Title: HP-UX 11.23 ssh: who(1) -m option fails to display as expected Document ID: emr_na-c00996974-3 Submitted Date: 2007-04-17 20:01:19.0 Last Modified Date: 2008-06-30 17:49:48.0 You may provide feedback ( http://www11.itrc.hp.com/service/help/askQuestion.do ) on this document HP-UX 11.23 ssh: who(1) -m option fails to display as expected PROBLEM With HPUX 11.23 a "who -Rm" added to .profile fails to display as expected. For example, from the debug: + + who -Rm + cut -d: -f1 + sed -n s/^.*(\(.*\))$/\1/p DISPLAY=:0.0 CONFIGURATION Operating System - HP-UX Version - 11.23 Subsystem - ssh A.03.x RESOLUTION This problem has been identified as a timing issue in multiple versions of ssh A.03.x on HP-UX 11.23 and has been isolated to the -m option. Other versions of HP-UX appear to be unaffected. A fix is planned. The addition of a sleep(1) command has been found to work around this issue. For example: sleep 6 who -Rm ALT KEYWORDS ssh "who -Rm" "who -m" _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
