MTA or POA fails to load when loaded from the Cluster Load Script

MTA or POA does not load using the Cluster Resource but loads fine manually

POA fails to load but MTA loads twice using the Cluster Resource

ERROR: "/usr/sbin/rcgrpwise: line 288: ${len}: substring expression < 0" while using rcgrpwise script

If the Domain or Post Office name has a number in it and there is a file matching that number in the directory from where "rcgrpwise " or "/etc/init.d/grpwise " script is run, an error "/usr/sbin/rcgrpwise: line 288: ${len}: substring expression < 0 " is seen and if the MTA or POA is loaded from cluster, it fails to load or sometimes loads one agent twice without loading the other agents

 

Domain Name - mygw2dom

Post Office Name - mygw2po.mygw2dom

The Domain and Post Office Name has number 2 in it and if a file called 2 is created in the / directory and "rcgrpwise status " command is run from the / directory, it would fail with the above error message. However, if "rcgrpwise " script is run from any other directory it works fine. However, when the MTA/POA is loaded from the Cluster, it switches to / directory and runs the start/stop commands from there. This would cause the MTA/POA not to load or to load one agent twice

 

Workaround is to remove the file that matches the number in the Domain/Post Office Name from the / directory. In the above example, file called 2 would be need to be removed from / directory

OR

 

Run the "rcgrpwise " commands from any other directory that does not have a file that matches the number in the Domain/Post Office.
