[Bigsister-general] disk and startup problem with big sister win2k clients

[Scott Phillips <suppressed>]

Hi.

I've got two problems with the Big Sister windows client (both on win2k
server):

1. The services were loaded as per the instructions (got two files from
the resource kit, ran install32.exe etc).  The services are listed, and 
when I tell them to start, the server indicates that the started. 
However no data is sent to the server (and I don't think it appears in
the task manager either, although I'm not sure what I'm looking for).

However, when I run it from the command line with the perl command, it
starts fine and begins sending data.  If I close the dos window, the
client stops sending data.  So obviously the exe and perl are in the
right place.  Any ideas why the service manager would say it started
when it has not?


2. (On a different server) I can start the big sister client by hand,
however it is not reporting disk data.  Everything updates on the big
sister server, except the disk part.  It stays purple and displays a
message that says "no file systems monitored."

In the uxmon file, I have
localhost(jones2k-svr) disk

This is the same thing I have on another server, and it works there
just fine.


Any ideas?


(oh, sorry about the post yesterday.  It was a long and frustrating
day.  In the end, I ended up rebooting the server, and then it started
graphing stuff.  I though that was only reserved for the windows world
:)
