It's actually pretty simple.  Assuming you save the script under the /ifs filesystem, you'll never be able to run it directly with ./ifs/scriptname.sh .  Why?  Because /ifs is mounted with noexec, but running it with simply /bin/zsh /ifs/scriptname.sh works just fine and you can put it in cron that way if you want.  Just be aware that that cron jobs on Isilon are a bit different.  They have to be put into /etc/local/crontab.local .

isilon3-1# mount | grep /ifs

OneFS on /ifs (efs, local, noatime, noexec)

-------------------------------  A quick example:-------------------

isilon3-1# echo "isi_for_array uptime" >> /ifs/uptimescript.sh

isilon3-1# /bin/zsh /ifs/uptimescript.sh

isilon3-1:  4:55PM  up 4 days,  1:55, 1 user, load averages: 0.47, 0.40, 0.34

isilon3-2:  4:55PM  up 4 days,  7:12, 0 users, load averages: 0.37, 0.40, 0.34

isilon3-3:  4:55PM  up 55 days, 22:42, 0 users, load averages: 0.39, 0.39, 0.38

Make Sense?

Hello Chris,

Thanks for the reply…

OK I can do it this way… It is to go in a scheduler named Control M…

I just thought that I could put the zsh in a script without having to call it preface it with zsh…

Thanks for the clarification,

MB
