verify doesn't fix bogus directory entries. It will take care of "lost" files that it finds - files that exist without directory entries by either removing or creating links for them depending on the flag specified.

advfs does not have an fsck utility. There is a verify utility that can be run but I have not had it actually fix anything in the past (you're supposed to be able to recover or delete lost files). I am looking for a utility (like fsdb) that I can run that will allow me to update the directory...

One of our systems didn't unmount one of its advfs filesystems when it went down. The unfortunate side affect of this is the fact that the system was in the midst of doing a directory update. Now I've got a file that has a directory entry (with "inode") but the "inode" no...

Could you include some information about what's currently in the route table and the destination you're trying to reach? It might even be beneficial to run traceroute and see where the route has gone awry... Please note that "hosts" will respond to ICMP redirects and update their...

patch -v will tell you the system patch level.

The binary errlog files are Compaq's method of recording hardware related errors (and limited panic information). You can use dia, uerf, or ca to review the logs depending on the release that you are running.

There is a disk error on drive rz8 in partition a. This is most likely the partition that makes up your root domain. Check the binary error logs using dia, uerf, or ca depending on your version of DUX - it should report the exact block of the error so you can assign it out.

I haven't worked with HP_UX at all. My guess is that the IPL (initial program loader) has become corrupted (bad magic). The file systems that reside on the disk are OK and thus booting from alternate media and fsck'ing/mounting them works fine. I wonder if HP_UX supports rewriting the boot...

ulimit is a shell builtin. Under "sh" ulimit -a reports the amount of virtual memory a process can use (in KB). If you use /bin/ulimit -a it will give you a complete output of process resource limits (or you could simply fire up a ksh). Changing the amount of virtual memory that a...

/usr/share/lib/shell is where Compaq (DEC) keeps their shell "libraries". The script you are running is probably looking to include functions from one or more files in the directory. Is the directory present on your system?
