I recently updated a machine to DU 4.0D plus patch kit #2.
I am now having a problem with rsh chopping off the end
of the output from a remote command. It seems like the last buffer of
output is lost. I am mainly looking at the stderr output, so
it could just be a problem with losing the last buffer of the
remote stderr.
An example of a command would be:
rsh XXX "(/sbin/dump 5f - /dev/sda6 | exit)"
I applied the "Patch: Networking Commands And Utilities Correction "
(OSFPAT00008600425) which seems to be made for this problem:
Another problem this patch fixes is rsh not catching SIGPIPE. When
SIGPIPE was received, rsh would immediately exit without cleaning up.
Is there another patch for this problem, or a workaround?
