Issue/Introduction

Since robot version 9.40, evaluation of niminit command status works improperly.

In version 9.39 HF1 it was working but not after that.

In 9.39HF1 nimbus agent writes into file </robot/pids/nimbus-30.pid> PID even with the port number, afterwhile it calls ,,ps -p" with PID and port as well, on Linux systems it works and returns the correct value but on AIX it does not work. 

Environment

• DX UIM 23.4 CU1 or CU2
• robot (controller) 9.40 or higher up to Robot version 23.4.1.1
• AIX 6, or AIX 7

Resolution

• Fix planned in August-Sept. 2024.
• Copy of the corrected niminit.txt is attached
