Can anyone tell me why I am receiving java "command not found" errors from the vtmenu and mkvterm commands? They work fine on my P5 HMCs. Here is what I see:

hscroot@nhcbl530:~> lshmc -V
Version: 3
Release: 3.7
HMC Build level 20060207.1
U808917: CVE-2002-0843: Apache Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (07-28-2006)

hscroot@nhcbl530:~> mkvterm
/opt/hsc/bin/command/mkvterm: line 26: java: command not found

This happens on several P4 HMCs. All are at the same level. Any ideas or suggestions welcomed.

I had the same problem after upgrading the HMC software on a p4 HMC. I'm sorry that I can't verify what version it was.

Anyway the cause of the problem was that java was not in the PATH.
To fix it I had to open a call with IBM to get root access then edit the PATH to include the java directory.

However, I would think that resolution would be included in a fix by now.

Hint: if you get your 24 hours of root access disable the restricted shell on your personal account so you can easily diagnose these problems yourself!

Good luck.
