Symptoms
When trying to restart an instance the startso command seems to just hang and you see an error similar to this:
ErrorMsg: AwE-5107 awcomm connection error
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
Cause
This can be caused by having the remove command
rm
aliased as:
rm -i
This makes the command interactive asking for confirmation. Since our startup scripts create, then delete a file, it will hang due to the fact that it is waiting for a confirmation for the delete.
Resolution
Remove the alias on the rm command in the user's profile.
