Does anyone know how the scheduler agent submits jobs under Digital UNIX ? I
looked in the documentation and saw no valuable information.
For example, when I have the piprod account run a job in the lpprod account,
here is what I get in a ps -ef listing (excerpt)
What bugs me is the "- -c /var/sched/sched_agent_job_script.ksh (sh)" entry.
What is the '-' process ? What command could have triggered such a process ?
I understand that the scehduler agent probably run under the name of root
and starts the processes in the target user acount but how can it arrange to
have the targets .profile to be processed ? The rsh command does not seem to
source the profile....

Does it use su, rsh or what ? I'm wondering which mechanism is used. This is
a low priority request, answer my question only if you have the time to do
so, I'm just curious...
Another question:
Suppose a user does not set the PATH in it's .profile (assuming he uses the
Bourne or Korn Shell). Who sets the default path to /bin:/usr/bin ? Looking
at the /etc/profile only shows that the PATH variable is exported but NEVER
set. Does the "login" program set a default PATH to /bin and /usr/bin (which
on my system are the same) ?
Many thanks
