mhist broken

[dd1]

today people complained to me that mhist is not working. They wanted to extract some history values from last month using the command:

[meg@megon01 ~]$ mhist -e "COBRA" -v "SC current monitor (A)" -s 190912.0000 -p 190912.0600 -t 3600

usage: mhist [-e Event Name] [-v Variable Name]
       [-i Index] index of variables which are arrays
       [-i Index1:Index2] index range of variables which are arrays (max 50)
       [-t Interval] minimum interval in sec. between two displayed records
       [-h Hours] display between some hours ago and now
       [-d Days] display between some days ago and now
       [-f File] specify history file explicitly
       [-s Start date] specify start date YYMMDD[.HHMM[SS]]

midas-2019-06 I get this:

hs_read() cannot read event, status 707
