We have been running 6.2 on a 3100 for nearly 2 years and haven't had to
do this. What version is it that has the problem?
Main problem we had was hanging on to environment variables and I think
they fixed that.

I wonder if your sourcing scripts problem is the the same issue we found
when we upgraded to vxWorks 5.5.2 - if you use the construct
ld < ioc.munch
in your startup script then all subsequent shell redirections to source
other scripts get ignored. The solution is to replace the above line
with this
ld 0, 0, "ioc.munch"
which permits later shell source commands to operate normally. I think
it's highly likely that Wind River broke both versions of the target
shell at the same time...
