Remote SQL*Loader session won't die
We are creating some Unix (DEC/Compaq/HP) ksh scripts to move data to a remote system and then execute SQL*Loader (Oracle 8.1.6). Logging in on the remote system, this works fine. If the commands are executed from the command line using rsh, it works fine. But when SQL*Loader is executed through rsh, within a script, the load works fine, but the process doesn't terminate, just hangs. To add another wrinkle, going to a different machine works fine also, but the system administrator says there isn't any difference between the machines. And executing anything other than SQL*Loader works fine. I'm stumped and would welcome any ideas. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

RE: Remote SQL*Loader session won't die
Just a guess, but could your STDIN be redefined in the method that doesn't work and it's waiting for you to enter your username or something silly? Perhaps you could post the command(s) you're trying to use.

RE: Remote SQL*Loader session won't die
I have no idea why the same command would work differently on different machines if all other things are the same. Just a shot in the dark here: Sometimes rsh must be used with -n option (see man page.) Of course, you know using r commands is in hideous opposition to politically correct security and auditing requirements ... you know ... like the requirement that people to log in as CISTUM rather than SYSTEM. -Original Message- We are creating some Unix (DEC/Compaq/HP) ksh scripts to move data to a remote system and then execute SQL*Loader (Oracle 8.1.6).
