Error Messages for Component ID 0803
0803-005 Cannot open the String directory
Possible Causes
- You used the news
command, but access was denied because you do not have read-execute permission
to the /usr or the /usr/news subdirectories.
Procedures for Recovery
- Establish read-execute permissions
by doing one of the following:
0803-006 There is not enough memory available
now
Possible Causes
This error occurs when using the news
command. The system attempts to allocate memory using the malloc
subroutine while space is unavailable in the /usr/news subdirectory.
This occurs for one of the following reasons:
Procedures for Recovery
- Remove unnecessary processes or wait
for them to stop running.
Enter the ps
-eaf command to check the number of processes that are running.
If there are too many processes running, do one of the following:
- Wait until some of the processes are completed.
- Use the kill
command to stop a process that you started. If you did not start the process,
use the su
command to change to the root user and stop the process with the kill
command, or ask the owner of the process to stop the process.
- Remove unnecessary files or free up sufficient
memory for the files.
Use the li
-ld command to check the size and the number of files that exist in
the /usr/news subdirectory. If there is not enough memory because
of the size or the number of files, more memory can be freed by doing one
of the following:
- Remove unnecessary files using the rm
or delete command.
0803-007 Cannot move to the String directory
Possible Causes
You used the news
command, but access was denied for one of the following reasons:
Procedures for Recovery
- Verify that the /var and /var/news directories
exist with the correct ownership and permissions.
- Enter the ls
-ld /var/news command to verify the directory's existence.
- If the directories do not exist, do the
following:
- Create the directory by entering the mkdir
/var/news command.
- Ensure that the ownership for the /var/news
directory is bin for group and bin for owner by entering
the ls -ld /var/news command.
- Establish full permissions for the directory
by entering the chmod
777 /var command and the chmod 777 /var/news command.
- If the directories do exist, check the
ownership and permissions using the procedures outlined in steps b and
c.
- Ensure that the symbolic link exists.
- Use the su
command to change to the root user. See if the link exists by entering
the ls -ld /usr/news command. A symbolically linked directory is
indicated by an arrow and the contents of the symbolic link listed after
the directory name, as follows:
/usr/news ->
/var/news
- If the /usr/news directory is not
followed by an arrow pointing to the /var/news directory, enter
the ls -ld /var/news command to verify that the /var/news
directory exists. If it does not exist, do the following:
- Create the directory by entering the mkdir
/var/news command.
- Ensure that the ownership for the /var/news
directory is bin for group and bin for owner by entering
the ls -ld /var/news command. Also, check that all users have the
following read-write-execute permissions:
drwxrwxrwx 3bin bin 512 Mar 04 11:48 /var/news
Enter the chgrp
bin /var/news command to change the group. Enter the chown
bin /var/news command to change the owner. Enter the chmod 777
/var/news command to obtain full read-write-execute permissions.
- If the /usr/news file exists as
an unlinked file, remove it using the rmdir
/usr/news command.
- To create the link between the /usr/news
and the /var/news files, enter the ln
-s /var/news /usr/news command.
0803-008 Cannot open DirectoryName/FileName
Possible Causes
- You used the news
command, and you do not have read-execute permission to the /usr/news/FileName
file.
Procedures for Recovery
0803-009 The HOME environment variable
does not exist
Possible Causes
- You used the news
command, which calls the HOME environment variable. Access was denied
while trying to open a file under the /news directory because the
HOME environment variable does not exist.
Procedures for Recovery
- Define the HOME environment variable.
To define the variable, enter the export HOME=/u/UserID
command and retry the news command. Use the env
command to verify that the HOME variable is defined correctly.
You can also set the HOME variable in your .profile
file so that it is properly set on each login.
0803-011 Cannot create another process
at this time
Possible Causes
- You attempted a fork()
using the wall command, but there was not enough memory available
for the fork to create a new process.
Procedures for Recovery
0803-058 Can't make String
Possible Causes
This error occurs while using the confer
command. After closing a conference by pressing the Ctrl-D key combination,
you are asked Do you want a transcript mailed to you?
If you answer
yes, this message is displayed for one of the following reasons:
Procedures for Recovery
Note: You cannot recover the transcript
of this conference. These procedures allow you to receive a transcript
of your next conference.
0803-059 Cannot read FileName
Possible Causes
- You entered the confer command
and it could not open the /etc/utmp FileName file for reading
because it does not exist or is damaged. The /etc/utmp FileName
file contains information on users who are logged in.
Procedures for Recovery
- Create the /etc/utmp FileNamefile.
- All users must log off and then
log on again to create the file /etc/utmp FileName file.
- Reenter the confer
command.
0803-062 Can't create conference String
Possible Causes
Procedures for Recovery
0803-073 Cannot run mesg -y
Possible Causes
- You used the confer command to
set up a conference among some users on the local node, but the system
was unable to make the tty writable by running the mesg -y command
from within the confer command.
Procedures for Recovery
- Ensure that the /bin/mesg file in the
mesg -y command exists and has the proper execute permissions, and reenter
the confer command.
- Enter the su
command to change to the root user.
- Enter the ls
-al /bin/mesg command to confirm that the mesg
command exists.
- If the /bin/mesg does not exist,
it must be reinstalled from the original system installation source or
copied from another machine that has the same version number of the operating
system.
- Ensure that the /bin/mesg file
has execute permissions set. Follow the procedure described
in "Recovering
from File and Directory Permission Errors"
.
- Reenter the confer
command.
Note: This error is usually generated
by the confer command. However, it can also be generated by the
joinconf command if the joinconf command calls the confercommand.
0803-074 Illegal redirection of stdin
or stdout
Possible Causes
- You entered the confer or joinconf
command and redirected the stdin or stdout file to a device
other than a tty device.
Procedures for Recovery
- Reenter the confer or joinconf command
and direct the stdin or stdout file to a valid tty device.
- Enter the lsdev
-C -c tty command to list the valid tty names.
- Reenter the confer
or joinconf
command and redirect the stdin or stdout file to the proper
tty device.
0803-076 Too many participants
