here is the output when i try to execute as a non-root user:
./javathreads: line 2: /home/proc_threads/tempfile: Permission denied awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `/home/proc_threads/tempfile' for reading (Permission denied)
The script is running, but the 'awk' line is failing to read /home/proc_threads/tempfile. What are the permissions on that file and directory?
$ ls -ld /home/proc_threads $ ls -l /home/proc_threads/tempfile
Thanks all
I finally figured out that the tempfile that i was creating did not have proper permissions for the script to write into. Now i have fixed it using the chmod command and it is working fine.
Thanks Jatin
