install_assist.

run "smitty install_assist" and perform a proper exit.

Or you could just comment out or remove this entry from the inittab.

And what runs in the inittab prior to these entries? Please print
several lines, not just one.

Many thanks!

Importance: High

Folks,

Have a few P655's running AIX 5.2 (two running 5.1).

All have the same lines in /etc/inittab

   qdaemon:23456789:wait:/usr/bin/startsrc -sqdaemon
   writesrv:23456789:wait:/usr/bin/startsrc -swritesrv
   dt_nogb:2:wait:/etc/rc.dt

Yet, more than one of them, after a reboot is not running any of these
daemons?

On one of the 5.2 boxes, see in the log file /var/adm/ras/conslog

   qdaemon: 0781-290 Terminated due to signal.

Any thoughts why these lines are not properly starting their daemons?
I
can start all three manually with no problems.

Thanks,
