the solution to my problem is that the operating system command setup is wrong in SM69. Go check that.

Hello,

in the external scipt you trying to start you shold define, which shell should by used for the command execution:

Let this be the first line of your script:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

(or any other shell)

The initial line "#!/bin/ksh" solved the problem for me.
