I understand that NCR UNIX versions 0103xx and 0201xx had problems with batch and that to date these problems have not occurred under 0301xx. As I am in the unfortunate position of not being able to upgrade for many months I will continue on with my one man crusade ;-) to try and find a way to live with these batch errors. The latest development is that I have recently installed a small script which is run by root CRON every hour. This script runs a program called ccf with fixed options. I have just received a message from CRON telling me that the program ccf was invoked with incorrect options. This is patently impossible. The interesting thing though is that the program ccf, displays the usage using argv[0]. The usage says "lpirun" instead of "ccf" !!!! LPI-RUN being another product which is being used on our systems but was not even mentioned in the script in question. The other interesting thing is that this new script is very similar to a previous script I have had in place for quite a while (with no errors) which runs every hour. The only difference I can see is that the new script redefines the PATH. PATH=$PATH:/usr/acct/coles/bin:/usr/acct/coles/ctl export PATH And also has a different current directory.

It sounds like 'ccf' is executing a program without calling it with a full pathname. And it's executing another file of the same that calls lpirun. -- Greg
