5055.0. " Can't execvp when running STM Listener" by LICAUS::LICAUSE (Al Licause (264-4780)) Thu May 13 1993 09:21

    V1.3 SSB on ULTRIX with DECnet/OSI V5.1.
    
    When attempting to run the LAN Autotopology option and selecting the
    listener option, the following error occurs:
    
    DECterm: Can't execvp /usr/bin/mcc_stm_listener_menu
    
    A full listing shows the following:
    
    #ls -l  /usr/bin/mcc_stm_listener_menu
    lrwxr-xr-x  1 root           66 Apr 15 14:10 mcc_stm_listener_menu ->
    /home/mk1/
    mako/v1.3/kitELU130//usr/mcc/mmexe/mcc_stm_listener_menu
    
    I've tried a chmod of this file, but it fails.  
    
    I'm still an ULTRIX novice and I suspect this is probably a very simple
    issue, but I didn't notice anything specific here in the release notes.
    
    I may have missed something, but any help appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    Al

    The file in /usr/bin is just a link to the real executable.  Do an ls
    -l on the file the link is pointing to.  
    
    Also, the execvp failure message out of decterm is usually accompanied
    by a perror of the specific error returned from execvp - is there
    any other info available?
5055.2The link is badQUIVER::HAROKOPUSThu May 13 1993 11:5612
    Yuk.  It looks like we blew the soft link on this one in the kit
    procedure.   The following commands should fix it for you:
    
    cd /usr/bin
    rm mcc_stm_listener_menu
    ln -s /usr/mcc/mmexe/mcc_stm_listener_menu
    
    Give it a try and let me know if it works.
    
    Thanks,

    I'll get this information to the service people so they'll know
    how to patch it when customers have this problem.
