A frequent cause of hanging in deeply nested process trees is exceeding your max process count. Check the entry in the AUTHORIZE database to see if that is your problem. In the scenario you describe, you have only cshell + vi + sh + command, but an analogous situation is a command in readnews like "s |mail someone" which uses cshell + readnews + sh + mail + a whole host of mail subprocesses. I find that I need a process limit of at least 10 to do much of anything under Eunice. Another possible limit you might be hitting is BYTLM.
