error msg when rebooting

[Brian Williams_5]

When I reboot my HP-UX 11.00 machine, I see this:

# shutdown -r now

From where might this "/sbin/rc[38]: setenv: not found." error message be coming?

Hi Brian:

Looks like you have a 'csh' (yuk!) script in your startup/shutdown sequence.

'setenv' is a 'csh' construct used to set an environment variable.

The startup/shutdown scripts in '/sbin/rc?.d/' and the configuration files in '/etc/rc.config.d/' that drive them, are expected to be POSIX scripts.

Regards!

Somewhere in your shutdown scripts you have a ksh script trying to execute a csh command. Could be an issue, but probably not. search your rc directories for scripts with setenv in them, and then if they do, then make sure they aren't ksh scripts.

Brian,

line 38 of /sbin/rc refers
to /sbin/rc.utils.
/sbin/rc.utils is the script
which execures the rc scripts
in /sbin/init.d .
To find the culprit csh script
which is giving this error do

grep -l setenv /sbin/init.d/*

This should catch the script
with the setenv command.
Find out what the script is
for and if it is needed, convert it into a posix shell script.

Strange, I ran all these commands:

# grep -l setenv /sbin/init.d/*
# grep setenv /sbin/rc0.d/*
# grep setenv /sbin/rc1.d/*
# grep setenv /sbin/rc2.d/*
# grep setenv /sbin/rc3.d/*
# grep setenv /sbin/rc4.d/*
grep: can't open /sbin/rc4.d/*

and found no occurrence of "setenv".

The only thing I've added to this machine since it's been shipped to me is the ClearCase client and a script to start up my company's product.

# ls /sbin/rc0.d
K480syncer K888kminit K900localmount
K800killall K890kmbuild K96AVSearch

and /sbin/rc0.d/K96AVSearch is:

lrwxrwxr-x 1 root sys 21 Oct 23 19:28 K96AVSearch -> /sbin/init.d/AVSearch

and /sbin/init.d/AVSearch is this:

#!/bin/sh
#
# AVSearch This script starts and stops the AV Enterprise Search daemons.
#
# chkconfig: 345 96 96
# description: AltaVista's AV Enterprise Search product.

MODE=s ## default mode is startup

if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
case "$1"
in
start) MODE=s;;
stop) MODE=k;;
start_msg);; #line added for HP-UX compatibility
stop_msg);; #line added for HP-UX compatibility
*) echo "$0: unknown option: $1" exit 1;;
esac
fi

( cd /usr/AVSearch/Enterprise ; ./avsetup -$MODE )

and the /usr/AVSearch/Enterprise/avsetup script is a bourne shell script, too. It has #!/bin/sh at the top of the file.


Perplexed.

Have a look in the file /sbin/rc (yes it is there, no not the rc?.d directory) and see if there are any setenv statements in there.

I would also make sure that it is using /sbin/sh for its shell and not csh. The first line should be: #!/sbin/sh

[Santosh Nair_1]

How about checking in /etc/rc.config.d/. Perhaps someone threw a csh script or at least a file using csh syntax in this directory.
