HELP!
My "/etc/dump W" command seems to have broken. Running it gets nothing. No
prompt, no error message, no anything. I have tried restoring a copy of
dump from a backup tape. No difference. And I KNOW that it was working ok
when the dump was made because the scripts we use to do the dumps rely on
"/etc/dump W" working. I suspect that a file(s) used by dump was corrupted
either in contents or permissions. The man for dump only mentions
/etc/dumpdates and /etc/fstab. I checked these files and the contents look
ok (I can be sure since the total #lines for both files is about 25). The
permissions also look good:
-rw-r--r-- for /etc/dumpdates and -rwxr-xr-x for /etc/fstab.
What am I missing ?
