Hello admins,
I wuold like to solve this problem:

Reinizializate software distribution agent deamon ....FAILS.

This is related to swagentd.

The output of /etc/rc.log show this:

Reinitialize Software Distributor agent daemon
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S870swagentd start":
----------------------------
ERROR: swagentd exiting due to initialization error in background
process. Check the logfile "/var/adm/sw/swagentd.log" for
more information.
ERROR: Unable to restart swagentd after initializing networking.
"/sbin/rc2.d/S870swagentd start" FAILED

This is the var/adm/sw/swagentd.log

But if i lunch swagentd by command line, it works fine.

Some suggestions?

Thanks

I believe you need to patch your system. Go to the "custom patch manager" and get the patches for your system.

Hi Harry, How is he going to install patch if his swagentd is not running?

I think it is to do with his hostname resolv or some rpc service is not running.

swagentd hanging at bootup, system can't resolve its own name DocId: KBRC00007604 Updated: 7/31/01 4:15:00 PM

PROBLEM
I'm having problems when booting my system, S100swagentd startup
script is hanging. When starting swagentd from the command line,
I receive the error:

failure registering as remote procedure call, ncacn_ip_tcp 2121

I can ping other systems via the IP address, but not by name.
I'm using resolv.conf and I'm unable to get to my name server. CONFIGURATION

Operating System -HP-UX
Version -10.20
RESOLUTION
If the system cannot resolve its own hostname, then swagentd will not be able
to start.

To fix this problem:

1) If your are not using DNS, then move resolv.conf out of the way,
and verify that the hostname is in /etc/hosts. swagentd should now
start without any problems.

2) If your are using DNS, it is recommended that you set files
as the first place to try and lookup a hostname on each
machine. Do this by editng the 'hosts" line in
/etc/nsswitch.conf file to look similar to:

hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns

This way when the systems boot up, if the nameserver is down, each machine will
be able to start swagentd without a problem since it is resolving its own name
locally.

Hello Fabrizio,

could you check your "/etc/rc.config.d/*", please?
If there are some environment variables set (which do not exist in your shell's environment), that could be the reason...

Just my $0.02,
