Operating Systems HP-UX Xterm display immediatly dies in hpux 11.23 Post 303011877 by drysdalk on Wednesday 24th of January 2018 08:13:40 PM

Hi,

First off, I've got basically zero experience with HP-UX. But if this were Solaris or Linux, the approach I'd take would be to start xterm via a system call tracer like truss or strace. The idea would be to capture the system calls being executed by xterm and see what fails (and with any luck, why). That would then hopefully give you some pointers as to where to look for the actual underlying problem.

Some Googling seems to suggest that HP-UX's native system call tracer is called tusc. So maybe start with looking at the man page for that, and go from there. Maybe someone who has actual real-world experience with HP-UX can chime in here too and confirm if this is indeed the best approach on HP-UX, and if so advise you exactly how to use tusc (or some other HP-UX equivalent to strace or truss) to investigate your problem.

Hope this helps.

NOTES

       strace-log-merge  does  not work well with strace logs generated by strace -tt invocation that pass midnight, as those lack the information
       required for the proper sorting.  Employing the -ttt option in the respective strace invocation should solve the problem.

BUGS

       strace-log-merge does not perform any checks whether the files specified are in the correct format and implies that only files from a  sin-
       gle strace session match STRACE_LOG.*  glob pattern.

HISTORY

       The initial version of strace-log-merge was written by Denys Vlasenko in 2012.

REPORTING BUGS

       Problems with strace-log-merge should be reported to the strace mailing list at <strace-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>.
