Hi,

I tried to the following startup script that launches another script using the su command. It seems like the startup script is being executed but the script that is being called in the su command does not. When I try to execute the problematic script manually it works. Probably something stupid, but I can't figure it out. Please advise.

S98rvd:
-------

#!/usr/bin/sh
echo "before rvd" >> /test.txt
su - mind -c /users/mind/startrvd

echo "after rvd" >> /test.txt

startrvd
--------

#!/usr/bin/sh
echo "about to execute tibco " $MIND_TIBCO_HOME >> /users/mind/rvd.txt
$MIND_TIBCO_HOME/bin/rvd -permanent
echo "After executing tibco " >> /users/mind/rvd.txt
