Emergency Boot Diskette for OpenServer 5.0.4

[hd7106]

We are missing "sysadmsh" utility on our OpenServer 5.0.4 systems.

I would like to create an Emergency boot diskette using command line synatx instead of GUI. I was wondering if anyone has challneged this before. Regerring to OpenServer Admin manual, it only talks about using "sysadmsh".

Use "scoadmin".

SCOADMIN IS MISSING ALSO.

I am sorry, to have responded in exuberance without checking on the server for "scoadmin" utility.

In fact it does have "scoadmin" installed. However, when I execute from X-Windows shell, I get "tcl error". I suppose it does not recognize the graphics representation in X.

I then execute from the root cosnole. At least I can bring it up in character mode. I just have to figure out the options where it leads me to create a boot diskette. It has been a number of years since I have played with this.

Thanks again,

Thanks again, I was able to locate the option to create Emergency Boot Dik from "SCOADMIN".

My next step would be to fix the failing system. Will keep you posted as to what I find... if anything.
