Clearcase running commands from a script (error: Bad phone number)

I have a small shell titled xrunner.sh.

   
#!/bin/bash
ct checkout -nc parentFolder
cd parentFolder/
ct mkdir -nc directory
ct checkin -nc directory
cd ..
ct checkin -nc parentFolder
pwd

When the commands are run individually on the CLI they all work fine, When run from the bash however the following is thrown back at me:

ct: bad phone number -- parentFolder
ct: bad phone number -- -nc
ct: bad phone number -- checkout
: No such file or directory
ct: bad phone number -- directory
ct: bad phone number -- -nc
ct: bad phone number -- mkdir
ct: bad phone number -- directory
ct: bad phone number -- -nc
ct: bad phone number -- checkin
: No such file or directory
ct: bad phone number -- parentFolder
ct: bad phone number -- -nc
ct: bad phone number -- checkin

Would anyone happen to know why this is or point me to some web reference that explains this?

Solution

That means you don't have defined the alias 'ct' properly

add:

alias ct=/path/to/cleartool

Note: if you want to add a directory to source control, don't forget to call mkelem

cleartool mkelem -mkpath dir1 -c "a comment"

See "Command line add to Source control of a directory with files in a dynamic view returns Error".

Notes:

as this thread suggests, even if the alias is already defined, a ct setview won't allow further ct commands to work, because setview spawns a sub-shell. See for instance "Python and ClearCase setview" for more on setview.
So ct will work, except if you have further ct commands in a script after a ct setview.
Just for information, here the the man page for the /usr/bin/ct command

    ct(1)
    NAME
    ct - spawn getty to a remote terminal (call terminal)

The UNIX command "/usr/bin/ct" dials a phone number, where a modem connected to a terminal should be awaiting for the call, and then spawns a getty(1M) process to that terminal.
The "getty" process sets the terminal type, modes, speed and line discipline, and then invokes the "login" process, which in turn will execute a shell when a user authenticates correctly.
