DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC69414 Status: Closed

SOME DATA NOT COLLECTED BY DB2COS / DB2FODC SCRIPTS IN DB2 V9.5 ON SOME
LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS DUE TO ARGUMENTS TO SORT

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
The collection of some data in the db2cos / db2fodc script may 
not work for all Linux distributions due to different 
requirements in handling arguments to "sort". 
 
The current scripts include a call to sort such as: 
sort +5 -rn 
 
That syntax will work on SUSE Linux; however, some distributions 
(such as Redhat) require the "-k" option to be included so that 
the syntax would instead be: 
sort -k +5 -rn 
 
 
The result of this is that some data may not be collected (such 
as ps output): 
$ cat pself.fullstack 
 11:33:02 up 1 day, 12:09,  6 users,  load average: 128.84, 
126.31, 119.53 
sort: open failed: +5: No such file or directory
