Ruth, testflags=MACNOEXECCAD,NODETACH
Looks like it is set to noexec. Can you change the test flags?

I can see the daemon does load, but it never actually starts. No errors are written to dsmerror.log . 'StartCad.sh' incorrectly reports it as having successfully started, as does starting the CAD from TSM Tools for Administrators, even though no PID is assigned. They both report the PID as '-', apparently due to this simple check found in both StartCad.sh and StopCad.sh: /bin/launchctl list | grep com.ibm.tivoli.dsmcad | awk '{print $1}' which returns whatever is in col 1, even if it's not actually numeric. If I manually check the entire list of loaded jobs, this is more clear, where jobs that are running have a PID assigned in column 1 (and can be viewed from 'ps -ef'); those which are not running, have no PID. Here we see the job's label, com.ibm.tivoli.dsmcad, as being loaded, but not running: sudo /bin/launchctl list | grep -i tivoli - 0 com.ibm.tivoli.dsmcad Client version 7.1.1.0 on Yosemite installs and starts the dsmcad without problems, so that's where we're staying for now. When I run the previous command under 7.1.1.0, I see this: 20149 0 com.ibm.tivoli.dsmcad which corresponds with the output of 'ps', showing the running CAD: ps -ef | grep -i dsm 0 20149 1 0 7:39PM ?? 0:00.11 /usr/bin/dsmcad -testflags=MACNOEXECCAD,NODETACH Has anyone tried the TSM 7.1.1.1 client/Yosemite combination with better success? I haven't found any technotes, APARs, etc. indicating this isn't a supported configuration, so I wonder if I've missed something along the way.
