lsconf output

[M Hirst]

Good Day,

I have a IBM p640 (2X Power3) running AIX 4.3.3. Does anybody know
why i get the following output from lsconf.

/usr/sbin/lsconf: set: unknown option: A
Network Information
Host Name:
IP Address:
Sub Netmask:
Gateway:
Name Server:
Domain Name:

There are two network cards and both are up.

Hostname gives the correct response and smitty 'sees' the correct
addresses etc...

Cheers

Martin

Hallo Martin,

I do not have your hardware/software combination to check but lsconf aka
prtconf is a simple (Korn-) shell script. Thus you might just look into it
and/or use the -x Option to watch it during execution.

Andreas

Someone at IBM forgot to include the #!/bin/ksh line at the head
of the script. I believe the problem's been fixed in a higher level
of whatever fileset delivers those scripts.

Thank You!

I (stupidly) was running lsconf in a BASH shell. When i switched to
ksh it worked like a charm.

Cheers

Martin

You're not stupid. It should still work under BASH.
IBM's poor QA is what's stupid (see Nicholas' post).

Warded off the evil spirits, eh?
