[comp.sys.hp] CS80 exerciser

Here at Utah we have about a zillion HP disks, and occasionaly one of
them starts failing with "maintenence tracks full" errors.  We call in
our service reps, they hook up the disk to some portable computer and
run some tests on it, than claim it is fixed.  Is there a way to do this
WITHOUT involving an HP CE?  Can /usr/CE.utilities/CS80/exerciser do this?
What is the service engineer password?  Why does it use "ps -e" as a way to
tell the machine is in single user mode?  If netisr (hpux 6.5) is running,
the exerciser won't.  Is the exerciser useful for anything?
