startup problems on AIX 4.3.3

[Lehmann]

Hi!

I have an error in my /etc/inittab file which result in that my async kernel
extension doesn't load (orapw:2:wait:/etc/loadext -l /etc/pw-syscall)

Does AIX have a startuplog/systemlog where I can see whats happening duing
startup?

I normally use Solaris...;-)

Lehmann

Lehmann,
Does the command work correctly when you try it from the AIX command line?
Make sure that is true first. If so, then add a redirection at the end of the
command, as in:

orapw:2:wait:/etc/loadext -l /etc/pw-syscall > /tmp/loadext.out 2>&1

So that messages go to the log file /tmp/loadext.out. That should show you what
is wrong.

orapw:2:wait:/etc/loadext -l /etc/pw-syscall >/tmp/pw-syscall.log 2>&1

The async. I/o must be enable.
