Operating Systems AIX init not starting processes from inittab Post 302278405 by zaxxon on Tuesday 20th of January 2009 06:21:49 AM

I guess you checked the errpt?
Also checked "alog -f /var/adm/ras/bootlog -o"?

Since you want to put it into rc.tcpip, I guess that rc.tcpip is executed by inittab flawlessly, starting the stuff listed in there?

Maybe edit the line in inittab to:
Code:
cron:23456789:respawn:/usr/sbin/cron >> /tmp/cronlog.tmp 2>&1

and check if it writes anything to that file about the problems it has.

NAME
strclean - Removes outdated STREAMS error log files SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/strclean [-d logdir] [-a age] FLAGS
Specifies a maximum age in days for the STREAMS error log files if this not the default age of 3. The value of age must be an integer greater than or less than 3. Specifies a directory for the location of the STREAMS error log files to be removed if this is not the default directory /var/adm/streams. DESCRIPTION
The strclean command cleans the STREAMS error logger directory of log files (error.mm-dd) that contain error messages sent by the STREAMS log driver (strlog). If no other directory is specified (the logdir argument), the command removes error log files in the /var/adm/streams directory. If no other age is specified (the age argument), the command removes error log files that have not been modified in 3 days. The strclean command is executed by the cron daemon on a periodic basis. EXAMPLES
To remove the day-old error log files from a directory called /tmp/streams, enter: strclean -d /tmp/streams -a 1 FILES
One or more error log file or files on which strclean operates. The mm.dd in the filename indicates the month and day of the messages con- tained in the file. RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: strerr(8), cron(8). Interfaces: strlog(7). delim off strclean(8)
