i have been running a shell every night for about 2 years.  when i
ugraded the OS to NeXtStep 3.0, i started having this problem.

the shell does the rsh and then does half of the next echo and then
stops.

this is the program.


#!/bin/sh -x
 
 
 

$UCB/rsh diva /usr/cleo/answer.sh   

echo '::::::::::back:on:amy::::::::::::::::'       # stops halfway here.

$UCB/rcp diva:/usr/cleo/csidata.dat /tmp/data.csi


this is the output:

 {FS=":"}{print $1}
HOURS=18
+ [ 18 -lt 4 ]
+ [ 154989 -lt 50000 ]    #last line of answer.sh
+ echo ::::::
::::::

notice the echo only does the first six characters.  i've tried other
characters and it only prints the first six.  btw, this only happens
durring cron, from a manual startup it runs right through.

is this wierd or what?
