Re: copy command - something not found

Thank you for the reminders, John. I changed my .z file extension to
.tmp and removed the trailing / from my pre-defined directory path.

I'm still getting the same results as before though after changing the
.z file extension to .tmp.

The ${DBNAME} and ${HOSTNAME} variables are input at run time. Here is
usage format:
### Usage: copy_data.sh rfc_name db_name [db_host]
Note: [db_host] (hostname) is optional with default localhost, which is
what I'm using in this particular case.

My actual input at execution time was this: ./install_db.sh RFC-00001
stp
This script calls the copy_data.sh script.

${CSVPATH} is: /home/dbzone/stp/rfc_db/RFC-00001 (after removing the
trailing /)

If it is something like "~/mycsvs" then ${CSVPATH}copycmd.z will expand to "~/mycsvscopycmd.z". Most "PATH" environment variables don't end in a /, perhaps you need "${CSVPATH}/copycmd.z" ? Also, as an aside. most UNIX files which end in .z are compressed, IIRC. Make sure the contents of the file are plain text.
