OT: Unix redirecting question

[fernando.olmos at hpa.com.au]

Hi guys.

I hope this is not too of topic, as it's related to some work I am doing
compiling Powerhouse programs, but the script that does this is a Unix
cshell script (I miss VMS!!).

Anyway, if there is any Unix guys in here, maybe you may help me,
please?

I have the following "BAT" file (cshell script for Compaq Tru64 UNIX
V5.1 (Rev. 732)):


#!/bin/csh -f

#Points to where powerhouse has been installed
setenv PH_USR /usr/cognos/ph823d7
setenv PH_VER d7
source /usr/cognos/ph823d7/setpow.csh

setenv ORACLE_HOME /users/oracle/OraHome1

#change directory to the mips source folder
cd /mis/mips/src

/bin/date

################################################################
# Recompile global QUICK screens, for Sydney
qdesign dict=/mis/sydmips/obj/phd.pdc << 'flag1'
use /mis/sydmips/obj/compilemips.qks nolist
exit
'flag1' > /mis/sydmips/obj/compilemips.out2 2>&1


*********

The problem is how to get the standard error and output into the "out2"
file.

I want to run the script in batch mode (at/batch) and have the output
sent to a file. In VMS of course this is SOOOOO easy to do, but I am
going round and round with this script!

I tried simply submitting the script using AT.

ie:

at -c -m -f /mis/sydmips/obj/compilemips.bat now

I've tried even ...

echo /mis/sydmips/obj/compilemips.bat | at -c -m now

or

at -c -m now < /mis/sydmips/obj/compilemips.bat

and in all cases I get either "ambiguous redirecting" or "line overfill"
or nothing at all!

I just can't get it to run and output the results!

The compilemips.qks is a simple collection of "use source.qks" lines.

Thanks in advance
