Issue/Introduction

We have installed the System Agent and also the Remote Execution Plug-in. Created a PROXY Job to a SHELL Script that complete with exit code 10. When we execute the PROXY Job, the job executed and completed with SUCCESS state and the exit code is 0. We were expecting the PROXY Job will failed with exit code 10. Note that the user defined for PROXY Job is setup with TCSH as the default SHELL. Refer attached for screens shots taken for the issue.

Environment

Workload Automation AE 11.3.6

Agent 11.4 SP1 on Linux Build 1933

Cause

The issue happens only for the remote user default SHELL is TCSH. We have done the following but it does not help.

1. Add the shell in the agentparm.txt oscomponent.validshell=/usr/bin/sh,/bin/csh,/bin/ksh,/usr/bin/ksh,/bin/sh,/bin/bash,/bin/tcsh

2. Execute the command as tcsh shell remote_command: "tcsh -c /home/darryl/jms/jms.csh"

Resolution

There is an agentparm property which can be set for tcsh jobs to work.

The property to set is as follows. proxy.envType.tcsh=csh

 Restart the agent and Ran the same job , it was working fine
