Have you been 'playing' with the PATH variable?

Try logging out and back in.

Let's try this:

# whence vgdisplay

for the result, test with

# file

# ll

(I have seen 0byte binaries before in an earlier thread).

Hi ...

Thanks for quick reply.....

Requested o/p are ---

(1)
# whence vgdisplay
/usr/sbin/vgdisplay

(2)# ll /usr/sbin/vgdisplay
-r-sr-xr-x 26 root sys 0 Feb 17 02:32 /usr/sbin/vgdisplay

(3) # file /usr/sbin/vgdisplay
/usr/sbin/vgdisplay: empty


(4)# whereis vgdisplay
vgdisplay: /usr/sbin/vgdisplay /sbin/vgdisplay /usr/share/man/man1m.Z/vgdisplay.1m


(5)
# ll /sbin/vgdisplay
-r-sr-xr-x 26 root sys 901120 Mar 20 2007 /sbin/vgdisplay

(6)
# ll /usr/share/man/man1m.Z/vgdisplay.1m
-r--r--r-- 1 bin bin 4321 Mar 20 2007 /usr/share/man/man1m.Z/vgdisplay.1m

Item 2 is your problem. The binary is of 0 size. You need to check all /usr/bin/vg* and /usr/bin/lv* binaries and see what they look like.

You should probably try to find a backup tape to restore from.

Hi
you can also try copy the command from other same OS version Server. To be on the safer side you can uae rcp and also that you can choose a server which has the same OS version and Release and the same patch level.

Hi,

As Sujit say's better if you have the same server with the same OS Ver. then better copy all /usr/sbin directory into this machine.

just make a tar of /usr/sbin and restore into this machine.
