After starting the SpectroSERVER process on Linux, the VNM.OUT and VNM.OUT.bak files located in the $SPECROOT/SS directory are not updated.
Release: Any version of Spectrum running on Linux
Component: SPCCSS
Incorrect permissions/ownership of the VNM.OUT and VNM.OUT.bak files.
When the SpectroSERVER is started, the existing VNM.OUT file is copied to VNM.OUT.bak and a new VNM.OUT file is created in the $SPECROOT/SS directory. If the SpectroSERVER was started as a user other than the user that owns the Spectrum installation, the file permissions/ownership may be changed causing them to not be created the next time the SpectroSERVER is started by the user that owns the Spectrum installation.
Doing one of the following will correct the issue:
-rw-r--r--. 1 spectrum spectrum 1947 Jul 15 16:17 VNM.OUT
-rw-r--r--. 1 spectrum spectrum 24439 Jul 15 16:14 VNM.OUT.bak
Start the SpectroSERVER as normal.
NOTE: Ensure the SpectroSERVER process is only started/stopped by the user that owns the Spectrum installation.
