HP-UX 11.0 loging problem (urgent pls).

[presage112]

I have 6 workstations that build one system with one machine as the main where I used to issue commands to all other machines from ,
I rebooted all of them when I power on any of them I get the following error.

Init:command is repawning too rapidly will try again in 5 minutes
id:errors "/etc/opt/resmon/bin/p_client.
id:console "usr/sbin/getty console console
#system console"


Guys any urgent help.

appreciate your cooperation.

Regards.

forgot to tell that the system repeats the same message after the 5 mins pass.

one of them after giving the error message was trying to do memory dump but after the memory dump it reboots.

besides whenever I try the single mode it reboots.

Thanks

While its up make sure /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash the first variable is set to 1

Then check /var/adm/crash and see if you can get a crash dump off while its running.

It would seem like you have a failure of hardware or perhaps last config change, triggered by boot.

If you remember what it was, pershaps you could back it out during that 5 minute window.

Otherwise it might be hardware service call or ignite recovery tape time.

Hi


Why this happens I have no idea but I have seen it before

Check the file /etc/inittab for the line containing /etc/opt/resmon/bin/p_client

Would look like

ems4:3456:respawn:/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/p_client

Try adding run level 2 so you get

ems4:23456:respawn:/etc/opt/resmon/lbin/p_client

Then the probable solution :
------------------------------
Ems has two startup scripts in /sbin/rc2.d called :


S900ems => this script starts p_client


S900emsa => this script starts Ems agent


Change the order of the scripts S900ems and S900emsa by
changing S900ems into S901ems and then add a sleep 15 command
at the end of S900emsa



You may need to reboot

The last time that I saw this message on HPUX, nmy fonts directory wasn't right. It was corrected by going into single user mode and correcting a problem in fonts.dir.

The last time I saw this under LINUX, I spent three days with support and gave up and re-installed the software.

The point being....If fonts.dir looks right and the re-compile doesn't work, it could easily be somewhere else.

-Good Luck

I have seen This message when most service can not be up. If it is not a hardware fault.Try to enter level 1 to find conf errors. If can , start the service manually.

[presage112]

after that there was a long message the I couldn't capture, but I couldn't even go to single mode after that ,is it a hardware fault problem.

rgds.

Hi



It is not hardware on all machines.

Make the change I showed in my previous entry
