Subject: Re: problems starting dsmcad from inittab on HP-UX

Goran - Some ideas...

- Assure that the position of your mtsmcad entry in inittab is such
  that /usr/local/bin is mounted by the time it goes to execute.

- Have your inittab send the output to a file rather than /dev/null,
  so you have some diagnostics to look at: don't throw away potentially
  valuable information.

- Put like "#!/bin/sh" at the top of your Bourne shell scripts.

- Use full execution paths in your dsmcad.sh (a good practice, that
keeps
  us all out of trouble :-).

- Assure that your options files are resulting in each dsmcad having its
  own, unique port number.

thanks Rich :-)
questions :

1. how to make sure that /usr is mounted by the time to execute ? i'm 99%
sure it is :-)
2. oh yeah ... full paths rox !
3. this is something new to me i must admit :-S >>>> "Assure that your
options files are resulting in each dsmcad having its own, unique port
number." ???
