HP Tru64 UNIX Technical Updates for the Version 5.1B and Higher Operating System and Patches (February 2010)

occurs because the large number of patches, when concatenated on the command line, exceed

the shell's arg limit. To work around this problem, temporarily change the sysconfigtab

value by entering the following command:

# sysconfig -r proc exec_disable_arg_limit=1

You can then continue the command-line patch installation.

Multiple sys_check Utility Versions (Nov. 2003)

This patch kit contains a version of the sys_check utility that may be a lower version than the

one installed on your system if you downloaded and installed the sys_check Web kit. If that

is the case, installing this patch kit will downgrade the version of sys_check that is being used

by the system. You can, however, restore the later version.

To determine the version recognized by your system, run the following command:

# /usr/sbin/use_sys_check -v

Note: You will be required to create a login account if you have not already done so. If you use

the site's search facility, do not specify the .tar file extension.

This problem will be fixed in the next Version 5.1B patch kit.

If this version displayed is lower than the version you downloaded from the Web, you can set

the system default to the higher version. In the following example, the sys_check version you

installed from the Web is 126:

# /usr/sbin/use_sys_check 126

If you plan to remove the patch kit, make sure that the system default version of sys_check is

set to the version installed with the patch kit before removing the patch kit. After you delete the

patch kit, the system default version of sys_check will automatically be set to the version of

sys_check that you downloaded from the Web. This is because dupatch saves the symbolic

links that point to the Web kit location when the patch gets installed and will restore these

symbolic links when the patch gets deleted.

You will encounter problems if you delete the sys_check Web kit and then delete this patch

kit, because dupatch will restore the symbolic links to the Web kit location when the patch is

deleted. If you have deleted the Web kit, then the symbolic links will point to nonexistent files.

You can fix this problem by reinstalling the sys_check Web kit.

Regression in find Command (Nov. 2003)

The find command delivered in Patch 1197.00 contains a regression that affects the traversing

of very large directory structures. The following is an example of the error message generated

if you should experience the problem:

$ find . -name abc

find: Cannot open file ./path/filename/

: Too many open files

find: cannot open < ./aa5142>

find: cannot open < ./aa5143>

find: cannot open < ./aa5144>

To correct this problem, you must install the following Early Release Patch (ERP) kit:

T64KIT0020545-V51BB24-E-20031104.tar

You can find this ERP kit on the following Web site:
