Frank - You are our new hero. I think we are going to name a cubicle
after you.
The problem was in the environment variable $SHELL afterall. KSH is
in /bin/ksh. The $SHELL variable was set to just "ksh" and kermit
couldn't find the shell to run the commands. By setting $SHELL to
/bin/ksh rather than just ksh (assuming that /bin was in $PATH) kermit
was able to find the shell and fork properly. The shell variable was
not properly defined by the admin. Everything works as it should now.
Again, thank you very much for the time and effort. It is greatly
appreciated.
