NIS causing -S parameter to shutdown broker
INTRODUCTION:
=============
Broker is started using the -S parameter but is shutdown almost
immediately but works fine when not starting with the -S parameter.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
The first thing to check is the media that has been installed on
the system. If Progress for SCO openserver has been installed on the
system which is Unixware 7.0.1 then the same error will happen.
A newly installed version of Sco unixware OS automatically installs
Network Information Services (NIS). If the NIS package is installed
you may not be able to use the services file.
This clashed with Progress when starting a broker using the -S
parameter. You can start a broker without using the services file
which will cause no problem.
This error will show in the log file as:
multi-user session begin(333)
begin normal shutdown(2248)
multi-user session end(334)
This all happens within the space of one second.
NIS is only useful when an NIS server is present.
To get around this problem you need to uninstall NIS.
To do this:-
pkgrm nis
should solve the problem.
