Hosts going purple

[Jeff Newman]

Hi,

I am running the latest hobbit server/client (with all the patches
applied) and I still have AIX hosts going purple due to the netstat
command (nearest I can tell)

>From ps:
# ps -ef | grep hob
  hobbit 13306 16692   0 03:58:28      -  0:00 sh
/usr/local/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh
  hobbit 15572 13306   0 03:58:28      -  0:00 sh
/usr/local/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-aix.sh
    root 16262 12252   0 11:07:52  pts/0  0:00 grep hob
  hobbit 16692     1   0   Oct 30      -  0:03
/usr/local/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitlaunch
--config=/usr/local/hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg
--log=/usr/local/hobbit/client/logs/clientlaunch.log
--pidfile=/usr/local/hobbit/client/logs/clientlaunch.devarb2.pid
  hobbit 18104 15572  64 03:58:29      - 206:41 netstat -an
  hobbit 20870 15572   0 03:58:29      -  2:55 grep ^tcp

If I go on that host (which is purple right now) and run "netstat -an
| grep ^tcp" it runs just fine.

This happens mostly on AIX 4.3.3

There is nothing in any log file on the client to indicate any problem.

Can provide any needed info.

Thanks,
Jeff
