Well, if you think about it it is much easer to have something to be a sleep and get into action only when needed. It takes the minimum resources and so keeping your system well up. If you're...

You might use the crontab again. You check for the files in the directory at certain times and if there is a file you perform your tasks on the file. Once done you remove the file and let the...

Thank you, gp

How do you or what is the setup to keep the (server) up from shutting down? It is not server yet but it might very likely become to serve few clients. But, once I get in in the morning its off. ...

Q for the admin guys,
When the server (Spark) is rebooted does a shell starts database, connection to database, and etc or would have to be the administrator log on as database admin and start the...

I have to admit. When we got the “Sun Ultra 5 Ultrasparc Driven” workstation, 400MHz, 20Gb drive, I asked my boss if should get Intel with Unix on it. But it is for the clients to show we have real...

You might try “Unix System Administration Handbook” 3rd addition from PH-PTR. It is an expensive book, $70, but includes Unix, Solaris, and Linux info. You might have to start with more then one...

As Neo says, you got access to much wider area of hardware and that is where it will pull out of your pocket. If you got the cheap Sparc you learn about the Unix. Messing with hardware comes at the...

if I may comment I would go for the cheap sparc. That's from my own exp.

somehow I created this thread that should be part of another thread "address in use". This is a good command 'ps -ef' as suggested in the other thread as well.
Thank you, George

merged threads...

Well, I verified all the addressing and I also ran the file system check command and when I rebooted the console worked fine finally. So, I hope that this fsck fixed the problem. How often the...

Yes, I do understand what you are saying and I look into the creation of the new profile. The thing is, that this is the same profile that was initially working fine and now it takes so long to load...

+PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/openwin/bin:/opt/NSCPcom:/etc:.
+ export PATH
+ tty
+ [ /dev/pts/4 = /dev/console ]

That's the output.
Thanks, George

Well, on the bottom bar I pop-up the selection from which I launch the console on solaris 8. The console or the window comes up but it takes 60 seconds (I just measured that) for the $ to come up....

any idea why that might be?
Thanks, George

Yes, this one does show all of them. Also, I just found out that the network guys changed the system servers and whatever else but they never told me that the initial addressing is absolute. I...

I had this problem before but it started working OK for a while. I can create a new profile but when I launch the console for that user it does not show the $ prompt. It shows for su and I tried to...

Well, I tried the ps but it does not show anyother processes except the commands I run. I just installed a software that runs off its console and when I go to another console to look up the running...

Well, I tried the ps but it does not show any other processes except the couple commands that I use. I am evaluating a software that is started from a console and if I close the console the software...

I get this message below and would like to fix it but I do not know how and where to look for it. Would anyone know how to fix it?
# Apr 4 14:53:23 unknown snmpdx: bind() failed on UDP port 161...

OK, I got the correct IP in the resolv.conf and correct IP in hosts. No I can start the browser since I can connect to the network but for some reason the console does not give me a prompt. It...

We just moved to a new office so few things changed on our LAN. I am on Solaris and trying to find the files that hold the configuration for connecting to the servers. I changed the IP addresses to...

I would like to create (out of user default) a generic profile that would execute one or more scripts that would initialize connection to database and/or start other deployment tools. So, every new...

You're very correct. It is the MBR problem. I'll do as you suggested and that is to reinstall the old BIOS.
Thank you very much.

Well I downloaded the latest BIOS from Dell since that is where the machine came from but now the system does not recognize any HDD so I am trying to figure out how to fix lots of hardware problems. ...
