This is Linux, SuSE distribution, 3.0.74 kernel.
One of our testers wrote:
pmcd_wait will be there and then gone with no pmcd. Startup messages are fine.
Then service start and it works. Some sort of timing problem. Need to find
where the above message is from. Its not pmcd nor any init script that I can
find. set -x in pcp/pmcd init.d scripts showed nothing unusual.
I take that to agree with you, that PCP is starting before NIS. But we
haven't seen this before.
I recently (with Nathan's help) consolidated two pmda's into one, which
wouldn't seem related. Unless it shortened PCP startup somehow and now
it finishes before the network is initialized.
Thx.
