RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.3 OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 I am using swatch to monitor the vsftpd log and the secure log for FTP and SFTP inbound transfers then trigger a script to send the file outbound. When I use the sftp command to send a file outbound, I am getting "Couldn't wait for ssh process: No child processes" with a return code of 255. Here's the strange thing: swatch -> script2.sh -> sftp command -> fails with RC 255 swatch -> script1.sh -> script2.sh -> sftp command -> successful with RC 0 swatch -> script2.sh -> sftp command piped through tee -> successful with RC 255 Script1.sh is just a simple script that calls script2.sh with the same arguments that swatch passed from the log line.
