LINUX login confusion logname: no login name in spool Why ??

[Anon Anon]

I have a couple of ESP Linux distributed agents. They seem to work just fine. However when I view the spool I always find there is a line or two of of output right before the expected spool. Sometimes I see the below

logname: no login name
/etc/profile[67]: [: argument expected      

and sometimes I only see

logname: no login name

and these lines show up before the expected spool whether user is a local account on the box or not. I am a mainframer and am quite confused because I have never encountered this problem on any of my AIX agents.

I ran a test job to verify what my logname was and it turned out to be the same value I specified as user in the LINUX_JOB definition. Has anyone else seen this particular behavior. Thanks in advance. I am going to paste in my test application and the spool it generates which lists the environmental variables associated with my userid
