QSH / WebSphere - WARNING!!!

["Haase, Justin C." <Justin.Haase@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

Learn from my mistakes.  Spent the last two days beating our heads against a
wall because we couldn't get a new WAS instance to create through QSH.
Then, once we did (found the TOUCH command was pointing to the wrong "real"
command via symbolic link), there were all sorts of other ones which were
messed up.

Lesson to be learned:  If you participated in a beta of QSH back in V4R2,
you will need to uninstall and re-install QSH or call IBM and have them give
you the script to change all symbolic links from pointing to the QSHELLUTIB
and moving it to QSHELL.  

Hope no one else learns this one the hard way.  Easy way to check - do a
WRKLNK, go to /usr/bin and check the symbolic links on the commands with a
12.  If they're pointing to /QSYS.LIB/QSHELL.LIB/(command) then you're okay.
Otherwise, get on the horn with IBM!  Have a great day.
