environment test how to do it

[Tom Geudens]

Hi gang,
Recently I bumped onto post
http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x7329c4c76f92d611abdb0090277a778c,00.html

I was very interested in the testing procedure
To simulate the following events:
TEMP_NORMAL:
# echo '\000\c' > /var/adm/envd_diag
... and so on ...

I can not get this to work. In fact the file (or whatever) /var/adm/envd_diag does not exist on our systems.

How can I get this to work ?

Tom,

It's a PIPE, and the directory is /var/run:

# ls -l /var/run
total 6
prw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 13 2001 envd_diag
drwx------ 2 root root 96 Jan 28 13:14 sudo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Jul 5 08:09 syslog.pid
-rw------- 1 root root 4 Jul 5 08:09 vpard.pid
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4 Jul 5 08:09 vphbd.pid

Hi Harry,
So it is indeed. Tested it and the server went down like it had to :-)

Thanks for correcting the original thread as well !

Regards,
Tom
