Closed as program error.
Error description
The client upgrade, from 9.0.787 to 9.0.835 on Red Hat machines (Fixlet ID 1687), failed while running the following command: Command failed (child exec() failed (errno is 13: Permission denied)) wait /var/tmp/besclientupgrade (action:333970) The command failed because, for this path, there is the noexec limitation as suggested by NSA: http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/os/redhat/rhel5-pamphlet-i731.pdf. The Fixlet uses /var/tmp and expects to be able to execute binaries from this folder. The Fixlet will be changed to not use such path.
Local fix
Make a custom copy and change the actionscript in the following way: delete the line: wait chmod +x /var/tmp/besclientupgrade Change the line: wait /var/tmp/besclientupgrade to: wait /bin/sh /var/tmp/besclientupgrade
