Compaq Tru64unix ver. 4.0f , Patch Kit 1
ADVFS file systems.
Question
In both version 4.0b and now ver 4.0f, the shutdown command will not work
unless I copy dev null into /var/adm/utmp and /var/adm/wtmp.
EXAMPLE
I reboot once a week. In my backup scripts, this will NOT work.
/sbin/shutdown
This WILL work
> /var/adm/wtmp
> /var/adm/utmp
/sbin/shutdown
Why?? This was also true on version 4.0b.
Thanks for any ideas on this one.
I will summarize the replies/solution.
