The "pts" number is the network id, as opposed to a "tty" on a serial connection that is assigned when someone connects to the server. Basically I want to keep the same process id assigned to a user when the network connection dies.

There is a program called "screen" for Red Hat Linux that enables users that loose a network connection to get their same pts number back when reconnecting, thus enabling not to loose were they were in an application. Is there any such thing for Windows 2003?

Thank you for your help. I was actually able to remove it by using the "reducevg" command.

I had a hard drive removed prior to be deleted from AIX. I am now unable to get rid of the PVID, as it doesn't show as a device, but does show when listing the physical volumes from smit. Does anyone know how to remove a PVID with no hdisk# attached to it? 0516-304 lsvg: Unable to find...

Thank you for all of your help. What happened was /var filled and about 5 services had stopped running due to that.

I am able to view the /etc/inittab, and make changes if needed.

No one is able to get into the system, even the console, unless they are already in. This happened in the middle of the day. I'm hesitant to reboot with anything referencing the inittab. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for the assistance.

I have a volume group that is mirrored with 6 drives, one of them is logging errors and needs to be replaced. My question is, is there a way to see what drive another drive is mirrored to, and which one is the primary drive?

Thank you for your help. I restored a full system save with the correct drivers and the tape drive is working now.

Most "ip" printers are considered remote. If you have the printer software loaded, I would suggest choosing "HPJETDIRECT", even if it's not an HP.... After you add the queue, you can go into Change / Show Print Queue Characteristics and change your cpi, trays to print from, and...

I am trying to make a defined tape drive available on AIX 5.2. The tape drive is a 3570 Magstar. Below is the error message I getting: # cfgmgr Method error (/etc/methods/cfgAtape -l rmt0 ): 0514-038 Error loading kernel extension. # lscfg|grep rmt + rmt1 U0.1-P1/Z1-A5...

Thank you for the information, I can't find a process with "remove pid", and I did a "find" and came up blank. I am now trying to find any new scripts that may be executing "removepid". Thanks!

The other cd's contain things that are not actually need for AIX to function, ie, Java, xwindows, printer drivers, etc. I would suggest going to "smit software" and doing an "update to latest level", which will go through more of the cd's and load any needed file sets...

I am getting the following on the console, and haven't seen this before, any input would be greatly appreciated! removepid: pid (XXXXX), has (2) copies where XXXXX is a changing number like 36190, 29052, 29048, etc. These are just examples of the numbers that roll across the screen...
