Hi all,
Wonder if you can help me answere a question?
We have just purchased a Sun V880 with solaris 2.8. I have noticed there is a picld process running that is taking up alot of memeory. After looking at the man pages it produces the following:
"The Platform Information and Control Library (PICL) provides
a mechanism to publish platform-specific information for
clients to access in a platform-independent way. picld main-
tains and controls access to the PICL information from
clients and plug-in modules. The daemon is started in both
single-user and multi-user boot mode."
My question is does this process have to running? what does the server lack without it?
I know you can stop the process, but wanted to know if this will cause a problem on the server.
Thanks
Chris
