Forcing Encounter to run specific command in specific shell

Hi all,

We are using Encounter Foundation Flow to design our digital blocks.
It works good so far, but we had some struggles with the foundrys delivered hotcode/tech files.
After closing on these, we still got stuck with issues the foundry support could not help us:

The flow runs ok so far, until at the end at extractRC command, we get:

...
Exit code 0.
Cadence Quantus QRC Extraction completed successfully at 2017-Jul-26
15:12:44 (2017-Jul-26 13:12:44 GMT).
sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number
sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number

And the job is stuck there.
We were looking for quite a while now, but could not resolve it, neither we really got to the point to know what actually happened.

Is there a chance to run a very verbose flow, to see what happened? Or something where we can add "breakpoints", or specific commands while executing FF, to check what happens?
Or is the solution maybe quick and simple and you know it?

Please let us know what you think about it!

Thank you very much,
Adrian

    Ok, just as I posted the question, we found the answer (like we were looking for two weeks for it :| )
    The fix was quite simple - We changed the symlink of sh (/bin/sh) from /bin/dash to /bin/bash -> FIX!

    I hope this helps if others have the same issue.
