osh(1) OSS Shell and Utilities Reference Manual
osh[10]: <stdin|stdout|stderr|fd
n> file pathname is not
OSS-openable
The file identified by pathname cannot be opened by an OSS environment open()
function call. The file must be one of the following for an OSS application to
open it:
• An unstructured disk file, a FIFO, or a Telserv window
• For stdin when the -osstty flag is not used, an EDIT file
• For stdin when the -osstty flag is used, a Guardian process or an EDIT file
• For stdout when the -osstty flag is used, a Guardian process or an EDIT
file
• For stderr when the -osstty flag is used, a Guardian process
If -osstty has been specified, OSSTTY was not launched. The OSS application is
not running.
Reenter the command but redirect the information for the indicated file to a file
that can be opened within the OSS environment.
osh[11]: unable to open child process, error
n: strerror(n)
The osh command detected an error while trying to open the child process and
send the child process a sequence of Guardian environment startup messages. The
Guardian file-system error n was returned. The meaning of that error number as
returned by the strerror() function is displayed.
Refer to the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual for an explanation
of the error and suggested error-specific recovery actions. A typical error is 201,
because the child process terminated as soon as it started. If this is the case, use
the -inspect saveabend option to create a saveabend file or the -debug option to
start the child process within a debugging tool.
osh[12]: Unable to run pathname, error ([errno,] n[,m]):
explanation
osh could not start the child process for the program file pathname. If the error
occurred in the OSS environment, the errno value returned is shown. The Guar-
dian process-creation error n was returned. The associated error detail m value is
also returned. An explanation of the error is given.
Refer to the following for an explanation of the error and possible error-specific
recovery actions:
• The display from the TACL command ERROR errno
• The process-creation error n and m descriptions in the Guardian Pro-
cedure Errors and Messages Manual
If the value of n is 111 or 112 and the value of m is 0, 1, or 2, the underlying
PROCESS_SPAWN_ procedure call was unable to open the standard files of the
OSS application. Check if any of the standard files specified is a Guardian pro-
cess or if the standard output file is an EDIT file. If either condition exists, reissue
the command with the -osstty flag specified.
