Full Discussion: Serius ERROR on HPUX 1020
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Serius ERROR on HPUX 1020 Post 13651 by LivinFree on Tuesday 22nd of January 2002 03:07:31 AM

Have you checked the amount of free space on the / partition? The reason it might be working once you reboot it because on startup, many HP-UX systems will clean out tmp and other directories. I am very new to HP-UX administration, although I just got my hands on an old workstation running 10.20, and had a similar problem when I accidentally performed a runaway search that was dumping output to a file in /tmp... I filled up my root partition and bad things started to happen.

Also, did someone change permissions anywhere in the root directory? When I inherited this workstation, I pounded my head against the wall trying to figure out why non-root users couldn't log in... until I finally stopped looking at file permissions and checked the permissions of the / dir...

Also, I am not familiar with tombstones, but if you need them to, a HP CE/SE should be able to diagnose the problem... Also check syslog.log...

DESCRIPTION

       The program /usr/bin/chkstat is a tool to check and set file permissions.

       Multiple  permissions  files can be given on the commandline.  If the permission files contain multiple entries for a single file, the last
       entry found will be used.

   General Options
       --set, -set
	      This option enables setting the file permissions, the default is to check and warn only.

       --noheader
	      Omit printing the output header lines.

       --examine file
	      Check permissions for this file and not all files listed in the permissions files.

       --files filelist
	      Check permissions for the files listed in filelist and not for all files listed in the permissions files.

       --root directory
	      Prefix the files given in the permissions files by this directory.

EXAMPLE

       The command

	      chkstat -set /etc/permissions

       will parse the file /etc/permissions and set the access mode and the user- and group memberships each file listed. The format for the input
       file is

       FILEPATH OWNER:GROUP MODE

       and wildcards are not supported for the filepath. Lines starting with '#' and empty lines are treated as comments.
