inetd[615]: Going down on signal 15

[Jim Lynn]

The syslog.log has this entry - where else should I look. I'm AIX trained but not HPUX so be gentle. We're running 10.20.

I suggest enabling detailed logging. So you can get a better idea on whats going on.

run,

inetd -b

Then check you syslog, but be sure to turn this off because it will fill your syslog very quickly. Just rerun to toggle off.

Hi Jim:

One work around of inetd dying on signal is to increase the kernel parameter - eqmemsize. Check out all log files you have and get more information about this error.

HTH,

HI,

Looks like someone killed your inetd deamon !

[hpuxrox]

In that case,

cat /.sh_history | grep kill

Signal 15 is kill command.
Somebody with root access killed inetd on your box!
