[Jan Studsgaard_2]

I working every day on the HP9000 server,
but most of the time remote, the reason is that the consol have no promt.
Can anyone telle me how I get my promt back on the consol.
I now this is basic, but i used over a hour yesterday, only to get my promt back.

What do you get at the console? Try typing "co" at the console to get the login prompt back. If that doesn't work, post more details on what you do see at the console.

The cursor is only blinking.
I can write on the consol, and I have all the menus in the botton on the screen. All the menus in the botton is active. I can go into the terminal config, but without success.

Hi Jan,

Have you tried power cycling the console?

Hi,
I guess your console is in LOCAL mode.
Make it REMOTE*

If neither of the above suggestions work, try turning off the console, holding down control-D and then turning on the console holding these buttons down. You should soon hear a beep. This will reset the console to factory defaults and hopefully get it working again.

I have tryed all the good idea??s you came up with, but it is still the same.
The console is already running in Remote Mode.
I thing I have setup the default settings 10 times at least.

02. Press CTRL + Q

Hi,
Try to kill the getty of the console
#ps -ef|grep console
# root 13506 1 0 Sep 28 console 0:00 /usr/sbin/getty console console
#kill -9 13506


Best of luck

Hi,

There are two things that you can do.
First kill off any processes that may still be running:

# ps -ef | grep console
Kill of the appropriate processes
# kill -5

You should be able to do a control-B in any case.

Good Luck
