- I've got three problems with the hpux 8.0 release
-
- First problem:
- Problems on the 710 running hpux 8.07
- the command /usr/bin/script shoots the system load through the ceiling.
- By typing this inocuous command, everything pretty much comes to a screaching
- halt as the computer tries to do who knows what.
- It is pretty anoying, as the everything slows to a snails crawl, until
- this command is killed (which can take upwars of 2 to 5 minutes to die)
- Is this a know problem?
- Is there a fix?
- or do we just remove this feature from the system?
-
-
- Second problem:
- running hpux 8.00 on model 345 and 425T with amd5.3b
- Amd seems to F up the mount maps pretty nicely. After a period of use,
- say about one day, amd can no longer mount random directories, and
- sometimes the mount map gets garbage in it
- (i.e. mount -p prints out some garbage text)
- The only way to fix this is to reboot the machine.
- Killing amd tends to have bad even more ill effects on the mount table.
- Amd was compiled with the patches for hpux 8.0
- We have this same version running on our 710 hpux 8.07 machines
- and it works wonderfully well.
- Any ideas out there?
-
- Third problem:
- back to the 710 running hpux 8.07
- the command
- eval `resize -c`
- returns the error message
- broken pipe
- about half of the time.
- When it returns this message the shell is not updated properly,
- when it doesn't return this message it seems to update the shell ok.
- Any ideas?
- hints?
- clues?
-
- Thanks in advance to any kind soul who has suffered through any of these
- problems and feels generous enough to reply.
