Hi,

If you are wanting to save out a list of kernel tunables then:

on pa-risc:

kmtune > /tmp/kmtune.out

on itanium:

kctune > /tmp/kctune.out

The file can be viewed on your PC (ascii text format).

regards,

Richard

The "vmunix" is the actual kernel. It is not viewable in a PC without special tools.

The correct procedure depends on HP-UX version. Usually, the command "kmtune" or "kctune" will produce a listing of all kernel parameters. Redirect the output to a text file, convert it to PC-style line endings with ux2dos command, and then transfer to your PC:

kctune > kernel-parameters.txt
ux2dos kernel-parameters.txt
