/usr/vue/bin/vuerc

[Jenifer Martins]

What is this? I had an init "respawning" error with this file. How critical is this file? To get rid of the error, I modified inittab and turned respawn to off. From the answers from a previous question to the forum, this is what was recommended if respawning occured.

Can somesome clarify this file.

The vuerc reference in inittab is a remnant of the 9.x days and was used through 10.20 to start the HP-VUE login server (vuelogin).



Since VUE and CDE could not both be run at the same time, vuerc has a feature to look for DESKTOP=CDE in /etc/rc.config.d and if found, it would sleep "forever" (literally, 99999999 seconds). Otherwise, it would start vuelogin.



If this is an 11.x system, one reason that vuerc might be still listed in inittab is if the system had been upgraded and not re-installed. The upgrade might not have removed this entry.

Thanks, I guess it isn't really needed. This is a 10.2 installation.

Jenifer,

If it is a server, I don't think you need even CDE at all. So, you can safely comment the entry out in your inittab and do an /sbin/init q
