Hi all.

New to Unix.

Is there any one that could point me in the right direction. The problem is on a Nortel Meridain Link which uses Unix. What I need to know is how can I stop it booting up so I can fix a file that has become currupt.

I don't know what a Nortel meridian Link is, but if it runs unix, you will need to boot into single user mode - there may be an option during the bootup process. Then run file system check 'fsck' to repair the corruption.

Alternatively let it boot to multi user, logon as root and shutdown to single user with 'init S' then run fsck.
