SKILL function to output the result from lmstat command

tyanata

 Hell,

I am trying  to create SKILL function which outputs the result from lmstat command:

 

procedure(Lmstat_out()

    lmstat_com_1 = strcat( "$CDSHOME/tools/bin/lmstat -c 5280@<servername> -f Virtuoso_Multi_mode_Simulation | grep \"Users of Virtuoso_Multi_mode_Simulation:\"" )
    cid=ipcBeginProcess( lmstat_com_1 )
    ipcWaitForProcess(cid)
    ipcReadProcess(cid)
)

 

But the output of this function is empty - ""

Can you give me advice how to debug this procedure?

    Andrew,

    Thanks for the quick reply. I am using ICAVD12.2-64b.78 and sorry for the typo for function getShellEnvVar.

    It's strange to notice that the implementation using "tee" as well as "redirection operator" is working for you. Although I will be using "lmstat -a" for few of my requirements, I think it would not be a good idea to implement it using ipcReadProcess(cid) calls as the data buffer generated from this will be quite large, that's why I wanted to dump the output to a file.

    I tried implementing this by calling a perl script through IPC. Perl script consists of a "system" function which executes the same 'tee' or the 'redirect' operator. Still it is not working.

    Regards,
    Jay Bharti
