For the second week in a row, all my server schedules that call shell scripts started failing with the following Error in the event log:

Error 154 Schedule "<schedule name>" aborted; "<shell script name>" could not be found or is invalid.

Just started happening in the middle of the night last night. The only fix I could figure out last week was to reinstall the server. Any thoughts?

Quick Update: A restart of the box seems to have cleared things up.

Keeping my fingers crossed....

Well this issue has cropped up again a couple of times since early August. Most recently today between 11:30 and 12:00. Restarting the box seems to clear up the issue, but it then returns with in a couple of weeks. I am at a loss as to why this is happening. Any thoughts?

The error mentions a shell script name....

HI Vaughn,

It is not a specific script that is causing the problem. It is ALL schedules that use a shell script in pre or post flight that fail. Schedules that do not call shell scripts continue to work fine.

What are the permissions associated with the target destination of whatever it is that the shell scripts perform? Does FIleMAker Server have permissions for that?

Hi Steven,

Here are the permissions. I set them according to the documentation.

Darrin,

 

Did you ever solve this problem? I'm seeing this sporadically now and do not know why or how to solve it.
