It's a newly installed system via Ignite, 11.23
I am pretty sure /bin/true and other stuff in /bin was there yesterday, and today it's gone!
I am puzzled where /bin/went and how it got deleted.
How can I recreate it? Given that /bin a link to /usr/bin, Can I just recreate the link?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: /bin directory gone on 11.23 system
And it rebooted. I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Re: /bin directory gone on 11.23 system
Yes, '/bin' is really a symbolic link to '/usr/bin'. Strictly speaking it is a "transition link" (known by the presence of a "t" as if the file or directory has its "sticky" bit set). These links were going to vanish circa 11.23 as I recall. This isn't going to happen. They become regular symbolic links in 11.31. They appeared with in HP-UX 10.0 when the HP-UX filesystem layouts changed. You can recreate them with:
# /opt/upgrade/bin/tlinstall

Re: /bin directory gone on 11.23 system
You really should start using /usr/bin though.

Re: /bin directory gone on 11.23 system
> You are saying that tlinstall will put the link back?
Yes, and using it will set the sticky-bit to indicate that the symbolic link is categorized as one of the "transition" links (should you care).
