When you sign on to a remote UNIX spawner with SAS/CONNECT software, the following error might occur:

Hello>Read error. 
Goodbye 
ERROR: Script file interpretation 
terminated due to error.
NOTE: End of script file trace.
ERROR: A communication subsystem partner link setup request failure has 
occurred.
ERROR: recv call failed, lost connection with client.
ERROR: Remote signon to host-name cancelled.

If the ELSDEBUG environment variable is set, you will see the following information in the spawner output:

Read Timeout
Error spawning child process, message is Communication error with launch server%ð
ERROR: Cannot start remote process.

You need to check the size and date of the elssrv module in the !sasroot/utilities/bin directory to make sure you have the latest version. If you cannot determine whether you have the latest module, contact SAS Technical Support for help.

If you do not have the latest version, you need to install it during the UNIX setup from the setuid directory. See SAS Note 17313 for more details on running the setup.
