Last week our legacy SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 server started showing "panic" errors about bad blocks/sectors on hard drive. I ran the badtrack command which fully checked the disk, and it identified 2 LBA sectors as bad, and it was unable to recover some of the data. Apparently the lost data had something to do with the scoadmin functioning, because now scoadmin is "not found" when I try to invoke it from the command line.
My plan is to try and migrate the system to a VM and I have found a couple of ways to try - but before I do that I want to try and restore the data that was lost from my last backup tape. I also would like to connect via FTP from another LAN computer, so I can copy files over our network. Right now the FTP connection using the root account fails to let me login.
The main problems I'm having right now are not remembering how to do certain tasks from the command line. I ran an integrity check and created a report, but I can't remember how to print from the command line. I need to find out what printers are available and I don't know how to do that.
So here are my initial specific questions:
- what command to I use to show me what printers are available to print to?
- what do I need to do in order to allow my root account to login using FTP?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
