I need to run a shell script on windows that has psql commands. I installed bash and can run the script but the psql commands are failing. So, I installed the PostgreSQL on the windows machine in this location - "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\scripts\". There is a bat file in here named runpsql.bat that opens a psql shell. I can connect to my database when I run that bat file but how do I get it to do it from the shell script? Currently, my shell script has commands like -
psql -d db -U user etc but those throw a PSQL: Command not recognized error

There is a script located in following path
/usr/local/bin/subrun
The Owner & usergroup of above file is root
When I run above script locally using following command in BASH shell:
/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/subrun
It runs perfectly fine
But When I try to run same script remotely using following command in BASH shell:
ssh user#host /usr/local/bin/subrun
It throws an error :
/usr/local/bin/subrun: Command not found.
Question : How do I resolve this ? Does this has to do with 'root' (Owner & Usergroup of script)
PS: Also there is another script in the same location with different Owner & usergroup (for e.g. Owner : manager & Usergroup : admin). This script can be run locally or remotely without any issue
PS2: 'subrun' script file has following levels of permission '-rwxr-xr-x' (And I am not allowed to change permission using chmod. It says Operation not permitted
Since you run it locally as:
/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/subrun
rather than just:
/usr/local/bin/subrun
it's probaby not an executable file on either machine and so you should do the same when trying to run it remotely and use:
ssh user#host '/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/subrun'
instead of
ssh user#host /usr/local/bin/subrun
or make it executable on every machine by running chmod oug+x /usr/local/bin/subrun or similar on every machine and THEN you can call it as just /usr/local/bin/subrun on every machine.
Hi i have created a batch file (run.bat) that after execution connects me to UNIX server with help of plink. But issue starts from this point i have to execute a script after connection to my server the script contains a command sudo -l. After the execution i get the error as mentioned in subject can anyone help me on this issue ??
Batch File-:
"C:\Program Files\PuTTY" plink -ssh -pw Tos#12Ts w44dvftyw#caa1607UX009.wvd.abcd.net /opt/sieb/w44dvftyw/run.sh
Script file(run.sh) -:
#!/bin/bash
sudo -l
It says
sudo: command not found
But when i run my script normally on UNIX server it runs with no issues. What am i missing here to make it work this way please help.
Scripts such as ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile responsible for setting up the current user's PATH are run only on login shells.
Running sh -c 'somescript' (as performed by ssh host 'somescript') is neither a login shell, nor an interactive shell; thus, it does not gain the benefit of such scripts.
This means that additions to the PATH (in your case, /usr/local/bin) may not be present with commands run in this way.
Among your options:
Pass the PATH you want as part of the command to remotely run. This might look like:
plink -ssh user#host "PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin /opt/sieb/w44dvftyw/run.sh"
Embed a working value in the script you're running:
#!/bin/bash
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
# ...put the rest of your script here.
I am manually initializing a PostgreSql database in a directory using the following command in script file on Windows and Linux :
pg_ctl init -s -w -D ..\mydb
I want to check via a script that this command run only if database is not already initialized in that directory. Is this possible?
I try to execute an PSQL from shell, and the thing is - it returns the error "command not found". I have a shell script in which there're lines:
ID3=`more DATA/Id3.txt`
psql -h localhost test test -Atc "SELECT id, reference, timestamp FROM restricted WHERE id='`$ID3`'"
In the Id3.txt there's only the ID. When the psql command is written and executed direct through prompt - there's no problem at all and correct value is returned. When executed with a .sh file - error "command not found" is brought up. I have no clue why. Maybe anyone have a idea?
In your script try to add which psql to see whether you can find the executable
Run below command on your console: whereis psql
And then replace psql inyour script with the output of above command. This
