Solaris

Hi All,

I am facing this below mentioned issue, because of this i am not able send any mail using sendmail. no internet connectivity to server.

/etc/init.d/network: shcat: not found

Kindly help me in resolving this issue

shcat is a shell function implemented in the script /sbin/rcS which is called by init.

If you have to execute /etc/init.d/network manually, you can replace shcat with cat. I recommend to make a copy of /etc/init.d/network first, say /etc/init.d/mynetwork, and then make the changes in this file.

Network and sendmail are under SMF control (if you use Solaris 10)

try with this , it seems it is same problem

sendmail problem on Solaris 10

Since /etc/init.d/network does no longer exist under Solaris 10, we can assume the version to be < 10.

Yes Solaris 9 4/04, can you please help me in resolving this issue.

when i try to start network it is giving
bash-2.05# /etc/init.d/network start
Setting netmask of eri0 to 255.255.0.0
configuring IPv4 interfaces: eri0.
/etc/init.d/network: shcat: not found
/etc/init.d/network: shcat: not found

Thank you for your response, do i need to restart the server, because this is an NIS Master Server.

Try:

Code:

sed 's/shcat/cat/g' /etc/init.d/network >/etc/init.d/mynetwork
chmod +x /etc/init.d/mynetwork
/etc/init.d/mynetwork start

Yes, you may have to restart services depending on the changes you made. If you can restart the server, then you don't have to bother to create a copy of the network script.

hi, what this command will do sed 's/shcat/cat/g' /etc/init.d/network >/etc/init.d/mynetwork, is it going to replace shcat with cat
