Hi all.... I have a customer who has OSF V2.1 and PCM V1.5 He is seeing an increasing occurence of console manager dying off and in the log file it says: write error on local socket /var/opt/console/tmp/console.ctrl interrupted system call - console manager shutting down. I have suggested he may want V1.6 but firstly that doesn't list V2.1 as a supported operating system version and secondly he would like to know if installing V1.6 is actually going to stop console from dying off like this. I can't see anyone else having had this error with 1.5 (not noted in here anyway) so given the version of O/S I'm tempted to say it's more likely to be a configuration issue which we should check out anyway (since engineering are still providing support/patches for V2.1 it makes it arkward for us to refuse to support it because it's an old version). Has anyone else seen this behaviour on 1.5 or 1.6? Does it appear to be configuration to anyone else? What should the permissions on /var/opt/console/tmp/console.ctrl be? Will V1.6 install on V2.1 even though it's not SPD listed? What else can I check that might be interfering with this? thanks in advance... Jo Coffey unix, uk csc.

Oh incidentally - *any* help on this greatly appreciated - customer just chased to say he's had to reboot the system 5 times this morning already and they're not amused. They will try to get to upgrade to 3.0 and 1.6 asap but want it worked on in the mean time since 1.6 might not fix it! I'm spinning the 1.6 kit onto a dat as I type... | |||||

I doubt the 1.6 code will even run on 2.1 as it was built on 3.*. I'm
not familiar with the problems of downward compatibility on U*x as I am
on OpenVMS.
Since the customer is experiencing the problem so often what I think
you should do is define the environment variable CONSOLE_DEBUG to
"IPC,DAEMON"
export it a restart PCM. We'll get a*lot* more debugging info.
Regs,
Dan

Cheers, I'll call him this morning and get him to do that. Hopefully V1.6 should arrive with him sometime today and we can push him up to V3.0 of the operating system at the same time. Thanks for the support.... Jo | |||||
