Please help -- Suddenly, I cannot telnet to SCO box! 1

[rostik]

Hi everyone,
this morning I have run a "sort" command: sort file_name.
File was very big. I've vate for 5 min. and then terminated telnet session. Now
I cannot connect. It gives me error: " No utpm entry. You must exec "LOGIN" from lower level "sh". Connect has been terminated."

What to do?

Thanks in advance.
Rostik

have you rebooted? or if that is not an option right now, maybe you can kill all 'stale' ttypxx processes which would free up pseudo tty's... or if you were using a specific login, you might just kill all of those processes from the console, as root. HTH

you probably filled up your root file system.
delete some stuff in /tmp or /usr/tmp.

Thank you guys. I have cleaned /tmp directory and then restarted Unix box.
It works!
Thanks again.
