probing monitors
This is something a little different. Trying to find a way I can probe a monitor on a system. Attempting to do 2 things, a. Get a good inventory of the system b. Setup my own x-config I can get the video card info no problem. I suspect that the monitor can only be probed via the video...- tekinept

setting dynamic variable in a function
Yep, that did the trick. Still wondering why it interpreted as a command rather than a var.... Guessing it has to do with the why I am assigning it...- tekinept

setting dynamic variable in a function
Sure this is just some basic scripting 101 snafu, but I'm at a loss. I am basically building a library, and this piece if becoming a real pain-- function get_current_space () { echo $* for check_space in $* do check_var=`echo $check_space | sed...- tekinept

Formatting/splitting output to screen
Well, I think this does get some of it.... Also was thinking of resizing windows, trying to use tput cols and lines to calculate where actually to put things, but then realized I couldn't wrap output, or truncate if I need to.... Hmm... I may be getting way over my head, and possibly shells'...- tekinept

Formatting/splitting output to screen
using ksh/bash, so should be able to work on both... I have been unable to find anyway to specify exactly where on the screen to dump out put. To explain would be to say, I am able to run 4 different scripts simultaneously, output of shell 1 would be top left, shell 2 bottom left, shell 3 top...- tekinept

reading a gamma correction file
I am trying to find a way to load a GCT file created by a windows calibration utility to a Linux system.. Talked to the company vendor, and they want me to develop a GAMMA_RAMP utility that can read this file and some card specific LUTs. Now, I am nowhere near a programmer, and thought maybe...- tekinept

KVM switch
The said thing is, the new IBM KVM switch has the same problem.... Basically, the whole USB and keyboard thing is completed messed up. The IBM rackmount keyboard and mouse doesn't even work. So in order to get a graphics console, you'll have to use their mouse and keyboard which are seperate... -
Need something for disk erasure
I have no top secret clearance, and this is not a facility that really needs top secret, however, it is part of the DoD. They did not require the DoD standard, or state that exactly. However, since they asked (or told us to have it), they probably do need to stay in DoD spec, at least this will... -
Need something for disk erasure
DoD specs is exactly what I need. Looks like S-Delete is a win only app.... I would like to have used a bulk erase, but they won't use that here. -
Need something for disk erasure
Have a gov contract that requires some report or verification that when a drive is removed, there is a full report stating that fact. It also should be able to remove all the data from the drive (not just removing an LV). I don't remember any way that AIX allows something like that, anyone have... -
44P 170 fails to boot off hdisk0
Hmm... Thats new. I would get into the maintenance mode again, and run the generic fscks, rebuild the jfslog and attempt to recreate the boot image. How far along do you get before this error pops up? Is there anything in the LED display? -
9111520 and USB keyboard
Well, got a USB KVM switch the other day... This didn't work either. Since then got another RISC, a openpower 720.... Same problem, had to rip the kybd and mouse from the other unit. Since it runs linux, the other setup will work okay, but only until Linux boots. -
KVM switch
This really depends on what boxes you are using. Traditionally RS/6000 has an issue with KVM switches. The one thing I can tell you, is they have to be POWERED. As long as both boxes keep the connection alive, it should work okay. The only company I know that states they support RS is blackbox... -
Serial Ports on Pseries 520
the 19200bps is something new that IBM changed to on p5s. As far as I know you cannot change this. You will also have to use a specific emulation, I think it is vt100. -
9111520 and USB keyboard
Well, thanks, but we already have the converters. Thats the problem, those did not work...... Contacted IBM, it seems there is an ECA for their own TFT rackmounts and this problem. You're very lucky not to get hit with this.. What TFT are you using? -
9111520 and USB keyboard
First part here is to let everyone know, the new p5 systems that use USB instead of PS/2 ports has a problem. You CANNOT use any usb keyboard or mouse on these systems, you have to have either a special IBM keyboard and mouse, or an IBM switch. I have been told that generic kybd/mse will work... -
Setup and install system
What exaclty do you mean- backup? Are you looking for an 'HA' system, where one immediately picks up when the other goes down? Making a mksysb may work, but for you data, it's not very practical. You really need to give a better idea of what you have (systems, arrays, SAN, etc) and what kind of... -
Newbie: AIX/Installation/p615 - scsi not bootable
This is the first I have ever heard of any scsi RAID cards being bootable. This would definitely explain the problem you are experiencing. If you are using the 2498, then there is no way for you to use the drives as bootable. May I suggest that you connect these drives to the onboard scsi, or at... -
Newbie: AIX/Installation/p615 - scsi not bootable
Need some more specifics on the drives and model type. There is a possibility of a software driver problem, it has happened on some other systems. this is a p615, is it a 70296c3? Can you grab the FRUs from the drive? there may even be a firmware issue here. If you happen to have another... -
automatically start program ??
KenCunningham is correct, inittab is the spot to start programs You need to have a line similar to this: sshd:#:once:/usr/local/bin/sshd Making sure that the path is correct, and the # is the default runlevel you have selected. If you have any flags associated with sshd, then add them there as...
