Cannot extend /tmp !

Thierry,

On my systems you need to hit spacebar on the heyboard in order to go to single user mode. Otherwise it will carry on !!

Unfortunately, init s/S has been broken for several years. Despite the man page stating that it will get you into single user mode, it doesn't. It leaves filesystems mounted, sometimes leaves network services running, etc. The same thing is true for shutdown 0. The man page states that without -r or -h, the system will transition to single user mode. But the result is similar to init s/S. This leaves /tmp (and others) still mounted with some processes still running. Both init s/S and shutdown 0 would be very useful if they worked as they bypass the lengthy hardware selftests.

So the only dependable method is to reboot, interrupt the boot process, and then use the ISL command: hpux -is
