HP-UX

Hi, yes, it is a rack mounted system. The board connects directly yo the scsi which is mounted on the rack above. Used for process control calculations.

So...I've used

Code:

# umount /var

but it returns the error

Code:

Device busy

I've checked

Code:

ps -ef

but there are no processes running applications on /var
Is there any other way to unmount /var? Or is there a better way for me to use the command?

Sorry for the delay.. am very busy at the moment...
Now:
You must be in Single user first...
Then depending how you got there : init s will not give the same result as booting in single user, for many process started at boot time are still running like syslog etc that use /var ( /var/adm... )
So either you boot into single user with nothing mounted and you mount what is needed or you dont pay attention what is still running stopping you to umount in which case the following command will kill whatever:

Code:

 fuser -cku /var

Now umount should work...
Be user you are not one of the culprits in which case you will be thrown out...

Hi,

Thanks a mil for all the help, the project was put on hold, and I will try again once it's back online.

In the meanwhile, I've loaded a new box on unix(HP-UX 10.20). I've used the my backup to restore it. However, a third party product, called SMOC, doesn't start up, and complains that the scheduler (smocsched) needs to be running.

Unfortunately, I don't know the command to start this, please help.
My attempt below:

Code:

 
# cd users/axm
# ls
.Autost         .exrc           runsmoc         smocsched.lock
.cshrc          .login          smoc_sched.mbx  startsched
.environ        .profile        smocsched
# smocsched
sh: smocsched:  not found.
# run smocsched
sh: run:  not found.
# start smocsched
sh: start:  not found.
#

try ./smocsched
Can you type ll to see what perms we have here?

If this product has to start at boot time, if done correctly, you should have in /sbin/init.d a file to execute in a rc level ( most probable would be in /sbin/rc3.d )

I just seen you have also a startsched file, if its executable, give it a try:

Code:

./startsched &

Ok cool, will give it a try
