We use SCO 6's built-in functions to create a bootable CD and tape image. Create Emergency CD o identify and configure CD (as root) cdrecord –scanbus vi /etc/default/cdrecord - change ide to the cd drive o Read/Write media must be formatted. Skip this step unless the CD is R/W - cdrecord...

As long as you're sure you want to delete the very first file/directory: rm -rf `ls | head -n 1`

Unfortunately, it's probably because I've tried everything else... I just hate that error: C compiler cannot create executables. Kinda makes you wonder what you'd download a C compiler for if it couldn't compile executables!?!? Building working gcc's for AIX4.# and SCO5.0.# was/is an adventure...

I just tried this today on a fresh (albeit ancient) SCO 5.0.4 install (VMWare server using http://aplawrence.com/OSR5/vmware_504.html) and rsync is working. ftp ftp2.sco.com cd /pub/skunkware/osr5/vols Download and install: autoconf-2.12-VOLS.tar automake-1.4-VOLS.tar gcc-98q2-VOLS.tar...

How is the printer set up? If LPD then change the IP in /etc/hosts and then: /usr/lib/lpshut kill lpd daemons /usr/lib/lpd /usr/lib/lpsched

If those time stamps are the times that your logging in then you definitely have a problem with the license manager. I remember having problems with node-locked licenses and such on 5.0.5 but it was a long time ago. The comment at the end of this post rings a bell...

Are you still getting this message in the syslog: tflexu sco_cpd: duplicate license #

Remove /var/spool/lpd/lp_savin if it exists. Remove 2 entries for lp_savin from /etc/printcap. /usr/lib/lpshut ps -ef | grep lpd (and/or lp) and kill the processes /usr/lib/lpd /usr/lib/lpsched lpstat -p (to make sure it's gone)

It looks like there's a duplicate SCO license on the network... Recreate or remove the lp_savin remote print queue We've treated any problems with SCO "databases" with authck -av cd /etc/auth/system mv ttys /tmp/ttys.bad touch /etc/auth/system/ttys chown auth:auth /etc/auth/system/ttys...

Do you see anything in /var/adm/syslog?

SCO VisionFS is kicking your server's tail... Does it always use this much CPU? Have you rebooted the server recently?

What does this command return: ps -A -o pcpu -o pid -o comm | sort -r | more

Have you enabled remote line printing? mkdev rlp

Booting Unix daily? That's just wrong... The syntax is definitely correct. Try 0 4 * * 1-5 /etc/reboot if it does the same thing then it's probably something in the server BIOS that is preventing it from coming back up.

SCO 5.0.7 and 6.0.0 cddev=`cdrecord -scanbus | grep CD-ROM | awk '{print $1}'` cdrecord dev=$cddev -eject 2> /dev/null 1>&2 Non-writable drives will produce a warning message that can be ignored.
