Error's in rc.log file (savecrash file & mail daemon error)

[Simon R Wootton]

I have the following error's when booting my rp7410 running hpux 11i :

Save system crash dump if needed
Output from "/sbin/rc1.d/S440savecrash start":
----------------------------
savecrash directory not set; defaulting to: /var/adm/crash
EXIT CODE: 2 - savecrash found no core dump to save
"/sbin/rc1.d/S440savecrash start" SKIPPED


Starting mail daemon
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S540sendmail start":
----------------------------
WARNING: local host name (rp7410) is not qualified; fix $j in config file
/etc/mail/aliases: 7 aliases, longest 9 bytes, 88 bytes total
sendmail


My aim is to rectify any warnings so that the rc.log is clean on reboot.

All help rewarded !!

regards
Simon

Hi,

1. This is he normal behaviour. You have not defined any specific crash directory so it is using default configured directory. This can be configured using /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash. There is no core file to store. system must be sgutdown and restarted properly.

2. Specify Fully qualifed doman name (FQDN) in /etc/hosts file for your server.

>>savecrash directory not set; defaulting to: /var/adm/crash>>
Make sure you see a dump lvol defined in:
# lvlnboot -v

Also check /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash for SAVECRASH_DIR. Make sure it's set. The default crash directory (as the boot message indicated is) SAVECRASH_DIR=/var/adm/crash
