Rick, Your response was spot on - the site does use device licensing and it appears uv is outputting some characters that result in the error. Using uvsh seems to be a viable workaround.

Re: [U2] Mysterious UV Error
Are they using terminals or PCs? Are they using an ADDS or WYSE emulation regardless of if they are using terminals or PCs? The reason why I am asking is because I used to have a similiar error at one place where they had WYSE50 terminals. There is a character sequence on those terminals that if printed to the screen causes the terminal to report back the model number of the terminal by entering them into the input buffer. I think it was ESC SPACE . If you print this sequence to the screen and you have a WYSE50, it would enter a 50 for you at TCL which would then say 50 is not a verb or something like that. Same goes for WYSE60. This is just a clue. I would rule out control characters at this point. Robert Norman .

Re: [U2] Mysterious UV Error
I'd use the truss command as root from AIX. Open a new window as root (sudo is fine), then determine the pid of the sh at the other window (ps will give you that). issue a truss -pf from the root window (the f will follow all of the forks), and watch as truss reports every system call made to AIX. The output will be a little bit large somewhat cryptic, but I have the rosetta stone on my desk at work, so if you paste the output into a doc send it to me, I'll be happy to take a look. It's possible that the issue won't be apparent because it occurs entirely inside uv programming (you can execute some lines of code without making a system call), but since it only occurs when instantiating uv from the aix prompt, there's probably something to see.

Re: [U2] Mysterious UV Error
Like Diane and Drew, if this sort of error happens on ANY command, then your issue is with the login and logout logic. You can have an ON.EXIT that's true, but you can also have an ON.ABORT which may be triggered when an odd event causes the session to Abort in Universe. Not only can you have a universal LOGIN, but you can have an account LOGIN and a VOC entry with the same name as the account as well. You can also have a setting in the UV.USERS (I believe) or perhaps the UV.ACCOUNTS which directs some specific event whenever any item tries to get into that account. Try to log into that account with a standard TELNET session, set your capturing on for the session and then review the log to see if any messages are whizzing past. -Original Message- From: Jeff Fitzgerald j...@fitzlong.com To: U2 Users List u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Fri, Aug 17, 2012 1:26 pm Subject: Re: [U2] Mysterious UV Error Hi Drew!

Re: [U2] Mysterious UV Error
Thanks, all, for the suggestions! Lots of good thoughts here! The client is in the UK and they're closed for the weekend so can't do any more testing for me until Monday morning. I will have them check into the things that have been suggested and report back... Robert - good though on the terminal wackiness; I'm pretty sure the error happens when scripted too, but well worth looking into some other emulations, etc. Dan - I thought a truss was something us old guys wore when we had hernias! ;-) I'll try what you're suggesting; sounds like a great tool! Drew - uv alone works fine, no problems. Rick - Thanks, I will pursue the uvsh tip! Really appreciate all the help - have a great weekend, all.

Re: [U2] Mysterious UV Error
Try a COMO and see if it's coming from a terminal ENQ response. Also worth checking if uvsh has been aliases at the Unix level.

Re: [U2] Mysterious UV Error
Starting the COMO from UV might be a trial under the circumstances; but the Unix script command could fill in. btw, using .../uv/bin/uvdls COUNT VOC gives me Verb 6 is not in your VOC Uvdls is the device licensing version of uv, and it does send a sequence of characters (and backspaces) to the terminal, in an attempt to retrieve the device IP address. Of course, this only works on wintegrate and Dynamicconnect (I think). The actual resulting visible message seems to have some variance in it, and 60 is certainly within scope. At uv 10.2, the uvdls executable is about 900 bytes longer than the uv executable. If the client has device licensing, odds are good that uv was replaced with the uvdls executable. -Rick -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of John Jenkins Sent: Friday, August 17, 2012 2:35 PM To: U2 Users List Cc: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Mysterious UV Error Try a COMO and see if it's coming from a terminal ENQ response.
