This is rather belated but better late than never. I joined this board towards the end of 2005 when I knew I would soon be out of a job. Even though I'd been a sys admin for many years I was kind of rusty and out of touch with Solaris due to the nature of my assignment. The climb back was...

We have a bunch of Solaris hosts on which the tsm agent gets killed for some reason. Anyone else seen this problem before ? How do I identify what's killing it ?
