It looks to me like your .bashrc or associated profile is referencing
unitialized environment variables. This tends to issue a message like you
are seeing. One way around this is to put your environment variables being
used in test "[ ]" inside of quotes. For example,
Change
if [ $XYZ = "this" ]
to
if [ "$XYZ" = "this" ]
However, for your scripts to work right you are going to want to find out
what is not being set and why. As I recall, rsh does not run the same set
of scripts as when a body logs in. This may be part of it. It might also
be that the items being tested are defined locally and not remotely.
Hope this help,
