Could it be connected with directory /usr/lib/X11/scologin ? It contains procedures for starting the graphical X session - starting login, window manager, X desktop etc. Look what kind of error messages in file. Could be wrong configured X system - X server cannot open the the display, or some...

Exact name is haltsys. It is front-end procedure to uadmin command, which, according man ADM uadmin "is not for general use". You can see # vi /etc/haltsys Shutdown is front-end procedure to /etc/init, primarily init 0. Most concern is to inform users for near end of operation of server...

I think the product HA cluster was withdrawn from SCO Openserver line. Now it is available for SCO UnixWare, as I remember.

How did you maintain IP adresses for this net of 3 hosts and PC's ? Are you using DNS or just /etc/hosts or else ? How did you change the IP address ?

How many users you have and applications they are running ? In most cases the answer is "yes, it worths".

well, at last found it - command to lock a process to CPU is lockpid

a little more ornate version ;) Somewhere I meet such much better script, but now can not remember where it was. Or did they include such command in the standard distribution of SCO 5.0.7 ? : # @(#) killusr.sh 1.2 92/06/20 # # Cansel all processes of user # Script is similar to killterm # #...

Why not to try to make from /data one big cpio file and backup it. If needed restore the file from media and then cpio will restore all files with exact names. I also make many tries to restore long names, but no luck. cd /data mkdir /tmp/iso find . -print | cpio -ocvmd...

stanhubble, you right, my question is not very clear. Accessing the OS on-line documentation via port 8457 is very good. I succeed to add documentation to it (for Java) and index, and search, very nice. So I decided to add also our application program documentation, currently in .nroff. But...

Hi, Many years (two decades) I was quite happy with nroff format of our program documentation. But modern times press us :) :) Is it possible to have one format for printed and online documentation in SCO - say html ? Yes, there is something like man2html, but it works bad with macros. And...

Hi, I installed Java 1.4.2_12 on SCO 5.0.7 + MP4. It supports mouse wheel, it works in most widgets. Except, for scrolled lists :( If cursor is anywhere on scrolled list and just roll the wheel, the program crashes with those nasty stack dump. You can see the dump : www.noac.biz/HS_ERR.LOG...

I'm not sure if there is version for UnixWare, but try u386mon. At last I don not know better utility for OpenServer. Use it since 1995. There is also src code available. Small, usefull utility !

hi, eyedoc1975, I'm really happy I was helpfull. To load 5.0.7 you have to prepare FD using another file, think XX:\diskette\scsi\openserv.img I check it, it works, 5.0.7 load it. The file is on IBM CD, packeted with server. Also could be find on IBM site, but one have to dig a lot :) Rule is...

Where to find the usefull monitor program named u386mon for OSR6 ? The last version is 2.74, 1995 on ftp://ftp.sco.com/tls/tls012.cpio.z But it do not compile for OSR6. I used to use it almost decade. Is there newer version ? The same for locate - indexing and locatind files by name. Where is...

You have to use the mechanizm of BTLD - boot time loadable drivers. Prepared FD with driver, look in box of server for drivers CD or ftp site of manufacturer. Look for needed commands to boot: in documentation Stankow, www.noac.biz
