Hi, I've reboot one of server from hosted vmware & below error is got at the time of starting:
usage: kill [ -s signal ! -p ] [ -a ] pid ... kill -l [ signal ]
usage: kill [ -s signal ! -p ] [ -a ] pid ... kill -l [ signal ]
usage: kill [ -s signal ! -p ] [ -a ] pid ... kill -l [ signal ]
usage: kill [ -s signal ! -p ] [ -a ] pid ... kill -l [ signal ]
usage: kill [ -s signal ! -p ] [ -a ] pid ... kill -l [ signal ]
can we know its being up or not ?
sandeep002gupta, you've been asked many, MANY times to provide details and ask a clear question. If you're not going to, why continue to post??? Read the "Question Guidelines" and "How to ask a smart question" links in my posting signature.
You provide ZERO details about the situation....if you want to know if the server is up, then TRY LOGGING IN TO IT. If you can, guess what??? It's WORKING....test other things from there.
There is a script (or probably more) somewhere in /etc/rcX.d/ (X is a number) and that script(s) did not run properly. For me it looks like a damaged environment and you should restore that from your backup.
oh yes!
I have rebooted this VM server & at the time of booting server is giving these error messages.
usage: kill [ -s signal ! -p ] [ -a ] pid ... kill -l [ signal ]
usage: kill [ -s signal ! -p ] [ -a ] pid ... kill -l [ signal ]
usage: kill [ -s signal ! -p ] [ -a ] pid ... kill -l [ signal ]
usage: kill [ -s signal ! -p ] [ -a ] pid ... kill -l [ signal ]
usage: kill [ -s signal ! -p ] [ -a ] pid ... kill -l [ signal ]
Here I've attached snapshot for reference.
..and you STILL have not provided any further details. Saying "this VM server", tells us absolutely NOTHING, and all you did with the screen shot is to give us the exact messages you're typing in. You have provided no new information at all, and haven't answered the questions asked. You have been here for FOUR YEARS now...and you've been asked about this MANY times. If you're not going to bother answering questions and following the forum rules/guidelines, then why bother posting??? No one here likes guessing over and over, and trying to get information out of you.
Again, if you want to know if the server is up, TRY LOGGING IN TO IT.
