• Autosys Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

A job running on a UNIX/Linux agent fails immediately with an exit code of 1. No std_out or std_err files are created. When viewing the spool file with 'autosyslog -J <job_name> -t S', it contains the following error...

/opt/CA/WorkloadAutomationAE/SystemAgent/WA_AGENT/spool/XXX_SCH/MAIN/WAAE_WF0.1/XXXXX.XXXXXX_X.XXXXXX_wrapper.sh: line 3: /etc/auto.profile: Permission denied

Resolution

On the agent machine where the job runs, make sure /etc/auto.profile has world read permission. It must be readable by any user that owns a command job that runs on the agent.
