First I would make sure that other users can connect, and log in. If not, check the /etc/inet/inetd.conf on the server to see if FTP is enabled. [Solaris 10 check the "services" (svcs -a | grep ftp)...

This is great. But most of these Application Servers do wind up running, but 'not responding' from time to time. This usually requires actually formulating a test query of some sort, and checking...

Autosys is a "Batch Execution" package meant to 'enhance' cron and basically make UNIX behave like a mainframe. 'AUTOSYS' is a variable used in all the 'autosys scripts', that is set to the...

There is nothing wrong with your method. Whatever was changed on the server, SSH is no longer running. That is what the 'Connection Refused' means. The SSH port is closed. No daemon is listening...

I assume you find some 'off time', or a non-production machine and actually set the system clock to some time just before the time change is suposed to take place (after disabling cron). THEN watch...

One of the better (free) answers to your question(s).

What are you really trying to do ? What you describe is NOT a standard "shell environment".
What shell are you using ? Each different shell has a different syntax for setting environment...

Windows 2003 is not a true Domain server. It uses Active Directory (more or less LDAP). It can act as a domain server to XP, and be used by SAMBA (samba.org) as a domain server. *IF* it is...

Things may have changed since the last time I used HP/UX, BUT, Most UNIXs have a "listener" program sitting on the console of a machine (NOT an 'X' console !). Getty, mingetty, ttymon, etc.. If...

Assuming that you have the permissions set so you can write to "/home/tom/tmp":

$ cd /home/pavi
$ tar cf - . | (cd /home/tom/tmp;tar xfBp - )

If you have LONG filenames (over 100...

Write does just that. Writes what you type (ending the message with a "Ctrl-D") to the terminal of the user you want to send a message to. It is one-way.

Solaris 10 comes with some of the more insecure access methods shut off by default. The error message tells you the START METHOD won't work. I.E.: telnet, rexec (rsh/rcmd), etc., etc..

Well, to get to THIS site (and the other one) you must have "logged in" to some UNIX machine. [Or else the question should be put to a Windows site!]

So you are already "accessing your UNIX...

How about:

if [ -n "$found" ]; then
**commands**
else
**Other-Commands**
fi

Would that work for you ? Since the find command does return strings, just checking for a "non-zero"...

Removed. I was being an ass. Sorry, lack of sleep.

O.K., I'll give this a try.

Questions:

What error, exactly, is this user getting when they try to login ?
Are any other users having a problem with logging in ?
Are you using a "centralised...

In Sun's Solaris, they have a utility that keeps a checksum (I think it's a checksum) of all the files you have chosen to install from their distributions, and a command can check if a file has a...

This depends on how your mail is "set up". Do you have an ISP ? Does your "normal" email client connect to a remote server to send and recieve email ? Do you run your own mail server (it doesn't...

This depends on the shell you are using.

Shells that behave like the C-Shell use the variable: $status
Shells that behave like the Bourne (or Korn) shell use the variable: $?

These variables...

Yes.

Either be the owner of the file, or root.

You can also use "chroot", but this entails more work than is reasonably necessary for simple "file access".

What log files, exactly, do they need to view ?

What are they going to be "doing" with those log files ?
Just looking ? Gathering Statistics ? Finding explicit entries in the logs ? Graphing...

I am unclear as to why the 'passwd' command is not being used. It is executable by "users", and they can only use it to change THEIR password.

Do you want to "capture" their passwords when they...

I wasn't trying to be a smart A$$, just so you know.

Also, Perderabo has given one of the best short descriptions I've seen.

Which is the main reason I did NOT. :D
