Hi amitv,

when I see this message it usually is a problem in /etc/inittab. Just type

init q

to check inittab contents.
Does it return just the prompt?
Have you edit the inittab file in last period?

Best regards,
Fabio

Hi,

Check for the same line in /etc/inittab

/usr/sam/lbin/samd

Just hash the line containing this string and do

#init q

Hi,

This no where seems to be linked to the problem in subject.

What is the error when you try to mount it manually by

#mount /var

HTH,
Devender

boot the system into single user mode:

hpux -is

Once you are there, there are a couple of possible causes.

1) type: mount -a

If you get error messages about the format in /etc/fstab, then fix those lines.

2) Figure out the last time you rebooted the machine okay by doing a tail on /etc/shutdownlog: tail /etc/shutdownlog

cd to /etc/rc.config.d
ll -t | head
for any of the files in this directory with a timestamp more recent than you last successful reboot type:

. ./

For example:

. ./cmcluster

If you ANY messages back from the "." commands, then that file has an error in it.

Files in this directory can only be of two types:

COMMENTS (start with a #)
VARIABLE SETTINGS

If someone has tried to set up a command to run out of this directory then you will get a failure like you are currently seeing.

If one of the files returns an error and it is not key to the system, then move it out of this directory and reboot. If it is key to the system (like netconf) then edit it and fix the error and do a reboot.
