How to debug a run task in Connect:Direct for UNIX

Body

Do you have a process with a run task step that does not execute what you expected ?
For example you have this run task to move a file to another directory :

RT1 task pnode (pgm=unix)
sysopts="mv '/home/user/filein' '/home/user/testdir/fileout' "

but it fails with feedback code 1 and the file is not moved ?

Try redirecting the standard error and standard output to a log file:

RT1 task pnode (pgm=unix)
sysopts="mv '/home/user/filein' '/home/user/testdir/fileout' > /tmp/cdlog 2>&1"

The /tmp/cdlog file should show why the mv command is failing, for example the user submitting the process might not have the correct permissions.

If your run task is calling a script:

RT1 task pnode (pgm=unix)
sysopts="/home/user/okscript.sh"

Add these two lines at the beginning of your script:
exec > /tmp/shellout.$$ 2>&1
set -x

(the $$ characters will be substituted by the shell pid during execution)
You should  then get a shellout... file with more detailed trace info about the execution of your shell script.
