Calendar service on Open Server 5.0.6 won't start 2

[MonocleMike]

I have broken my calendar service and it fails to start with a fatal error and the following in calsrvrlog:
"ERRNO = 9, T_ERRNO = 0, ISERRNO = 117
unable to open '/usr/lib/sco/oadb/caldata/event' database files"
and yes I have changed my system locale since I installed!
Do I need the calendar service (my system provides a platform for a single simple FoxBase database application)? What does it do? If so, how do I fix it? All suggestions gratefully received.

No you don't need it.
rename /etc/rc2.d/P95calserver to something like /etc/rc2.d/xP95calserver

That's funny.

The cron job scosh cronsched -r on six of our servers has started spitting out a similar message every night as well:

[tt]cronsched: No response from server
errno = 2, t_errno = 0[/tt]

No changes were made, however the systems were rebooted last weekend. A Y200212 bug perhaps?

I've logged a call with SCO... sorry... Caldera... sorry... SCO, and I'll let you know if it turns up something useful. Annihilannic.

Weird! So does mine and that was my next problem. I'll wait to hear. Thank heavens for this forum.

Well, the answer from our SCO TAM is that it happens to him all the time too, and to get rid of it as described by stanhubble above, or by sticking an exit 0 at the script's beginning. And of course comment out or remove the scosh jobs from root's crontab completely.

Unless of course you actually use it for something!! Annihilannic.
