IBM i OS/400 QSH - shell script

Question

I've got a startup/stop script provided for Tivoli Workload Scheduler in which it will start/stp[ the TWS services in IBM i.

    # CHECK ROOT USER
    WHO=`id | cut -f1 -d" "`
    if [ "$WHO" = "uid=0(root)" ]
    then
    su TWSSVC -c "/etc/rc.d/init.d/tebctl-tws_cpa_agent_TWSSVC stop"
    exit $?
    fi

    /etc/rc.d/init.d/tebctl-tws_cpa_agent_TWSSVC stop
    exit $?

Problem with this is that, in OS/400 the equivalent of root is QSECOFR, so I've amended the line

 if [ "$WHO" = "uid=0(root)" ]

to

 if [ "$WHO" = "uid=0(QSECOFR)" ]

then i got an error on the following line:

 su TWSSVC -c "/etc/rc.d/init.d/tebctl-tws_cpa_agent_TWSSVC stop"

 /TWSSVC/TWS/ShutDownLwa: 001-0019 Error found searching for command su. No such path or directory.   

How do I change to script such that, when it is QSECOFR, it will su into TWSSVC and trigger the start/stop script? I'm not very familiar with OS400. I'm triggering this script in qsh environment.

Answer 1

you can try the following;

sudo TWSSVC -c "/etc/rc.d/init.d/tebctl-tws_cpa_agent_TWSSVC stop"

Tell me how it goes.
