Operating Systems AIX AIX 5.3 Using sudo to control smit Post 302578423 by tharrieswk on Thursday 1st of December 2011 12:17:55 PM

Thanks everyone for your input! With your help, and others, I have been able to resolve this issue. To resolve the shell issue, I set environment variable SMIT_SHELL for root to 'n'. To resolve the other issues, I had to configure sudo to do 'su' to root and then execute the smit command, e.g., su - root -c /bin/smit hacmp.
