Server Crash - Locked Console / Ctrl-S / Veritas ?
We recently had a server go down and after working with Veritas and IBM they determined that the crash was caused by console process/output getting locked by someone typing Ctrl+S at the console. Since veritas writes output to the console and couldn't, it eventually resulted in the "had"... -
Controlling Boot After Power Loss
How does an IBM server react to a planned power outage. For instance, we shut the server down (shutdown -h now), then cut power to the room for testing (fire suppression, etc.), then return power to the room. During this, we never physically unplug the servers. Does the server starting... -
"ulimit -m" - What does this mean?
Thanks Rod for the response. As I understand it, the soft limit (without the -H option) is what will be enforced first since it is lower. Given this, we have 26 servers the same. Only difference is that two of them have the ulimit -m set to unlimited for the oracle account. One of the two... -
"ulimit -m" - What does this mean?

Perl Sendmail and Attachment
I actually had the use statement at the top of the script, but I only included the mail code, sorry. The entire script is below. Also, I have looked at the links, but they don't seem to give a good example of attaching text files. #!perl use Mail::Sendmail; #Variables $dump_file =... -
Perl Sendmail and Attachment
I have a short program that I want to email a simple text file as an attachment. I have gotten the email to work but not the attachment portion. Here is my code so far. Can someone help me with the attachment part. Thanks, Greg $smtpserver= "server.com"; $mail{From} = 'Security... -
