Hi all
I try to execute SSH commands on several hosts in a while-loop.
There seems to be a problem with file-handle, first cycle works correct but no other one will follow due to the while condition is false even that there are many more host entries (lines) in all_hosts.dat.

Hi Thinkers,
On AIX 5.3, we have a monitor program that reads the log file and searching for a certain string pattern that we define(say "transactionException"), if it sees it then it will raise an alert by sending an email.
Because the log file XXX.log is rolling into XXX.log.0, XXX.log.1,... (2 Replies)

nswapdev
nswapdev(5) File Formats Manual nswapdev(5)
NAME
nswapdev - maximum number of devices that can be enabled for swap
VALUES
Default
Allowed values
DESCRIPTION
Swap devices are managed in a table for easier indexing in the kernel. sets the kernel variable responsible for the upper limit on this
table, and thus the upper limit to devices which can be used for swap.
Who is Expected to Change This Tunable?
Anyone.
Restrictions on Changing
Changes to this tunable take effect at the next reboot.
When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised?
If another swap device is added to the system which would increase the number of devices above and returns to the caller (see the swapon(2)
manpage).
What Are the Side Effects of Raising the Value?
More devices can be added to the system, and the kernel will need a little more memory for the table. A small performance side effect of
the kernel having to scan more devices to check for a duplicate device during is also true, but realistically negligible.
When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered?
Only if you are sure the system will never go over a certain number of swap devices, and you wish to lower this tunable to save a small
amount of kernel memory and kernel performance during operations.
What Are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value?
No side effects other than the primary and presumably desired new limitation on the number of swap devices.
What Other Tunable Values Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
None.
WARNINGS
All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific. This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of
HP-UX.
Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values. After installation,
some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values. For information about the effects of installation on tun-
able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed. For information about optional kernel software that was
factory installed on your system, see at
