Re: {bb} bb-top.sh, bb-axis.sh

[Charles Jones <jonescr@cisco.com>]

The way I test bb scripts that aren't working are to become the bb user, 
and then give myself the same environment as bb:
1. su -l bb
2. export BBHOME=/home/bb  (or wherever it is)
3. cd /home/bb/etc
4. source bbdef.sh
5. source bbsys.sh
6. source bbsys.local

I now have the same environment as bb scripts do when they run...now I 
can do "cd /home/bb/ext", and run ./scriptname and observe what 
happens.  For really fine detail on what the script is doing, try "sh -x 
./scriptname".  Note that perl scripts (*.pl) are an entirely different 
animal and unless the author added a debug switch you are out of luck 
unless you know perl.

Good luck!
