[p4] trigger NOT executing at all

[Weintraub, David]

HINT: add the following to the end of your Trigger definition:

 something change-content //... "/bin/sh -c '/bin/echo hello;
/bin/badcommand' 2>&1"

The 2>&1 will copy any message that is being displayed on STDERR to
STDOUT. This way, you'll see any OS error messages that you may be
getting (for example, bad license, can't log in, etc).

For some wacky reason, Perforce displays STDOUT and only STDOUT when a
trigger fails. It really should be displaying STDERR and not STDOUT when
a trigger fails. That way, we get these OS errors and Perl die
statements when something goes wrong.

I have tried all of the following

something change-content //... "/bin/sh -c '/bin/echo hello;
/bin/badcommand'"

something change-content //... "/bin/sh -c '/bin/echo hello' " 

something change-content //... "/bin/sh -c '/bin/echo hello;'"

something change-content //... /opt/home/p4d/p4/1.sh

and definition of 1.sh

#!bash
echo 'hello world'
exit 0


keep getting
validation failed. No error message.

P.s. how about:

something change-content //... "/bin/sh -c '/bin/echo hello;
/bin/badcommand'"

my perforce trigger is not executing at all. I am sure its something
related
to env setup but I don't know which settings are wrong.

Just to debug, I have removed my trigger script and specify simple
command
in trigger definition.

 I am specifying

something change-content //... "/bin/echo 'hello world';
/bin/badcommand"

 

I want to make sure my trigger is executing and looks it not executing
at
all.

 

I keep getting "validation failed. no error message"

 

I am lost. Any help is greatly appreciated
