Questions regarding a PANIC situation
Hi,
Last week, we experienced 2 KERNEL PANIC error on our SCO Unix 5.0.7 server within a 2 hour span. So I called our sofware support which is OGC using running on an Informix Database. Within 5 minutes I had as answer that the problem was an Hardware issue. Since the server is supported by another supplier, I then called them. They told me that such of a problem could be software as well. Not only hardware like the SCO site posts here.
Why did my UNIX kernel "panic"?
They mentionned for example that a FTP command could make the server PANIC! So I went back to the OGC software provider and told them that we couldn't find any evidence within logs and everything of the source of the problem happened that day. So How you could tell me in 5 minutes that it was an Hardware issue? They answered that software means SCO Unix, NOT their software!!!!
So my question is: Is a PANIC error could be the result of a software function or programming synthax or command other than the OS itself? Assuming it's not hardware of course.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
All,
How can you sort a file that is doubled space ( where even number lines are blank lines) and still preserves the blank lines?
You can use grep,sed and regular expression.
Thanks

log::report::util
Log::Report::Util(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Log::Report::Util(3pm)
NAME
Log::Report::Util - helpful routines to Log::Report
INHERITANCE
Log::Report::Util
is a Exporter
DESCRIPTION
This module collects a few functions and definitions which are shared between different components in the Log::Report infrastructure.
FUNCTIONS
escape_chars(STRING)
Replace all escape characters into their readable counterpart. For instance, a new-line is replaced by backslash-n.
expand_reasons(REASONS)
Returns a sub-set of all existing message reason labels, based on the content REASONS string. The following rules apply:
REASONS = BLOCK [ ',' BLOCKS]
BLOCK = '-' TO | FROM '-' TO | ONE | SOURCE
FROM,TO,ONE = 'TRACE' | 'ASSERT' | ,,, | 'PANIC'
SOURCE = 'USER' | 'PROGRAM' | 'SYSTEM' | 'ALL'
The SOURCE specification group all reasons which are usually related to the problem: report about problems caused by the user, reported
by the program, or with system interaction.
example: of expended REASONS
WARNING-FAULT # == WARNING,MISTAKE,ERROR,FAULT
-INFO # == TRACE-INFO
ALERT- # == ALERT,FAILURE,PANIC
USER # == MISTAKE,ERROR
ALL # == TRACE-PANIC
parse_locale(STRING)
Decompose a locale string.
For simplicity of the caller's code, the capatization of the returned fields is standardized to the preferred, although the match is
case- insensitive as required by the RFC. The territory in returned in capitals (ISO3166), the language is lower-case (ISO639), the
script as upper-case first, the character-set as lower-case, and the modifier and variant unchanged.
In LIST context, four elements are returned: language, territory, character-set (codeset), and modifier. Those four are important for
the usual unix translationg infrastructure. Only the "country" is obligatory, the others can be "undef". It may also return "C" and
"POSIX".
In SCALAR context, a HASH is returned which can contain more information: language, script, territory, variant, codeset, and modifiers.
The variant (RFC3066 is probably never used)
unescape_chars(STRING)
Replace all backslash-something escapes by their escape character. For instance, backslash-t is replaced by a tab character.
SYNOPSYS
my ($language, $territory, $charset, $modifier)
= parse_locale 'nl_BE.utf-8@home';
my @take = expand_reasons 'INFO-ERROR,PANIC';
