hi everyone,

we have solaris 8 in sun v480 server.

it gives this error.

Segmentation Fault(coredump)

can anyone help me in this - urgently.

Regards

Karthik C

Try 'truss'ing the process - and see if that yields anything
Cheers,

can u explain what it will do

truss -wall -rall -vall -f lpstat

since because it is a production server and i am in client side

rgds
karthik C

man truss
So this is safe to do. You'll need to be root though...

Cheers,
ZB

after running this truss -wall -rall -vall -f lpstat.
