Hi I'm crossposting to some sys groups, once, to find out which systems
do _not_ have rpc.rstatd

I have written a public domain version of rpc.rstatd, which I will
gladly send to anyone who needs it.  I will post it to alt.sources a
while later.

What is rstatd?  From the man page:
     rstatd, rpc.rstatd - kernel statistics server

     rstatd is a  server  which  returns  performance  statistics
     obtained  from the kernel.  These statistics are graphically
     displayed by perfmeter(1), xload, etc...  The rstatd  daemon  is
     normally invoked by inetd(8C).

Part of the program reads the kernel, and is therefore highly
system-dependent, so I would not expect my code to compile right away
on any other systems, without porting.

So...

   1.  Does your system have rstatd?  (In /usr/etc or /etc, possibly
rpc.rstatd  or rstatd.)

   2.  Does your system have the rpc library? (In /lib or/usr/lib,
possibly libsun.a, librpc.a, or in libc.a  Try:

  nm LIB | egrep 'xdr|clnt|svc'

where LIB is the library you are checking.

   3.  What is the manufacturer and name of your operating system and
computer?

   4.  Would you like to receive my sources to rpc.rstatd?

Followup-to e-mail.

Thanks in advance,

Brian

I'm currently coding several Motif applications and was attempting to
conform to the Motif Style guide. My problem is that I am not sure which
keys to bind to on a HP720 for an Undo/Cut/Copy/Paste... menu.

The style guide gives :

Undo = Alt + Bkspace
Cut  = Shift + Delete
Copy = Ctrl + Insert
Paste= Shift + Insert

What keys should I bind to for a HP???

I tried the OSF Keysyms from /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB but they don't
seem to work - I'm now using the HP specific keysyms eg. Ctrl<Key>InsertChar

Has any one got any advice???

Help. I'm in search of plot (1G) and graph (1G) on the HP 700 platform and
cannot find them anywhere! Searches thru my local SE have not been successful.
These are part of the standard UNIX distribution and I have found these files
on many other vendors boxes that have a vanilla installation. Why does HP not
ship these 2 basic capabilites?? :^(
I'm looking for these 2 programs and the bunch of libraries that they use. 
I've also checked with Interex; they don't have them, so the search continues..
If you have these on your system or have ANY information as to their 
whereabouts,please reply (by e-mail). If there's an overwhelming response, 
I'll post a summary.
Many Thanks,

Our local HP SE said that you get the fast wide SCSI on the upgrade.
However, the local Convex rep (who resells the HPs as a cluster)
said that he talked to insiders at HP who insisted that the upgrade
does *not* include the fast wide SCSI.  Even more ominous, he said
that HP was having problems getting the fast wide SCSI to work
correctly.  I'm confused.  Any HP employee who is *really* on the
HP 730->735 upgrade team want to comment officially?????

The problem is that someone has selected the SECURE mode at some time
in the past.  SECURE mode is exactly what it implies...the machine will
never stop booting up, which prevents someone from interrupting the 
boot process for some clandestine purpose.

To unset the secure mode, there must be no bootable disks attached to
the computer.  This usually means disconnecting the internal disks by
opening up the box, a job best left to your hardware support people.

Once the processor's bootcode cannot locate a bootable device, the
boot admin menu will show up and you can turn off SECURE mode.

You must be joking!! Give me 'less' than 'more' any day of the week.
It's possible to make 'less' look more like 'more' than it is by default
if you so wish.

If you're looking for a standard pager, why not settle for 'less' which
will then be the same on all your machines, rather than having to arse
around with n different versions of 'more'?

I am migrating from an Apollo running Domain/OS to an HP 730 running HP-UX.  
I have a few questions:

1. Does anyone have a termcap entry for 'hpterm'?  I need to be able to 
   rlogin to Sun and Apollo machines and use vi.

2. I have DMX (DM-lite) installed, but no documentation.  Is this normal, 
   or do I have an incomplete package?  Where do I get the documentation?

3. Does anyone have a recommendation for a simple (and cheap) tool that 
   runs under HP-UX for preparing presentation materials (slides, 
   overheads, foils, whatever you want to call them)?  

   I have a very effective method that I have been using under Domain/OS 
   for many years.  I use a tiny markup language to select fonts (including 
   icons), a program to convert this into a pad so I can preview the result,
   and another program to convert the pad into a gmf file that I can send 
   to prf.  Sounds complicated, but its actually very fast.  Along with a
   lot of other pleasures, though, this will be going the way of Domain/OS.

   My guess is that there is probably some markup language (TeX?) that
   could be used to produce PostScript, and I could use GhostView to
   preview the result.  I'm not opposed to WYSIWYG word-processors, but
   I find that most of them are overkill for this application.

We have two HP Apollo 700's, and each is hooked up to a HP grey-scale
monitor  (98774A, 98774B).  Here's the problem:  shortly after installation,
each of these monitors began to lose contrast, i.e. it became increasingly
hard to read the screens.  When we finally got around to calling HP (this
is a grad-student lab. . .) they disavowed any general problems with these
model monitors.  My question is twofold:  has anyone else experienced such

I recently tried mounting a single session Kodak PhotoCD disc on an

I'm a little surprised since I was under the impression that PhotoCD
formatting was ISO 9660.  Can HP-UX read High Sierra format?  The
documentation suggests that you can, althought it wasn't clear to me
whether you were supposed to use "-t cdfs" or not.

I'm wondering if the drive I'm using isn't compatible for some reason.
The bottom of the drive says:

Actually it _might_ be a bug.  I've run into the same problem since I updated
a Sparc2 to Solaris 2.1.  Even after cutting to 7 the number of groups to
which root on the Sparc belongs, attempts to mount directories from any hp
running 8.0-8.07 _still_ fail with this same rpc error.  Any other ideas?
This is basically gross behavior.

The _only_ good news is that the Sparc has no trouble mounting directories
from a 720 running 9.0 regardless of root's group status.

Of course, running the whole thing under Architect's test mode

 Try pressing "Shift" "Control" "Reset" keys (if I'm not mistaken, it's been a
 while). It should close your X-windows.

  Actually HP BLS is a B1-TARGETED operating system that has not yet
been fully evaluated by NCSC as an official B1 operating system.

  HP is still in the process and moving towards B1 but they don't have
an official B1 operating system yet.  In fairness to HP, many other
so-called B1 operating systems aren't yet finished with evaluation
either.

From the 9.0 f77(1) man page:

           +  Arguments that end with .F are processed by the C
              preprocessor, with the output written to a temporary file.
              The file is then compiled and removed.

This feature is new with release 9.0.
