Re: ps: warning: /var/run/dev.db: No such file or directory

David Landgren asked on Wednesday January 07, 2004:



 I watched the server boot, and I saw nothing that resembled a shell
 error. Is there a way to tee the output of /etc/rc to a file, so that
I
 could scan it afterwards?


If you uncomment the 'console.info' line in /etc/syslog.conf, and touch
/var/log/console.log, you should have a copy of all console messages
next time you reboot. This appears to include the output of /etc/rc.

 The server was rebooted with 'shutdown -h now', powered down, and then 
 later restarted.
 
 I've since noticed that cron didn't restart, which is odd, but fixable, 
 but more importantly, when I run ps, it spits out 'ps: warning: 
 /var/run/dev.db: No such file or directory' (although, as far as I can 
 tell, the output is perfectly reasonable).
 
 I'm wondering if one is a symptom of the other. In any event, 
 /var/run/dev.db is most certainly not there.

You don't need to reboot - just run dev_mkdb.
