rc scripts a lot of "dots"
I have one script to start and stop my applications. After created it in each system reboot I see a lot of "dots" for each start/stop process like:

Re: rc scripts a lot of "dots"
You have an rc script that's outputting all those dots. HP-UX formats all other scripts to conform to that one "rogue" script. So you'll have to search for that one & edit it back to "normal". I would probably concentrate on the non-OS supplied scripts first as I've never seen a "standard" HP-supplied script due this so check all the 3rd party ones first.
HTH,
Jeff

Re: rc scripts a lot of "dots"
I believe that will stop the dots from printing.
See /sbin/init.d/acct for an example of the start_msg and stop_msg paragraphs.

First check the start/stop messages from the script by manually running them with:
/sbin/init.d/myscript start_msg
/sbin/init.d/myscript stop_msg
Make sure that the response is a short (less than 70 chars) message. It's VERY important that start/stop messages be short.
Then try editing the /etc/rc.config.d/list_mode file and setting:
LIST_MODE=1
LIST_TIMEOUT=0
USE_COLOR=1
Finally, do a time-listing of /etc/rc.config.d and make ABSOLUTELY SURE there are no temporary files or any junk in there! *EVERY* file in that directory is run for every startup and shutdown script to set the required variables. This is a directory where you cannot keep old versions or test files.

Re: rc scripts a lot of "dots"
ls -lt /etc/rc.config.d | more
The newest files pop to the top. These are usually the culprits.

Re: rc scripts a lot of "dots"
It has nothing to do with the rc scripts.
It's probably about terminal settings.
I could not figure out where the rc scripts
get the terminal width. But sometimes it seems
that it get's the wrong width and the remaining
spaces are filled with dots.
The settings are saved somewhere. I can reproduce the
problem if I install a golden image with this "feature" on another host.
Is there a file with the default console settings?
Or the default settings for tty's or pty's?
I didn't really care about the output.
It's just a cosmetic issue...
If the boot is finished, the getty works with the right dimensions...
My 2 cent,
Armin

Re: rc scripts a lot of "dots"
Check your custom startup script. The msgs need to be short, 60 chars or so.
The startup script tools default to the LONGEST msg, and pad everything else.
