I've tried and I'm afraid I cannot reproduce this ... could you please
send me ...
1. contents of /var/pcp/config/pmie/control
2. output from: ls -l /var/log/pcp
3. output from: pminfo -f pmcd.pmie
4. output from: ps -ef | grep pmie
5. output from: ls -l /var/tmp/pmie
6. output from: pmie_check -V
7. output from: pminfo -f pmcd.pmie
8. output from: ps -ef | grep pmie
9. output from: ls -l /var/tmp/pmie
Thanks.
