Hello,

very strange message, never seen that message on swlist.
What is that slap under /opt??

Have you /var filesystem normally mounted? Check by bdf.

Just a try: stop/start again the swagentd daemon:

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

Does it solve the problem?

Best regards,
Fabio

Hi,
can you check that you are running HPUX version:
what `which swlist`

should point into /usr/sbin/swlist.

If not try the command:
/usr/sbin/swlist

Hi,

Could you check your "echo $PATH" env? Does it begin with /opt/corp/local?

HI Peter,

/usr/sbin/swlist works fine

normal swlist doesn't work.



Could you check your "echo $PATH" env? Does it begin with /opt/corp/local?


out put for this

"echo $PATH" env?
ksh: echo /usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:/opt/nettladm/bin:/opt/pd/bin:/
opt/upgrade/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/contrib/bin/X11:/opt/perf/bin:/opt/corp/local/
bin:/opt/corp/tools/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/hpnp//bin:/opt/hparray/bin:/opt/CC/bin:/o
pt/langtools/bin: not found

>/usr/sbin/swlist works fine
>normal swlist doesn't work.

That's your problem, you should be using absolute paths for SD tools or you need to hunt down and remove the bogus swlist. You can find it by "whence swlist". Or fix your PATH.

>output for this: "echo $PATH" env?

(The correct command is: echo $PATH)

Your bogus swlist is in one of those locations, probably /opt/corp/local/bin/, which is before /usr/sbin/.

Hi,
as I suggest in my first post, you are running a 'wrong' version of swlist.

Either use the full path (/usr/sbin/swlist) and/or change the PATH for the root user to search /usr/sbin towards the beginning.

On most of our machines PATH for root is set to "/usr/bin:/usr/sbin" via
export PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"

To track your PATH assignment, check /etc/profile and ~/.profile for root user.

This should fix your problem. After you have tested my solution, could you please update this thread by awarding points to helpful answers and summarising the solution for you, before you close the thread.
