prodel does not work

Hi,

After we dumped the data and tried to delete the old (existing) database by prodel, but the "prodel" command did not work.

We shut down the database completely and applied command "prodel database_name". The result said "bash: prodel: command not found".

We tried the absolute path "/apps/progress/dlc/bin/prodel timeware" and the result was "prodel: dbutil was not found."

Please help. We are running: PROGRESS Version 9.1D and Red Hat Linux release 7.3
 
Results from "file prodel" and "ls -l $DLC/bin/prodel"


file prodel
prodel: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped


ls -l $DLC/bin/prodel
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13512 May 7 2002 /apps/tempus/../progress/dlc/bin/prodel
 
Sounds very much like a pathing issue to me.
The fact that the prodel command is executing when you type the full path to it but returns a new file not found message indicates to me that $DLC/bin is not in your Path, try adding it and see how you go.

PATH=$PATH:$DLC/bin;export PATH

Is the command you need to add $DLC/bin to your PATH
