missing CDE
Good morning,

The previous admin turned off the GUI on boot on one of my solaris (5.8) servers. I am trying to get the GUI (CDE) back up. Does anyone know how to find this?

In /etc/rc2.d/ make sure there is a file (or link) called S99dtlogin.

S99dtlogin
There is no file in there with that name.

that is the problem then just copy it from an other machine that works right.

You can copy it from /etc/init.d/dtlogin:

Code:
cp -p /etc/init.d/dtlogin /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin

it is much better to make a link

ln -s /etc/init.d/dtlogin /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin

That way if you ever change it you only have to change /etc/init.d/dtlogin
