh /tsmscript/backup.sh'

I was trying to have the same command  defined on TSM scheduler. But i was
getting a return code of 1 when the same command is issued by the TSM
scheduler. Is there a way to let the TSM scheduler use another userid
instead of root ?


Any suggestions.
