Troubleshooting
Problem
The error, "qsh: 001-0014 Command * not found", is usually due to a missing symbolic link.
Symptom
The following error is reported even though the script does exist, has the execute flags on and you can list its contents with a cat command:
qsh: 001-0014 Command /mypath/myscript.qsh not found.
qsh: 001-0014 Command /mypath/myscript.qsh not found.
Diagnosing The Problem
For this example, the script is named /mypath/myscript.qsh.
If you get an object not found error, add the link by using the following command:
If you see that /bin is a symbolic link and you are getting the qsh: 001-0014 error, then take option 12 on the WRKLNK command to see what /bin is linking to. If it is something other than /usr/bin, then you have a decision to make. You can either remove the link (
List the first line of the script by using the head command in Qshell:
head -1 /mypath/myscript.qsh
Output that starts with #! is a shell directive instructing the default shell interpreter which shell program to use. For Qshell on IBM i, there is only one shell and that is /usr/bin/sh. It is not uncommon to see a shell directive though which is referring to /bin/sh: #!/bin/sh. This directive works if there is a symbolic link, /bin, which directs to the hard link, /usr/bin. To check that this link exists, run the following command from an IBM i command line:
WRKLNK OBJ('/bin') DETAIL(*EXTENDED) DSPOPT(*ALL)If you get an object not found error, add the link by using the following command:
ADDLNK OBJ('/usr/bin') NEWLNK('/bin')If you see that /bin is a symbolic link and you are getting the qsh: 001-0014 error, then take option 12 on the WRKLNK command to see what /bin is linking to. If it is something other than /usr/bin, then you have a decision to make. You can either remove the link (
RMVLNK OBJ('/bin')) and then add it back by using the ADDLNK command shown previously to create a symbolic link to /usr/bin. Or you can modify your script by removing the shell directive or changing it to #!/usr/bin/sh
