lpsstat error

catastro — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 06:02:59 GMT

Hi. I have a server with HP-UX 11iv1 and when I try to run the command lpsched a new line appears and is telling me: Memory fault; and there is no coredump at all in the directory.
I have looked already at the memory error logs and there are none, and the are no HPMC from the CPU either.
There are no patches or fileset corrupted either. Any idea on what is happening?
Thanks for the help

Hi,

are you up-to-date with patches?
The last 'lpspool subsystem cumulative patch' is PHCO_34993:

Shalom,

I think it likely that this is dealt with in one of the following ways:

1) Remove the lpsched binary and replace with one from another system.
2) A recent bi-annual patch set.
3) Making sure the environment is correct when running lpsched

A search for 'lpstat' also point to the 'cumulative SAM patch' - PHCO_35520, or the latest: PHCO_36562, but it has only one star, so not yet tested by much customers.

So I suggest to install SAM and lpspool patches

Hi V. Nyga. I have the patches up to date for now. SEP, IÂ´ll try to replace the binary now and see how it works.

By the way Steven, which one of this two files should i replace?

/usr/sbin/lpsched
/usr/lib/lpsched

And I guess I should stop the lpsched before?

Re: lpsstat error

V. Nyga — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:30:41 GMT

Check the binary that is used by 'which lpsched'.

But at the end I think you should compare both and change both.

>Steven: Remove the lpsched binary and replace with one from another system.

Before you do that you may want to use "swverify \*" to detect if lpsched or other files have been corrupted or have the wrong permissions.

Did you copy the files from somewhere else, as suggested?
If you had the same software, that would explain the mtime (if you didn't preserve the time) but the cksum should be the same.

>Santhosh I get the same outputs as you.

I didn't see lpsched on the list of bad files.

I did not change the lpstat file, as it is in use. Everything is working fine excapt the lpstat. How can I solve the chksum issue? Is there any patch for lpstat? Or any fileset?
Thanks to all

Catastro,

This will fix your permission of your lpstat, hope this help.

I would NOT do this to fix lpstat since there is a cksum and mtime problem.

>I did not change the lpstat file, as it is in use.

It is trivial to change if in use, if that is the solution.

You don't know where you got it? What is the date of that file?

This indicates you have a newer version?

By getting the proper file back.

Re: lpsstat error

catastro — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 09:58:05 GMT

Hi Dennis. Thanks for the replies. The thing is that this is not my server, I only give support. I can not be sure that noone changed the file, but I think noone did it although. And the other question now is, how do I get the older file? This happens since I updates from HPUX 11.00 to 11iv1 (a cold intallation).
I already installed on the server the last bundle of patches (SupportPlus 0712).

Dennis Handly — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 10:52:31 GMT

>I can not be sure that no one changed the file

swverify says it was changed.

>And the other question now is, how do I get the older file?

Either from a patch or the original install CD.
I'll check later to see what the proper date and cksum lpstat should have.

Re: lpsstat error

Dennis Handly — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:53:37 GMT

On my 11.11 system I have:
/var/adm/sw/products/PrinterMgmt/LP-SPOOL/INFO:path /usr/bin/lpstat
-r-sr-xr-x 1 lp bin 53248 Jun 2 2006 /usr/bin/lpstat
$ stat_date -t 1153012225
time_t value is: 07/15/06 18:10:25 PDT
$ stat_date -t 1203415424
time_t value is: 02/19/08 02:03:44 PST

So your lpstat was changed recently and the version it wants is newer than my version.

$ cksum /usr/bin/lpstat
1827412722 53248 /usr/bin/lpstat

This matches with PHCO_34822. Yours matches with PHCO_34993.

So just install PHCO_34993 again.
