So I know that if I don't have a ypservers file the machine broadcasts for a NIS server/slave on the subnet. If there is more than one slave on a given subnet, will the machine broadcast again in case of a failure of the server it is bound to? I'm trying to achieve failover without having to...

OK, I know they aren't the same thing. So far I have: If you don't have a ypservers file you must start up ypbind with a -broadcast option and have a NIS master or slave on the same subnet. Makes sense. Now, if I have a ypservers file, are those the only servers that the machine will bind to...

I generally just use a script that calls a facility like mailx to send the mail. There may be a more elegant way to do it but that works.

Just to pile-on I've seen errors on my servers like this in the past and they are generally memory errors. VTS should show which stick is the problem but you may have to make it run multiple passes. Generally in the past I've seen it show the memory bank that is at fault but I don't see...

From the Solaris man page. "Example 3: Specifying days of the month and week This example 0 0 1,15 * 1 would run a command on the first and fifteenth of each month, as well as on every Monday." I just wanted to elaborate on my post and reiterate that LKBrwnDBA's example will not fulfill...

LkBrnDBA, have you tested this? Not to be a pain but I think I tried this once and my job ran on the first 7 days of the month and on every Sunday. The man page has a similar example. To accomplish the task, unmlobo, you may want to just add some logic to your script (or script the job as it...

ls -R Check out the manpage for other details (man ls). HTH Brian

/usr/sbin/inetd Usually you can do a man on a command to find out where it is, that is if `which inetd` doesn't tell you. You should check the man page before you start killing/restarting stuff anyway. That particular process does have a run control script that starts it automatically when it...

Does the machine with the dfstab entry know how to resolve the names of the machines you are having problems with? Brian

I don't think this is the right forum for you, but before I say for sure, what is "DP"? Brian

Not knowing anything about the process I'd say look at if it is writing any log files or if it is searching any files that are growing. These files would probably be reset when the process restarts and that might explain the performance change. Just a WAG Brian

If this is something that runs daily you can check /var/cron/log or /var/cron/olog for history. That may give you some insight into what is happening. HTH Brian

I've used Big Brother to monitor websites. It worked very well. Check it out at http://www.bb4.com. I have no affiliation with them, just a satisfied user. I don't know if it'll integrate with OV, though. HTH Brian

I know you can setup users in Network Presenter, but is there a way to setup usernames and authentication in Dynamic Views? Thanks Brian

Isn't that usually configured in the browser? Unless you have a certificate that has been generated for a different hostname than what your clients are accessing. Then they will get an error generally. Like you have a certificate registered for the servername (like "server1.company.com") but...
