mc command

[Anthony khan]

Hi,

I am trying to run mc -p /dev/picker -s S1 -d D1 but I am getting permission denied error, /dev/picker is a link file to /dev/rac/c5t0d0
crw------- 1 bin sys 231 0x050000 May 27 05:55 c5t0d0

Is there any way i can run the above command as a user coz one of the user will run this command from his script.

Thanks

You need to open up the permissions; 666

crw-rw-rw- 1 bin sys 231 0x050000 May 27 05:55 c5t0d0

Check and set the proper permissions to these files:

/dev/picker
/dev/rac/c5t0d0

The 'mc' command has execute permission to everybody.

Hi Anthony,

How about using the picker device itself rather than the link,

mc -p /dev/rac/c5t0d0 -s S1 -d D1

Do you have schgr driver configured into the kernel. Also try this command,

mc -p /dev/rac/c5t0d0 -r IDSM

Hope this helps.
