Hi,

Last week I installed my dataguard scripts with a customer using MKS. I developed them on Linux and Solaris. No serious problems, except with dynamic generation of pathnames from database views (replace '\' by '/') and some colon-related problems when using rcp/scp (e.g. rcp ${SHOST}:D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\SID\SYSTEM01.ORA \ ${DHOST}:D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\SID\SYSTEM01.ORA ) doesn't work. replace D: by D= (and replace backslashes, of course), and all's fine.

I got ssh to work, although setting passwordless authentication didn't work. Because the customer has a closed environment, rsh/rcp was sufficient. Be aware that NTFS is needed to set protection for .rhosts and rsa/dsa private key files.

Success, Carel-Jan
