My Radio Applet and converted TCL script do work -- but they still get a few errors . .

Question

OK, the end result is good and all the attached radios are shown in the Sho-Run and the interface bandwidths are being changed to reflect the true line rates of the radios:
event manager environment 2400_TX_Rate 243 Mb
event manager environment 2400_RX_Rate 151 Mb
event manager environment 2400_Signal -40 dB
event manager environment 2400_Noise -89 dB
event manager environment 2400_Distance 0 Miles
event manager environment 3500_TX_Rate 151 Mb
event manager environment 3500_RX_Rate 146 Mb
event manager environment 3500_Signal -46 dB
event manager environment 3500_Noise -92 dB
event manager environment 3500_Distance 150 Miles
event manager environment 5800_TX_Rate 261 Mb
event manager environment 5800_RX_Rate 251 Mb
event manager environment 5800_Signal -46 dB
event manager environment 5800_Noise -90 dB
event manager environment 5800_Distance 0 Miles
event manager environment 900_TX_Rate 117 Mb

Do I just need to tell it to exit instead of merely letting it complete?
It says that it abnormally ends:
10   98     Actv abort    Tue Dec 3 14:35:37 2013  timer watchdog    applet: Radio-Rate-ReaderTWO
It only takes about 16 seconds to run:
*Dec  3 14:03:37 UTC: fh_set_epc_pid: EEM callback policy Radio-Rate-ReaderTWO has been scheduled to run.

Here is the Applet.  When I convert to TCL I get the same "Actv abort".

Answer 1

Given the order of the syslogs, I'm guessing that we're looking at multiple instances of the policy running.   Since you're allowing them to run for 60 seconds and scheduling them 60 seconds apart, that's probably the case.  My guess is that some of the SSH sessions are not providing a match to the "assword:" pattern, and thus these policies are hanging awaiting the prompt until they are terminated.  I would check to make sure you don't see some other pattern on various runs of the SSH command.
