I need advice about the following:

option 1

I run the script /usr/local/bbp/api/bbpinstaller.pl from /var/tmp directory in my Linux machine and there are no problem

option 2

I create new script – script.pl under /var/tmp

and then I create link from /var/tmp/script.pl to /etc/rc3.d/S99script.pl ( by ln -s )

so S99script.pl is link to /var/tmp/script.pl

and script.pl execute the /usr/local/bbp/api/bbpinstaller.pl

 more /etc/rc3.d/script.pl 


 #!/bin/bash 


 /usr/local/bbp/api/bbpinstaller.pl

    By default the os perl is /usr/bin/perl which has all its modules in /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/perl5/site_perl. Since running the script via rc3 uses root’s standard path and standard lib, it won’t find your custom perl in /usr/local/bin and thus won’t find your site-lib in /usr/local/lib. So you need to modify your calling script “/etc/rc3.d/script.pl” which is a bash script (should probably be call script.sh but that’s symantics) to include /usr/local/bin in the path, ie: export PATH=/usr/local/bin:${PATH}. That’ll pre-append the /usr/local/bin to the front of the PATH and then your perl in /usr/local/bin will be called instead of /usr/bin/perl. So change the script.pl to:

    
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:${PATH}
/usr/local/bbp/api/bbpinstaller.pl

    or call your script with your perl.

    #!/bin/bash

/usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/bbp/api/bbpinstaller.pl
