Default port is not being used for dsjob command

I'm running the command

bin/dsjob -server -lprojects

and I get the error

Status code = 81016

If I run

bin/dsjob -server :31538-lprojects

it works fine

Any ideas whyI need to specify this port number ? - its the default port for the engine so shouldn't really be needed ( I think)

thanks

I would check /etc/services as this is where the dsjob command is looking for the ports (handy truss command).

If you are running multiple engines, upgrading etc and have switched the ports I would check for an old entry of dsrpc (even if it is now on a differing port). dsjob seems to have a check if you are running on the default engine, it will check for dsprc in the /etc/services (on tag installs this can be incorrect). Thus giving you your error of connection refused (81016).
