Failure of cron "at" processes

Since a system restore neither of our K series 10.20 machines can run at jobs. message being issued is -

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: snprintf(code) from at Abort(Coredump)

Any help would be appreciated

Re: Failure of cron "at" processes

Specifying the libc patch, [PHCO_8108/PACHRDME/English] , in the patch
dependencies field solves the problem.
Without this patch installed, the at(1) command will fail
with an unresolved symbol error for 'snprintf'.


install the latest patch : PHCO_19885 & PHCO_22448

see cron/at patch text for the above problem description , the 2 patches listed are for cron & libc

Hi

Man at specifies the environmental parameters for "at" to run please check that these are available.

Nick,

Have you installed a patch?
If yes, you could have installed a patch without some dependencies.
If you have installed the dependencies, check with "swlist -l fileset -a state", if everything is configured.

Check which library file is supplying the snprintf(with the what command on the files in /usr/lib), than you need to re-install the patch.
