Bug semget failed for the semaphore
Hi Everyone

I am having trouble using fbackup under SAM in HP-UX 10.20. I'm trying to perform a full backup of the entire system and keep bombing out and I am not sure why. Below is the result from the SAM window showing that fbackup has failed

Starting interactive backup...
br_backup: Invoking fbackup. See /var/sam/log/br_log for details.
fbackup(1421): no history is available for graph file /etc/sam/br/graphKEAa24348 (below level 0)
fbackup(1004): session begins on Mon Nov 26 11:18:39 2001
fbackup(1010): semget failed for the semaphore

Press <return> to continue sam...

Here is the output of the /var/sam/log/br_log
Full backup started on preapp01 : Mon Nov 26 11:18:38 GMT 2001 (Scheduled Backup)
{ fbackup -0 -u -v -g /etc/sam/br/graphKEAa24348 -I /var/sam/log/br_index.full -c /etc/sam/br/fbackup_config -d /var/adm/fbackupfiles/dates -f /dev/rmt/0m } 2>&1
Full backup failed on preapp01 : Mon Nov 26 11:18:39 GMT 2001 .
Exit code = 2

And finally here is a breakdown of the drives
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol3 524288 17664 475032 4% /
/dev/vg00/lvol1 95701 20417 65713 24% /stand

/dev/vg00/lvol4 81920 26241 52250 33% /home

I hope that the above is of some use. I do not understand why fbackup crashes out and so any help would be most welcome.

Thankyou
Zippy

glutfullscreen

glutFullScreen(3GLUT)						       GLUT						     glutFullScreen(3GLUT)

NAME

       glutFullScreen - requests that the current window be made full screen.

SYNTAX

       #include <GLUT/glut.h>

       void glutFullScreen(void);

DESCRIPTION

       glutFullScreen requests that the current window be made full screen.  The exact semantics of what full screen means may vary by window sys-
       tem. The intent is to make the window as large as possible and disable any window decorations or borders added the window system. The  win-
       dow  width  and	height	are  not  guaranteed to be the same as the screen width and height, but that is the intent of making a window full
       screen.

       glutFullScreen is defined to work only on top-level windows.

       The glutFullScreen requests are not processed immediately. The request is executed after returning to the main event loop. This allows mul-
       tiple glutReshapeWindow, glutPositionWindow, and glutFullScreen requests to the same window to be coalesced.

       Subsequent glutReshapeWindow and glutPositionWindow requests on the window will disable the full screen status of the window.

X IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

       In the X implementation of GLUT, full screen is implemented by sizing and positioning the window to cover the entire screen and posting the
       _MOTIF_WM_HINTS property on the window requesting absolutely no decorations. Non-Motif window managers may not respond to _MOTIF_WM_HINTS.

       glutReshapeWindow, glutPositionWindow
