vt daemon

[Josh_13]

the vt daemon doesn't start on the hpux box i am using. it is running 10.20.

the rc log reads:

Start vt daemon
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S630vt start":
---------------------------------------
"/sbin/rc2.d/S630vt start" SKIPPED



i tired checking the script against a differnt box using 10.20 and the scripts are identical.

Hi Josh:

Look in the file /etc/rc.config.d/vt and check the settings. I suspect that the VTDAEMON_START variable is set to 0.

Do you have /etc/rc.config.d/vt setup with a line that says

VTDAEMON_START=1

Other possibilities are-
1) /usr/sbin/vtdaemon does not exist or not execultable
2) /dev/lan0 does not exist.

Following is the test from /etc/rc.config.d/vt to see if it should be skipped or not

if [ $VTDAEMON_START -eq 1 ] && [ -x /usr/sbin/vtdaemon ] && [ -c /dev/lan0 ]; then

hope that helps
