Bash script not working as I would expect

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules

Here’s my .bash_profile

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH
export GOBIN="$HOME/projects/bin"
export GOPATH="$HOME/projects/src"

What does ps aux | grep openhab show?

This is what I get from ps aux | grep openhab

Just to be sure: is that the .bash_profile from the root user?

25

Yes, that’s correct.

When the script actually runs from OH it seems to be missing the GOPATH="$HOME/projects/src". Might be because it runs as a command directly from OH without the full shell context.
I suggest to run a simple test script to show the environment variables when triggered from OH as well as some other basic info like user context.

You could try fully qualifying the command in the script.

Why? Do you realize that running openhab as root is not a good idea? It also has no advantages!

Tried that also, still no luck. I’m looking an alternative way, by using the Rest API.

If there are any further ideas around what I can do to resolve this issues, then please add your comments.
