Verbose output from tp and other commands

[michael_resnick]

Hi All -

We have several production environments (all RHEL) all using tp and sapevt for various activities. They all behave fairly well except our BW system. tp and sapevt on that system always spits out a ton of information when run interactively. If run via cron or at, there is no detailed output.

I've compared just about all I can see between the BW and other systems (environment, stms config, terminal settings, etc.) but cannot determine why I get the verbose output.

I've determined, by using ksh output redirection, that the output is coming from those programs writing to stderr. But why do I get the info on BW and not on other systems?

Anyone run into this before?

Here's (redacted) sample output from the sapevt command:

...and a bunch more...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
