It sounds like the 'nohup' command on Solaris 8 now behaves the same
as AIX 4.3.3. It is looking for additional input from stdin. Try this and
see if it works :
nohup /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched -pass=<password> >/dev/null
2>&1 </dev/null &

        the "</dev/null" is the only significant change.
