swinstall does not start

[aena]

When launching swinstall on a HP-UX 11.11 workstation, the process hangs after the message
"NOTE: The interactive UI was invoked, since no software was specified."

With tusc, I can see that instead of calling fcntl(XX, F_GETFL,0) 60 times for #0-#59 file descriptor as in other servers and proceeding with the operation, it calls fcntl indefinitely (#0 - infinite file descriptor).

You could try killing off "swagentd" and trying again.

Already tried that, but it did not work

[Steven E. Protter]

The ususal fix is to restart swagend

/sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
/sbin/init.d/swagentd start

or

swagentd -r

It was an easy one, DISPLAY was set to other server. I got it right now when received a message at the console: X connection to shaula:0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Thanks for your help
