I am running SCO Unix Sys V 3.2.2 and I'm getting a message that says scoinfo: Invalid Argument and a return code of 1 when I run the uname command. I've tried it with (I think) every possible combination of flags. Does anybody out there know where this comes from or how to fix it? Thanks! -- -- Charles "Chip" Yamasaki chip@oshcomm.osha.gov

I'm posting because I think this may be of general interest. ################## cut here ################ cut here ################## Enter multiuser mode, get the message "scoinfo: Invalid argument". KEYWORDS: scoinfo invalid argument enter multiuser mode uname error unix 3.2 version 2.0 mpx RELEASE: SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Operating System Version 2.0 SCO MPX Release 1.0.0 PROBLEM: Bringing the system to multiuser mode, I get the message "scoinfo: Invalid argument". CAUSE: Installing SCO MPX Release 1.0 on an existing SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Operating System Version 2.0 system generates this error. WARNING: This configuration is not supported by SCO, and has not been tested by the SCO Quality Assurance department. In order to run SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Operating System Version 2.0, you need to upgrade to SCO MPX Release 1.1. SOLUTION: SCO MPX Release 1.0 was not intended to be installed on SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Operating System Version 2.0. The SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Operating System Version 2.0 uname command makes a system call that was not incorporated into the kernel until this version of the operating system. The error message can be avoided by replacing the /bin/uname binary with one from SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Operating System or Open Desktop Release 1.0. ################## cut here ################ cut here ################## I hope this helps you with your problem. - Paul Zola Support Technical Lead, Operating System paulz@sco.COM Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose. - Emily Saliers DISCLAIMER: I speak for myself, and not for SCO.
