Hi!
We're here running some Sun SPARCstations, SunOS 4.1.1. Every time a
machine boots I get an error message:
su: illegal option -- c
usage: uucico [-xNUM] [-r[0|1]] -sSYSTEM -uUSERID -dSPOOL -iINTERFACE
The problem is in the startup script /etc/rc. Here are the lines in question:
if [ -d /usr/lib/uucp ]; then
su uucp -c /usr/lib/uucp/uusched & \
echo -n ' uucp'
The line with the 'su uucp' is obviously syntactically wrong. The
argument '-c' is between the user name 'uucp' and the command
'/usr/lib/uucp/uusched'.
The manual page of uusched(8c) gives exactly the same (wrong) syntax.
Now my question: For what purpose is the '-c' in that line. How should
the line look if it was correct. Did it run under SunOS 4.0.3 or earlier
versions?
regards
