Installed FreeTDS and SQLSH.

Also had to hand symlink a misinstalled lib.
Logged in:
sqsh -S AFI
Did test select.
[2] AFI.AFI.1> select count(*) from afi.dbo.afi_detail_curr;

Did job submit:
[6] AFI.AFI.1> use msdb;
[7] AFI.msdb.1> EXEC sp_start_job @job_name = 'exp_hist_finder_sched';
Job 'exp_hist_finder_sched' started successfully.
