I want to thank all of you who answered me so quickly!
My question: (Solution below the question)
We have a new Alpha 1000A DU 4.0b we are porting to.
I want to soft link my /tmp directory to another
drive. I found the following dir/files in /tmp
so I moved them to another directory first.
srwx system .TTX_137.87...30_0
srwx system .TTX_137.90....3_0
drwxrwxrwt daemon .X11-unix
In .X11-unix> srwxrwxrwx daemon X0
Good thing I saved the above and was able
to move them back because once gone from /tmp
I get the following message when I try to run
the CDE Application Manager icon:
The request to service this action has failed
for the following reason:
TT_ERR_PTYPE_START attempt to launch instance
of ptype failed....
*********************************************
Solution:
Most responses were to mount some other file system
onto the /tmp directory during the boot process.
To do this I would have had to perform newfs
edit the fstab and mount /tmp.
I talk to Digital Support for CDE support.
What we did was this:
>From a telnet session on another machine as su
run 2 programs to stop xsessions and the dt login
manager and then stop xlogin:
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -kill
/sbin/init.d/xlogin stop
mkdir /raid/tmp
chmod 777 /raid/tmp
cd /
rm -r tmp
ln -s /raid/tmp
chmod 777 tmp
/sbin/init.d/xlogin start
This worked great! It I have any problems with
the above then I will probable try using newfs, etc.
Thanks again, Jean
