Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Operations Console
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The DSAppWatcher script must be run by dsadm. If it is run by
  root, it will re-invoke itself as the dsadm user. It does this
  via a 'su - dsadm -c...' command
  
  This su command includes '-' which means that it will run the
  users profile. This is not required and can cause problems
  depending on what is in the profile.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  At 8.7, apply the workaround documented in Circumvention.
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• This is fixed in release 9.1.
