Jobs launched with csh shell users Abort with Could not Submit

• CA Automic Dollar Universe

Issue/Introduction

When you install node with shell ksh / bash  and launch uprocs with csh/tcsh  users, the Jobs will fail.
Uproc will be automatically killed without any information in job log. 

In history trace we can observe:

20210212035912  *** TASK ENDED ABNORMALLY ***

Additionally, the issue can also occur if there is a CL_EXT uproc whose script path is defined using ${SCRIPT_PATH}/scriptname as below:

 

When the Uproc is launched with Dollar Universe via a submission account pointing to a csh user, it fails, but it works via the command line or using a ksh user.
