[U2] Mysterious UV Error

2012-08-17 Thread Jeff Fitzgerald
I have a client who's seeing a very odd UniVerse error. Any thoughts about it would be most appreciated! This is a UNIX server running AIX 5.3 and UniVerse 10.2.7. The UniVerse home directory is at /u1/uv - the following command is entered at the UNIX prompt: # /u1/uv/bin/uv COUNT VOC the

Jeff, the Universe accounts can also have other LOGIN type records in their VOC, there could be one for the account name and one for the user name too. Maybe those are doing something strange? -Dianne On 8/17/2012 3:46 PM, Jeff Fitzgerald wrote: I have a client who's seeing a very odd

Hi Allen, Thanks for your thought. It does look like that, except the same error happens with any command - TIME, DATE, etc. all produce the verb 60 not in your VOC message Jeff On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 2:02 PM, Allen Egerton aeger...@pobox.com wrote: Hi Jeff, Almost sounds like perhaps

I know this may be really stretching, but is there an ON.EXIT VOC entry that is interfering with it? -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Fitzgerald Sent: Friday, August 17, 2012 4:16 PM To: U2

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

I'm on UV 10.0.2 and RHEL unix The command works find as typed. (are you physically typing it, or running a script?) I use the following script: cat /usr/local/xeqtuv #!/bin/bash if [ $3 = ]; then cd $1 ; /usr/uv/bin/uv $2 else cd $1 ; /usr/uv/bin/uv $2 $3 fi Usage: xeqtuv SOURCEDIR

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

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

I think that Robert made a good guess. Any site that has a c program spawning this could also have custom code testing the terminal type. What happens if you us /u1/uv/bin/uvsh COUNT VOC instead? -Rick -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org

I just wrote a routine to grab the LISTU output (Universe on Windows) and sort it by date of logon, and then time of logon. I'm going to also allow it to be sorted by the process id, and by the user name. Has anyone already done this? I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone is willing

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. JayJay Sent from my iPad On 17 Aug 2012, at 21:33, Rick Nuckolls r...@lynden.com wrote: I think that Robert made a good guess. Any site that has a c program
