Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers SCO OpenServer 5 Will Not Boot Post 303027527 by jgt on Monday 17th of December 2018 03:15:05 PM

i would start with the following:
1. compare the files in /etc/rc2.d and /etc/default in both machines. this is where services are started, and various system defaults are stored.



2. run
Code:
 

cd /etc
ls -l |grep -v @

This will list files in /etc that are not part of the operating system.
3. run
Code:
cd /etc
ls -lt |more    # or into a file

The purpose of this is to list files that have modification date newer than either the operating release date, or the installation date.
Rrun scoadmin ->software manager ->list modified configuration files.
Modify the .profile of the application user so that the user is not logged off if the application fails. The .profile may contain the following last lines:
Code:
exec application
or
application 

exit

Either remove the word exec or delete the line exit.
If when you then run the application, if any files are not on the VM system, you should recieve a 'file not found' message when the application fails.
