missing CDE
Good morning,

The previous admin turned off the GUI on boot on one of my solaris (5.8) servers. I am trying to get the GUI (CDE) back up. Does anyone know how to find this?

In /etc/rc2.d/ make sure there is a file (or link) called S99dtlogin.

You can copy it from /etc/init.d/dtlogin:

Code:
cp -p /etc/init.d/dtlogin /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin

it is much better to make a link

ln -s /etc/init.d/dtlogin /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin

That way if you ever change it you only have to change /etc/init.d/dtlogin
