Need help with /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx

[sbrews]

I have a DBA who asked that I startup a process for him (requires root priv). That process is start_peer. When I start this process, I get the following:


phxha05# ./start_peer -a
./start_peer[24]: /usr/ucb/whoami: not found.
./start_peer[61]: test: 0403-004 Specify a parameter with this command.
Starting master_peer ...
./master_peer CONFIG.master NOV >master_peer.out 2>&1 &
Done!

Starting encap_peer ...
./encap_peer -t 1162 -s 1160 -c CONFIG.encap >encap_peer.out
2>&1 &
Done!


start_peer: Error: /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx doesn't exist or
start_peer: not executable. Exiting..

. Exiting..


The error that I am concerned with is the last one - ...snmpdx doesnt exist... the specified location/file does not exist on my system (actually I checked several - its not on any of them). My search for answers has yet to yield anything helpful. If anyone can tell me where I might find this and/or what I need to do to install it, I'd really appreciate it.

Scott,

It appears from the info you have supplied that the DBA hasn't installed (or had you install) all the prerequisites for what he is trying to run. snmpdx is a Sun program that I guess can be installed on various platforms. What's the process you need to run? What does the DBA say? Have you asked him/her what are the prerequisites for the program to be run? (Ask to see the install doc and check to see what else may be needed for what the DBA wants to do.)

Thanks for the response. After checking with the DBA, I found out there are some other scripts that needed to be run by root first that he did not tell me about.

Ah, yes. Sometimes DBAs can be quite forgetful! I've had some great DBAs I've worked with and some that have been pretty uncommunicative and eager to point fingers.

Good luck.
