Hi,
Please could you tell me what does the dsjob return code 127 stand for?

Thanks,
Rager

You really shouldn't see anything over 99 but occasionally we do. Under what circumstances are you seeing this?

We are trying to run a sequence from shell script. It seems to be running fine from development environment but in UAT, the script is exiting with the return code 127.

I have never seen this before and not sure what this means. I think it is an issue with wrong parameters but was curious what the errorcode meant.

Thanks,
Rager

I've never seen it either and it's not a dcumented status code. Hold on, clarify something for me - does your script use "-jobstatus" or "-wait" to run the job?

It uses both...
dsjob -run -jobstatus -wait ...

You don't use both, you use one or the other. Perhaps that's contributing to it. Try removing the "-wait" and see, as the "-jobstatus" also waits.
