sys_check V133

[John Palmer_5]

I recently updated sys_check from V132 to V133 per HP request. We have an 8400,TRU64 V5.1B PK3 that has a problem and HP is working on it. Ever since I installed V133 of sys_check it will not finish doing sys_check -escalate.
It hangs on the Oracle section. Getting ready to open a call with HP but wanted to see if anyone has seen this? Even dropped back to V132 with no fix. It worked fine until the update. Thanks.

Whenever sys_check hangs, I first use

ps -ej | grep -E "PID|check"

Under the column heading PGID, you will find the process group id of the main sys_check.
Then use
ps -fg
and you will find all sub-process that were forked by the main sys_check.
Now kill the one subprocess you suspect to hang.

You could also try the command

sys_check oracle > /var/tmp/ora_check.html

to just run the Oracle module of sys_check.

Have fun,
Johan.
