I have a shell script which works wonderfully at the command line but
doesn't work correct in a batch job.

if [ -f /SYS/OPERATOR/joblist.txt ] ; then
  rm /SYS/OPERATOR/joblist.txt
fi

callci "SHOWJOB JOB=@J > /SYS/OPERATOR/joblist.txt"
callci "SAVE /SYS/OPERATOR/joblist.txt"
grep "$1" /SYS/OPERATOR/joblist.txt
export grep_status=$?
rm /SYS/OPERATOR/joblist.txt
if [ $grep_status = 0 ] ; then
  callci "SETVAR JOB_EXISTS 'y'"
  echo Job running.
else
  callci "SETVAR JOB_EXISTS 'n'"
  echo Job not running.
fi

When run from the command line the command (callci "SHOJOB JOB=@J >
/SYS/OPERATOR/joblist.txt") pipes the output of showjob to the temporary
file.  However when run in batch the showjob output is sent to $STDLIST
instead of the temporary file.  I execute the script by typing "SH -c
/SYS/OPERATOR/JOBCHK parm1"  where parm1 one is the jobname that I want to
look for.  I also tried "RUN SH.HPBIN.SYS;INFO="/SYS/OPERATOR/JOBCHK parm1"
with the same results.

Thoughts?  Comments?  Criticism?
