- Is running an xterm without these parameters defined the usual way that
- /etc/utmp gets hosed ? Are there other known culprits that do this ?
-
- What does one need to do to fix it ? Why does rup give correct amounts
- of uptimes and loads although the 3.2 man pages say:
-
- 2. Load average statistics are not kept by the AIX kernel. The
- load averages are always reported as 0 (zero) by this command.
-
- Works fine on my machine, can anyone tie up these loose ends...
