am using ESMValTool (1.1) on Ubuntu(16.04) on Windows 10 WSL,
I downloaded NCL(6.4) from anaconda (Conda-forge). After
ESMValTool installation (clone from GitHub), I ran the test
runs for SA-Monsoon, which ran without any major error(fatal),
I have attached the screenshot below for some warnings which
were thrown. Now, I am trying to run other namelists and it is
throwing errors in many NCL scripts and after looking into the
errors from each script, it is always due to systemfunc
command.</p>

systemfunc command randomly returns "missing" as output to the
assigned variable and this causes errors in toint and logical
operations.</p>

this, I ran the test-SA-Monsoon namelists again and two of
them also give systemfunc related errors. So I deleted the
ESMValTool directory, uninstalled Ubuntu and reinstalled
everything again(same process). again, test runs ran fine
whereas while running namelists other than that the errors
related to systemfunc cropped up.</p>

searching online, I found out about default shell of Ubuntu is
dash and systemfunc tries to invoke Bourne shell by "/bin/sh"
and in the recent versions of Ubuntu /bin/sh refers to Dash
instead of Bash. So, I tried adding "bash -c 'cmd' " as shown
on NCL website but that didn't help.<br
style="box-sizing:border-box">
when NCL is run from the command line the same systemfunc
command works.</p>
