you could write a script that runs out fo cron, that ran /usr/bin/w every so often, and look at the user and idle fields. Then just kill off the user that was idle too long. crowe

metatool, in my experiences, has been flakey at best. If you have ever contacted Sun support about metatool, they groan in the background. (they seem to hate it). I would recomment using/learning the command line stuff if you want to use DiskSuite. Crowe

I would start by checking how many disks are REALLY in the system. (open the door on the 450). I dont think a 450 supports 23 disks, although it does support quite a few. It could be that these are dangling disk devices from previous disks. Once the number of disks is established, you will want...

Are there any serial connections to the server? It almost sounds like someone (or something) is sending a break sequence, causing the system to drop down to the ok prompt. crowe

write your script with functions, when you call your functions at the bottom, stick the command 'timex' in front of the function. Also, call your script with 'timex' in front. The value of "real" is what your looking for. crowe

since it is sun equipment, I'd go with what sun says crowe

call HP support (18006333600) they can direct you. crowe

looks like you need to pass your script a filename. So if your script is called passthrough.sh, here woul be the syntax. # ./passthrough.sh /etc/hosts this should print the /etc/hosts file to the printer port on the terminal you execute this from. crowe

HP has a product called PRM (Process Resource Manager), it allows memory restriction for a defined process. It is a licensed item ($$$) crowe

the purpose of the /etc/securetty file is to specify where root can log in. Many will put "console" in there, so that root can only log in via the console. However this does not stop anyone from su'ing to root. For example, if /etc/securetty has console in it, you could not telnet to...

It is a filesystem limitation. Which filesystem are you using (HFS, JFS, VxFS)? I believe that VxFS has a 1TB filesystem limitation. Also, there is probably some patches that might address this, so you might want to check out HP's site to see about that. crowe
