- i have been running a shell every night for about 2 years. when i
- ugraded the OS to NeXtStep 3.0, i started having this problem.
-
- the shell does the rsh and then does half of the next echo and then
- stops.
-
- this is the program.
-
-
- #!/bin/sh -x
-
-
-
-
- $UCB/rsh diva /usr/cleo/answer.sh
-
- echo '::::::::::back:on:amy::::::::::::::::' # stops halfway here.
-
- $UCB/rcp diva:/usr/cleo/csidata.dat /tmp/data.csi
-
-
- this is the output:
-
- {FS=":"}{print $1}
- HOURS=18
- + [ 18 -lt 4 ]
- + [ 154989 -lt 50000 ] #last line of answer.sh
- + echo ::::::
- ::::::
-
- notice the echo only does the first six characters. i've tried other
- characters and it only prints the first six. btw, this only happens
- durring cron, from a manual startup it runs right through.
-
- is this wierd or what?
-
-
- joe.
