Job aborting when special command is found

Hello:
Two of our scheduled jobs are aborting when these two UNIX commands are found

export HISTFILE=~/.hist.$(/usr/bin/tty | sed 's;.*/;;')
export JAVA_HOME=/usr

Please let us know why this is happening. Are some UNIX commands not supported by the 24 x 7 Scheduler?

Thanks in advance,

24x7 doesn't run your Unix commands. If you have a program type job, 24x7 simply invokes the shell and passes your command line to the shell. So from the scheduler point of view it doesn't really matter which commands you run.

If you need further help with this particular issue please try to provide more relevant details such as the error message from the job log, how the job is scheduled, whatever else you think might be important for us to know in order to understand what you are doing and what you are getting as a result.

Hello:
One thing I noticed is I can run same script in the UNIX machine (without using the scheduler) and it executes to completion. i'm running this job on the scheduler with the 'Run Now' button (i.e. it's scheduled to run when user wants to, not at specific time or date). This is the section from the job log that shows what happens when job aborts. Thanks again for all your help:

/export/home/dwidev/antonio/./dimension_load2,>,dimension_load2.log

Is this the command line you are trying to run?

No, the command is:

/export/home/dwidev/antonio/./dimension_load2 > dimension_load2.log

I did not set it up with commas(,). I'm not sure where the sceduler got those commans

What do you get in file dimension_load2.log after the job is run?
Is this an existing file?
Does the user associated with the job have permissions to overwrite this file?

File dimension_load2.log is overwritten every time the script is run. The user associated with the job has permissions to overwrite this log file. I'm including what was written in the dimension_load2.log the last time I ran it (some 'echo' commands):

****************************
**** Running pei_rdw4 ****
****************************

This looks like the job aborts before it starts running anything. Do you have a timeout set for the job? Is the result same when you uncheck "run as" options?

The job does not abort before it starts running. I was able to trace it and realized the job aborted when it encountered the command:

export HISTFILE=~/.hist.$(/usr/bin/tty | sed 's;.*/;;')

That is what I said when I first posted the question.

The timeout is set to '0' for this job.

I'm not sure where in the job setting I can uncheck "run as" options.
