IV91151: SUN SOLARIS 10/11 BES 9.5.3 GOES INTO MAINTENANCE MODE AFTER STOP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Client start on Solaris may fail when executed on certain sh
  shells.
  Issuing the command /etc/init.d/besclient stop it may fail with
  the error "/etc/init.d/besclient: test: argument expected"
  
  The reason for this failure is that some shell does not accept a
  "-z" test when an empty variable is not enclosed by double
  quotes.
  
  Specifically in this case
  if  [ ! -z $ZONE_NAME ]
  and
  if  [ -z $ZSCHED_PID  ]; then
  
  should be changed into:
  if  [ ! -z "$ZONE_NAME" ]
  and
  if  [ -z "$ZSCHED_PID"  ]; then
  
  If the /etc/init.d/besclient stop command fails , the OS SVC
  puts the BESClient service in maintenance mode.
