Could it be a problem with LIBPATH perhaps load of zib or libssl is failing and causing the ssh binary to not execute.

Shell is ok with #!/bin/sh

./fubar is there. It's /no/such/file that is missing. Very misleading error message though.
Hello, Thanks for replying. Initially, I thought it was a problem with my shell script that was originally written in csh. I then modified it to to Bourne shell. Both /bin/sh and /usr/bin/sh are there as files and not links. The 2nd hint was it tells me exactly which line in the script caused the "not found" error. It was at the line where /bin/ssh was called. I did further tests by doing a "file /bin/ssh" within the script and that too gave a problem (and again, only sometimes). The main difference is that when I ran the script in an interactive shell, there is no problems at all. And the problem occurs if SAP program calls this script, and for that matter, fails about 30% of the time. Regards J Phang

Hello, Thanks. In this case, it didn't get as far as executing the binary. It went splat when the script looks for ssh in /bin/. Thanks anyway J Phang

is SAP running in a chroot jail? if so you may be looking at the wrong /bin/ssh

Hi, I will need to find out how to determine whether it is chroot or not. Thanks. It didn't strike me. Now to do some homework. Cheers J Phang

Check the inode of / to detect chroot. "ls -li /".
