creating an ftp user
For application specific users, we have FTP IDs that have home directories in the actual directory where they either `put` or `get` files. The ownership and group of these directories belongs to that FTP ID, in other words, the FTP ID has it's own group ID. The main ID for the application is... -
svmon error
Thank you so much! I have exhausted all I knew to figure this thing out and then thought of posting the question here. I found the following in /dev fd0@ -> /fd01/fd0 I moved it out of the way temporarily and svmon worked like a charm. Found out the fd0 was bogus anyway. Remember, amateurs... -
svmon error
Has anyone had any experience with this svmon error? Same result regardless of options used. (svmon or svmon -P pid or svmon -G etc) svmon internal error: 0x0008 : init_dev_table :occurence = 1 errno = 2 I have a B80 that this is occurring on. In comparing it to an identical server... -
root files system
Look in / for core files and delete those. Look in /dev for any files other than actual devices. For example, if you have accidentally backed up or dd'ed a file to /dev/rmto, instead of /dev/rmt0, it will create a file in dev that can be large. Smit files smit.log and smit.script can be... -
Auto checking a file for growth
The -s option is "file has a size greater than zero". Put in your script to page you if return code is anything other than 1. [ -s filename ];print $? Your return code $? should be 1 if it is still at zero byte size. Your return code $? will be 0 if it has grown. if [ -s filename... -
Using mail (sendmail) to send attachments
Using the redirect < will put the contents of your file into the body/text of your email and not as an attachment. This can sometimes be even better than an attachment. Remember, amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic. -
AIX or NT for Progress Dbase
None from me, I have no AS/400 experience. You can go the the Progress website and check out the information they have on AS/400 configurations in their Knowledge Base. You don't need an account or ID. Go to www.progress.com and then to Tech Support and then to Knowledge Base / Search... -
Klogger in AIX
Until you get a more detailed application installed like PowerBroker, check out the .sh_history logs for each user ID that you are wanting to log. These are located in the $HOME directories and are viewable. It does not give the dates of the command line entries or the related output for those... -
AIX or NT for Progress Dbase
High Availability Cluster Multi-Processing. Here's some links for explanations. http://www.austin.ibm.com/software/sp_products/pssp_pres/hacmp.html http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/solutions/sc/sc_hacmp.html http://www.austin.ibm.com/resource/technology/ha42ov.html This link will take you into... -
AIX or NT for Progress Dbase
If your database cannot be down for any length of time then it must be a critical production application. If downtime is a concern, have they considered HACMP? There's not a comparable feature in NT for that kind of failover and redundancy. If they are looking to possibly upgrade your AIX... -
remote control software
X11 is a package install. Go to smitty installp and choose Install and update software by package name. Install from your AIX CDs. Then choose X11. This will install the filesets you need. Edit the file /usr/dt/config/Xservers and comment out the line that starts with :0 . This has to do... -
Processor speed
Sorry, that printf statement is: printf "%d/n" 0x0013c9eb00 The underlined part being what was in the PS= Remember, amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic. -
Processor speed
Here's a way I was shown we do it in automated scripts that check system configurations. A bit more techie, but an interesting way to know. Plus if you do need to automate somthing... lscfg -vp | pg scroll down until you find the CPU info, towards the bottom. It will look like Orca M5 CPU... -
Setting up the console/Remote console using Exceed?
Thought I'd scan back thru some older postings and see if I missed anything, so I don't know if you still need this help or not. First of all: No Unix questions are silly. I have a training document from IBM that quotes "Unix is like an onion, the more layers you peel off, the more you... -
maxlogins on aix 4.1 machine 7043.
Here's the link for the IBM announcement regarding unlimited user licensing. Go down towards the bottom and click on the AIX From Strength to Strength and download the Adobe pdf file. Remember, amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic. -
Remote Manual Pages
We did it this way: Copy the contents of the Base Documentation CD to a filesytem /infocd smitty install Software Maintenance and Utilities Copy Software to Hard Disk for Future Installation Set /infocd to be NFS exported to everyone, Read-Only Mount your server:/infocd to you... -
motd and CDE
The login screen for CDE is controlled by the Xresources file. The trick is to find the one that your system uses. First determine the $LANG your system is using; C, en_US, En_US, etc. Find that with echo $LANG. Then the most likely location of the Xresources file you need to edit is in... -
%sy > 40 % (tuning question)
Are you getting any CPU errors? It might not be memory at all, but maybe your processor. %usr + %sys > 80% = CPU bound You don't look to be hitting 80% but you are in the 50's. When this occurs, use top or monitor to determine what process is hitting the CPU. I like monitor -alternative -s 2... -
/dev/fd0
I did a reverse mount. Instead of trying to get the floppy drive to the server, I brought the server to the floppy drive. I NFS mounted the filesystem to the server that had the drive and did the install from there. Remember, amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic.
