Do  ovstatus | more  and see what other daemons are not running.  It is
most likely that netmon cannot start because one of his predecessors is not
up yet.  If  the others are up, then go to /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace  and
see if you can find a clue in there.

I'm running NetView for AIX 4.1 on a AIX 4.1.5 platform.
The command ovstart netmon returns
netmon
OVs_WELL_BEHAVED
NOT_RUNNING
17078

exit(255)

All of the ovstart commands are very slow to execute, can anyone tell me
what is happening.
