Hi Patti,

Way back in August 2007 Stan had reported this same issue, but there
doesn't seem to be a resolution posted.  I know how to use the CLI, but
that is not the issue.  Does anyone know the cause and/or the fix for
this error?  I have it on all of my RHEL4 clients, but not my RHEL5
clients.

125:nwrecover: unable to execute with hard links to binary
/usr/bin/nwrecover

I've seen this too on out 7.4.2 installation.

The problem is that on some systems, 'nwretrieve' is a hardlink to 'nwrecover', while it should be a symbolic link.

wrong situation:
# ls -l /usr/bin/nwre*
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root root 3196040 Apr  3  2008 /usr/bin/nwrecover
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root root 3196040 Apr  3  2008 /usr/bin/nwretrieve

correct situation:
# ls -l nwre*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3196040 Apr  3  2008 nwrecover
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      11 Jun 19  2008 nwretrieve -> ./nwrecover


To correct this:

# rm /usr/bin/nwretrieve
# ln -sf nwrecover /usr/bin/nwretrieve

after that, nwrecover will start...
