Unless you are running the VM GUI in debug mode ( pvcsvmux - d ), the stdout channel is closed because we are launching the GUI in background mode and want to reduce its chattiness. Unfortunately there are a number of critical error messages that are sent via stdout, all of which effectively fail to get displayed. Example:
Script started on Wed Mar 03 12:55:49 1999 $ pwd /app/vm510/vm/solaris/bin $./ pvcsvmux - d ---------------------------------- ... ------------------------------ THIS = ./ pvcsvmux
