Thanks for the files. Managed to copy cleantmp & codeset. Having problems with removing the invalid cron folder. I emptied its contents.
Problems: 1. Refusing to overwrite with cron file you sent. 2. Not sure why but when cd to it, it puts me into /dev/ttypdir. This is empty. 3. 'rm -r cron' fails with error 'rm: unable to remove directory cron: File exists (Error 17)'. 'integrity -e' now only complains of the cron folder. |

Try
rmdir cron If that complains that it is not empty, cd cron rm * cd .. and try again. Also see if ls -li cron returns a link to another file, then try deleting it instead. Is the system now running more or less normally? |

1. 'rmdir cron' refuses with 'Directory not empty'
2. cd cron, rm * then tried again still refused with same message 3. 'li cron' return 'total 0' and doesnt return a link to another file. 4. 'find /' as root still brings errors (screen fulls) as before. 5. 'cd cron' then 'pwd' shows '/dev/ttypdir'. 'ls -al *' shows its empty. 6. Tried 'mv cron /run/.' & 'mv cron /run/cron' fails with target (/run/./cron & /run/cron) not a directory. Not sure why i am redirected to this folder as the cron is not a link and properties are 'drw-r--r--' . What exactly is '/dev/ttypdir'?? The system is ok (Mon-Sat) but Sunday the /tmp got the huge crout file and fills up /root. It haapened again this last Sunday. I am sure it will happen again this Sunday since 'find /' not working. |

I checked a 5.0.5 system, and it has no file/directory named ttypdir.
If you haven't created your own jobs, the only job that would be run on Sunday (on the system that I checked) is /etc/cleanup. Disable it in /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/root. Then at least the system will not go down again. All that this job does is truncate some log files, and does a 'find' in order to remove any 'core' files more than 7 days old. Have you tried removing 'cron' from within /var/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.5Eb/etc/default, as opposed to /etc/default ? It may be time to re-install the operating system. |
