Summary
While running a pre-job or post-job script on the client server, it appears that the script is running fine, however the output it produces does not get sent into the job log as expected.
Symptoms
On the client node, look at the *.rtl log file that corresponds to the running of your job. Opening this job shows you the output that was produced from your script. It shows an error log line similar to:
Fri Feb 9 04:44:29 2007 SNBRTM5709I Logger initialization failed (rc = 11002)
Resolution
The problem is that your client machine is not able to connect back to the logger process on your master server in order to send the script output.
The most common reason for this is that your client node cannot resolve your master server IP address based on the server name that it was sent. This can be corrected by either updating your DNS server such that the client can ping the master by name, or by altering your system's static host table with the IP/name pair needed to ping back. The static host table is typically found:
UNIX: /etc/hosts
Novell Linux OES: /etc/hosts
Windows: system32\drivers\etc\hosts
