DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

When executing db2iupdt for a user instance that runs in csh, we 
get the following output: 
------ 
+ return 0 
+ /usr/bin/chmod ugo+w /db2/db2gbt/sqllib/ctrl/.cleandpf 
+ /opt/IBM/db2/V9.7_2/instance/db2iexec db2gbt 
/db2/db2gbt/sqllib/bin/rah ";/db2/db2gbt/sqllib/adm/db2iclean 
2>&1 
1>/dev/null " 2>&1 1>/dev/null 
Not a terminal 
Not a terminal 
Ambiguous output redirect. 
------ 
 
db2iupdt calls the db2iutil script. 
 
At line 2604 of db2iutil: 
---------------------------------------------------------------- 
${DB2DIR?}/instance/db2iexec ${INSTNAME?} 
"${INSTHOME?}/sqllib/bin/rah 
\";${INSTHOME?}/sqllib/adm/db2iclean 2>&1 1>/dev/null \" 2>&1 
1>/dev/null" 
---------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
At line 83 of db2iexec: 
PROFILE="source ${USERHOME?}/${SQLLIB?}cshrc >& /dev/null; $* " 
 
And at line 87 of db2iexec: 
/usr/bin/su - ${INSTNAME?} -c "${PROFILE?}" 
 
So the "2>&1" syntax is passed as is to a csh session where it 
cannot be parsed.
