I ran /usr/lib/acct/runacct by hand. /var/adm/acct/nite/fd2log has the following line added: ln: /var/adm/acct/nite/lock1 and /var/adm/acct/nite/lock are identical
I searched the docs (using SpotLight) for lock1 and this led to the instructions "How to Restart the runacct Script". After rm lastdate lock* (note: lock* was not found) /usr/lib/acct/runacct will now run by hand. This freed up about 5% of /var. It is now about 92% full. *-------------- Running /usr/lib/acct/monacct by hand still gives me the following error: acctmerg: read error file 0. File may be empty. I'm still looking at this one. So far no clues. Thanks for the help. At least the daily is working now.

The cron entry overwrites that file each time it is run, so most likely the date on it is this morning, 2:30am. > I was playing around with > this yesterday and deleted this file.

I'd say yes, but it doesn't make sense to me that /var/adm/acct/nite/fd2log could get created but /var/adm/acct/nite/statefile could not. Check the permissions on the directory anyways ( ls -ld /var/adm/acct/nite/ ) to verify they look ok. You might try running /usr/lib/acct/runacct by hand, as the adm user, to see if anything else strange is going on. Perhaps it is a space issue, that at the time there was not enough space to create the /var/adm/acct/nite/statefile file? -f http://www.blackant.net/ > Thanks for the ideas, > Glen Gunselman _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
