This looks like a program named mcserv that is not the one in McIDAS
is being run.  Yup, that's it.  If I logon as 'ldm' here is what I find:

ldm% which mcserv
/usr/local/bin/mcserv

This is not the case for the user 'mcidas', however, since the
/mcidas/bin directory is part of the PATH defined in 'mcidas's .cshrc
file.

By the way, what _is_ the appropriate shell definition file for 'gsh'?
Is it .cshrc or .bashrc?

I decided to see how 'lister' would need to be changed to run from the 'ldm'
account.  Here is what I came up with:

o since MCDATA, MCPATH, etc. are no longer defined in 'ldm's .cshrc file,
  they have to be defined in the script.  The lines were already in
  'lister', but they were commented out.

o next, mcenv, will source .cshrc if the SHELL for the user running it
  is the C shell (or TC shell).  Because of this, I always stick in
  some lines to change the SHELL to the Bourne shell:

SHELL=/bin/sh
export SHELL


The modified 'lister' script now reads:

#!/bin/sh

#
#   List all passes residing in a remote server
#
#   Must run this as user "mcidas"
#

SHELL=/bin/sh
export SHELL

MCHOME=/mcidas
MCDATA=/ldm/mcidas/data
#MCLOG=$MCDATA/XCD_START.LOG
MCPATH=${MCDATA}:$MCHOME/data:$MCHOME/help
PATH=$MCHOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/sbin
export MCPATH PATH

if [ $# != 2 ]; then
    echo usage $0 satellite dataType
    exit 1;
fi
data=$1$2

#
#   Now many passes to list
#
nPasses=30

mcenv <<EOF
  logon.k UMIA 6999
  imglist.k GILMORE/$data.-$nPasses || exit 1
  exit 0
EOF


The changes were:

1) add definition and export of SHELL
2) uncomment  MCHOME, MCDATA, MCPATH, and PATH
3) export MCPATH and PATH

Exporting of MCDATA and MCHOME is not necessary.  McIDAS really only
uses MCPATH.  I define MCHOME and MCDATA to reinforce the concepts
of where McIDAS is installed, and what the McIDAS working directory
(MCDATA) will be.

After making these changes, 'lister' runs correctly as the user 'ldm':

ldm% ./lister N15 GAC

For interest, I copied the original version of 'lister' to the
/mcidas/scripts directory and ran it from there as 'mcidas' with
no alterations.  There were no problems:

mcidas* cd /mcidas/scripts
mcidas* ./lister N15 GAC

It looks like, therefore, that you could simply copy your /ldm/gilmore
stuff to /mcidas and run the scripts from the 'mcidas' account with
no problems.  I didn't try this, so there may be a tweak or two that
is needed.
