Error description
In 'rcleartool' non-interactive mode., either logon name or password is wrong. The prompt stays waiting at "Login Name:" prompt and does not return back to 'rcleartool' Example from ClearCase 8.0.1.7 C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\RemoteClient>rcleartool login -lname testuser -password teser -server http://localhost/ccrc CRCLI2008E Login failed; incorrect login-name or password. Login to server "http://localhost/ccrc". Login Name: so with incorrect user or password (we do nok know which one) it just asks again, it does not return back to 'rcleartool' again. The problem is that rcleartool program waits forever at this prompt.. It's not a big problem when a user is sitting in front of the screen and can type in username and password again. The problem show much more when a developer want to use a program that starts rcleartool. It is necessary that rcleartool terminates; the calling program can then parse the output of rcleartool and proceed As it is now, you can not start over with 'rcleartool prompt'..
Local fix
No workaround for this situation where they wish to have a tool to call 'rcleartool' and start over if login issues occur
