i define a test with script, and the reply is "RMA: 301 - Script execution error: abnormal termination"

why?

I assume you are using Shell Script test method performed by RMA for UNIX?
Try to increase timeout specific for the test (Test Properties dialog). If this does not help, check your script for mistakes (loops).

thanks,

increasing the timeout value is rihgt. but why?

i think that: the test items always wait a reply from the shellscript within a defined time (timeout value), or the test items will reply "unknown"?

Correct. HostMonitor/RMA waits for result within specified timeout. If script does not respond within this time, HostMonitor/RMA kills script process.
