HP-UX: Problem viewing directory with BDF...
Hi all,
When I use BDF command on this particular server, it outputs mostly normal stuff. However, there is one directory it can't read at all.
Also, it doesn't seem to exist.
When I BDF my file system with a small panic script (it happens even if you use just the bdf command):
Quote:
rtiadmin(izivanov):/home/izivanov> bdfpanic
bdf: /var/test: Permission denied
File System close to full - rtiadmin:/var/adm/depot is at 86%
As you can see the /var/test has a problem with permissions.
I went there to see if I can view the problem...
Quote:
rtiadmin(root):/home2/root# cd /var/test
sh: /var/test: Permission denied.
rtiadmin(root):/home2/root# ll /var/test
/var/test not found
Pretty weird. I doesn't even seem to see anything there. But BDF function see's it!
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks

bdfresize [-v] [-b number] [-[whf] factor] [bdf-file]
DESCRIPTION
Bdfresize is a command to magnify or reduce fonts which are described with the standard BDF format. If bdf-file is not specified, it reads

fied depending on the resize factor if the name is described in XLFD format. SIZE, FONTBOUNDINGBIX, SWIDTH, DWIDTH, BBX and some property
lines are also modified. Other lines are copied from source. If a syntax error occurs in a source font, bdfresize notices it and stops
the whole process.
