[comp.sys.apollo] /etc/server on SR10.1 failing

turner@smart.sps.mot.com (Robert Turner) (01/26/91)

I was trying to use /etc/server to spawn a job on SR10.1 and it fails.
The details:
Invoking the program
    $ /etc/server -p do1

File do1
    #!/com/sh
    /com/date > yyy

File yyy
    Friday, January 25, 1991   10:25:34 am (MST)



Symptoms:
    On SR10.1 work seems to happen but the file "yyy" never gets created.
    On SR10.3 the /etc/server command as listed works.

Questions:
    Is this an SR10.1 problem? or and SR10.1 pilot error?
    Is there a patch to SR10.1 for this error if I can not upgrade my node to
    SR10.3 (due to third party software only on SR10.1)?


Thanks for any help,
Robert
