Remotely starting the CMS server using a SSH script in a Unix environment.

Question

Is it possible to remotely start a CMS server using a shell script which starts an SSH session and runs the startservers command asin the command below:
ssh -o ConnectionAttempts=2 -o ConnectTimeout=10 -l boadmin huxd0226 '/opt/BO/boxir2/bobje/startservers'
The command securely logs into the server (huxd0226) and runs the command described in single quotes.
the CMS server actually appears to start but then dies inexplicably and displays no errors in the trace logs. The full log file is displayed below:-

This is exactly the same as a normal manual startup of the CMS server except it dies at the loading of the db2databasesubsystem section.
Business Objects is patched to Fix Pack 3.6 and is clustered in a HACMP environment. It is a requirement that when the DB2 database fails, shortly after restarting it can automatically start the Business Objects services remotely.
SSH will work if the command is entered manually from within a secured session, but it is only when automated that the failure occurs. Does anyone have an idea on why this is happening and whether it is in fact possible ?

Answer 1

we're going to run into deep offtopic if we continue that line ))
But I believe there is a big push to get the forum format actualy working this time.
