Hi!
I would like to use /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/bash as shell in unixcmdoa.
There's references on a "raw" option - any examples available on how to use this?
Thanks!
Stefan

I don't think the raw option is what you're looking for. With raw, whatever you pass as the command is treated as a program to load and run in the spawned job. I don't think there's a way to make that work for what you're trying to do.
Take a look at the pipe_open() subproc in UNIXPIPER4. Find the code that looks like this:
Code: Select all
select;
when myType = 'Q';
arg(1) = '/qsys.lib/qshell.lib/qzshsh.pgm' + x'00';
arg(2) = '-c' + x'00';
arg(3) = cmd + x'00';
argc = 3;
when myType = 'P';
arg(1) = '/qsys.lib/qp2shell.pgm' + x'00';
arg(2) = '/qopensys/usr/bin/sh' + x'00';
arg(3) = '-c' + x'00';
arg(4) = cmd + x'00';
argc = 4;
other;
arg(1) = cmd + x'00';
argc = 1;
endsl;
It seems to me that you want to add a 4th option thats 'B' (for bash) . It would be a copy of the 'P' code above, except replacing the /qopensys/usr/bin/sh shell with your path to bash.
Once you've added that, you'd edit UNIXCMDOA and add a 'bash' type in there that translates to 'B' before calling pipe_open().
