Group,

I have a strange problem and I'm stuck. I'm using a scheduler called
UC4 to start programs/scripts etc on solaris systems. The scheduler
has something called and executor on the solaris host which exec's
programs as root on UC4's behalf. The issue is that with the new
version of the executor, some programs hang; like EMC's symmir for
example seems to get stuck in a loop and truss shows it looping on
this...

close(28610643) Err#9 EBADF

I've written test programs to capture the environment of programs
started by the executor and I can't find anything different between
the new and old executors. Just looking for suggestions as to how to
go about troubleshooting this problem.

Thanks,
Vic

Re-install the old version of UC4!

If you have a machine that can be used as a test platform, it's best to
install on the test machine first. It avoids these embarrassing situations!

Thanks Richard. Of course I didn't put the new version in production.
It's in a test environment until it is proven to work. Right now I can
run job from the test env and compare results to production.
