Hi Paul,

Within the scheduler log we got the return code number "9" returned by
the scheduler. Afterwards you will get a listing from the AIX-scheduler
log:

11/04/96   11:29:14 Next operation scheduled:
11/04/96   11:29:14
------------------------------------------------------------
11/04/96   11:29:14 Schedule Name:         M086_CMD_TESTNODE2_MON1200
11/04/96   11:29:14 Schedule Name:         M086_CMD_TESTNODE2_MON1200
11/04/96   11:29:14 Action:                Command
11/04/96   11:29:14 Objects:               /usr/local/bin/test_adsm.sh

11/04/96   11:29:14 Command will be executed in 48 minutes.
11/04/96   12:17:14
Executing scheduled command now.
11/04/96   12:17:14
Executing Operating System command or script:
   /usr/local/bin/test_adsm.sh
11/04/96   12:17:14 Finished command.  Return code is:
   9
11/04/96   12:17:14 Scheduled event 'M086_CMD_TESTNODE2_MON1200'
completed succe
ssfully.
11/04/96   12:17:14 Sending results for scheduled event
'M086_CMD_TESTNODE2_MON1
200'.



The script /usr/local/bin/test_adsm.sh does the following:

LOG=/usr/local/log/test_adsm.log

echo `date` >$LOG

exit 0


The script above never wrote any date to the LOG file.

Thanks for taking place to my problem,
Werner
