Hi,

I'm working on HPUX 11iv2

I have add a new line in my inittab :

mytest:23456:respawn:su - usertest -c 'mydaemon'

and when I reload with init q, my process don't start.

Where can I find init logfile, I want to trace it .

Thanks

Olivier

Olivier,

I'd look at /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log, but I suspect that your
problem is that you're not providing the full pathname to /usr/bin/su
in your inittab entry.

I found the error in the Console Log for the last boot.
On HP-UX you inittab id are limited to 4 characters.

mytest is too long you have to use myte.

I didn't find inittab's logs in other place.

Thanks

Olivier
