BPXM018I
BPXBATCH FAILED BECAUSE SPAWN (BPX1SPN) OF /BIN/LOGIN FAILED WITH RETURN CODE return_code REASON CODE reason_code

Explanation

The system encountered an error while running BPXBATCH.

In the message text:
return_code
The failure return code.
reason_code
The failure reason code. For an explanation of the return code and reason code, see z/OS UNIX System Services Messages and Codes.

System action

The system ends the program.

Operator response

None.

System programmer response

BPXBATCH requires program /bin/login.

Programmer response

Look up the return and reason code to determine why the z/OS® UNIX system services callable service spawn (BPX1SPN) failed. For a SH request through either the BPXBATSL entry point or BPXBATCH with _BPX_SHAREAS=MUST, the user must be a superuser (UID=0). This is important because some processes, including running the shell, use programs like /bin/login that require a UID=0. Programs requiring superuser access can only run in shared address space mode if the address space itself is running UID=0.
