With qx() there isn't a way to get the child's pid directly. You can use a fork/exec combo. Something like: if ($child_pid = fork) { print "My child is PID: $child_pid\n"; waitpid($child_pid, 0); } else { exec("my_script"); } HTH. Usige

You might be able to use a newer feature and place the auto exec sub-routine in: $Config{siteperl}/sitecustomize.pl This was added around 5.8.7 I think. You can diasable it with the -f flag. Hope that helps. Usige

Has anyone had any experience using mixed-speed adapters with EtherChannel backup adapters? I have a p570 that was built with 2 LPARs. Each lpar has a single Gig-E fiber card with no backup adapters. We are out of slots in all 4 building blocks and I have been asked to fix the single point of...

This almost sounds like a DNS timeout issue. Does a netstat -nr come back quicker as a regular user than netstat -r? This would eliminate any name resolution. I would do a tcpdump (or iptrace) while tring as both a regular user and root and compare the difference in the network traffic. This...

I feel for you. It's always fun taking over a system that was setup as "anything to make it work." (a.k.a. too lazy to do it right) One thing to consider if the above suggestion doesn't work is that some databases don't care about the GID and actually compare the group name. You run into the...

Strikelit, They are correct. The F40 is not a CHRP based system. The F50 is the earliest in that line to support 5.2+.

Breslau, PReP (PowerPC Reference Platform) machines are PCI, but they pre-date the CHRP standard. They were built durring the transition from POWER/MCA to PowerPC/PCI. This includes the rs/6000 laptops and a few of the original pci systems. It also would include early PowerPC based Macs.

ScarFaceSenior, Ok, this might seem like a stupid question, but why would you need that many users in the system group? system would normally be a group with very few people in it. To be honest I wonder if you might just be better off evaluating if all those users need access to the system group...

gbarth is right. 7043-140's are not supported on anything after AIX 5.1. Doesn't mean you can't try to get it running, but some of your hardware may not work anymore.

lpblauen, When you say you are not getting the memory back, do you mean the number of free pages is not increasing? AIX only frees memory when it must. What you will normally see under AIX is that the memory utilization starts growing after a reboot, and then seems to level off around 100%...

Moshiach, I'm not sure if I understand what you are asking. By "folders" I assume you mean directories and directories cannot be hard linked. You can find files with multiple hard links with a find command like the following: find / -type f -links +1 Sorry if that's not what you are looking...

Germo, You don't need to worry about those parms in AIX. These are all dynamic in AIX not like HP or Sun. I've installed and maintained 7 or 8 Informix servers and have never had a problem on those (other than nofiles being to small in some cases). There are thing you might want to tune later...

Services for Unix is a free Microsoft add on. You can download it from: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sfu/default.mspx

p5wizard makes a good point. If this is a san disk you are better off presenting smaller luns. Changing the factor means you effectively end up "wasting" available pp's on the smaller disks (i.e. you reserve 7112 pp's per disk but smaller disks might only use 2048 pp's of their reserved space).

Have you considered using Microsoft's Windows Services for UNIX (SFU)? You could install the NFS server software on the 2003 server. This would allow the AIX systems to use NFS to mount the Windows partitions. That is likely easier than configuring each AIX system with samba and getting them...

Oops, I re-read the error message and the factor would need to be atleast 7 not 6. This means only 4 pv's or 18 for big vg's.

willct, um you might say NCR unix is obsolete. The last NCR box I saw was over 8 years ago and that was while migrating the app to Solaris x86. I highly doubt that you can increase the filesystem. If you are just trying to export the data to move somewhere else you might have some options. In...

You can generally pick up a couple 43P's (7043-xxx) on e-bay for a couple hundred dollars each. Most are old CAD workstations and will not come with hard drives. The model 140's (beige cases) are cheaper but limit you to AIX 5.1 or less. I use a pair of 150's (black cases) and they work great...

Mag0007, chvg -t could help you in this case. Right now the uservg is set to a factor of 3 but you would need at least a factor of 6 for based on the error message (1016*6 = 6096 pp's per pv). You can change the factor with the following command: chvg -t 6 uservg On thing to keep in mind is...

As everyone else has stated AIX only runs on IBM hardware. While there used to be RS/6000 laptops or RS/6000 PC plugin cards, if you found one it would likely only run AIX 3.x. You can generally pick up an IBM 43p workstation on ebay for a couple hundred bucks. Most are 43p-140's which will...
