you don't have the basic directorys for the unix programs in your path. something like this:
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/bin

but i don't know what the other problem is. maybe the path to vi is not correct?!? i'm on solaris and don't know aix...

Because it's a ssh connection you have a massively restricted choice of options to use, but cheers for the help anyway Duke

you can set the path on your own! try this:

PATH=${PATH}:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH

vi /etc/hosts

Duke, I got the following error, do I need to try it a different way?

hscroot@ehchmc01:~> PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/bin
-bash: PATH: readonly variable

Why do you need to change the /etc/hosts file on the HMC anyway?

seems like the shell and the user is restricted... so you have to get "root" rights to do the job!
