Environment
RedHat Linux 6.x
Cause
Wrong shell configuration for root user in the /etc/passwd of the Linux server.
The user root had it configured to /bin/ksh as follows:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/ksh
It is unclear why this would not work, either ksh was not installed correctly or /bin/ksh was pointing to another shell like bash.

Resolution
Modify default shell to bash for every user that needs to launch jobs via Dollar Universe to /bin/bash.
Example for the user root:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
Else, ask your system admins to install properly ksh shell with latest version.
