Hi,

Please take the backup of /stand/current to /stand/current.old and copy the /stand/backup/current /stand/current then try to execute the kctune command.

Hi gurus,

Apologise for too late reply. I have got the answer long back.

Th file permissions of /stand/current directory should be world readable. So, that only enable other users to execute kctune command.

Although it is only advisable if your users realy requires to use kctune command.
